How to keep a secret

I have people coming to me with secrets quite frequently. Either their own or something they heard from a friend and they don’t know what to do. They usually tell me because they know I will keep my mouth shut and that I will help them help their friend.

Now, I know that their friend are in trouble, they’re ashamed of what they’ve done (or didn’t do) and they asked a few friends for help. Something I can understand. When in trouble, ask a friend for advice, it’s natural and everybody’s done it at least once.

With today’s lesson, I will teach you how to keep a secret. You have 2 choices on how to proceed.

1) If you don’t want people to know, don’t friggin tell anyone.

That is the easy part. Simple and concise. You deal with your problems by yourself and your secret is safe. Period.

2) Pick better friends.

That’s the hardest solution. Not everyone can keep a secret and not everyone is plainly reliable. If your friends are either one of these, I suggest you apply one of the 2 solutions I provided.

It seems that these points are often forgotten or ignored and I know some people that need constant reminding, if you’re one of them, there you have it. If not, I suppose you know someone who does need it, give them the URL of this post ;)
