Yes, I am one of those whose trust has been abused, and I've lost friends because of it - oh, not that I said anyone bad about anyone, but simply that I revealed an opinion or perhaps a part of my character they didn't like. <br /><br />It used to hurt, but I think these days I'm over it. If someone doesn't like me, tough luck! I'm still left with a certain caution, however.Jay at The Depp Effecthttp://www.thedeppeffect.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3467242994126386706.post-52247222796231782512013-07-31T08:11:40.271+01:002013-07-31T08:11:40.271+01:00Jenny: It's true that people can twist things ...Jenny: It's true that people can twist things you tell them out of all recognition.

Secret about me, I mean. I'd feel awful if I let someone else's secret slip because friends should be able to keep things in confidence. I think I'm pretty good about that, though. <br /><br />On the other hand, I have told my kids things that I didn't know they weren't already aware of and as soon as I see the expression on their faces, I find myself saying, "Oh! I probably shouldn't have told you that!" My older son calls me the Hagrid of moms.Secret Agent Womanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07564690116156754219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3467242994126386706.post-58196941666325902442013-07-26T18:58:51.202+01:002013-07-26T18:58:51.202+01:00Ramana: How very admirable!

When I smoked my first cigarette, my mother told me that I should never do anything outside the home that I would not do inside the home. She permitted me to smoke in the home. Those were the days when smoking was not such a big crime as it is now. I have followed that dictum as have all my siblings and our children. All of us talk openly about our good and misfortunes and our family matters with family and friends. What is there to hide?Rummuserhttp://www.rummuser.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3467242994126386706.post-26765297999172311882013-07-25T14:09:54.046+01:002013-07-25T14:09:54.046+01:00Z: Not a lot of secrets left then?
