A friend told me something really big....?

Question

i have a friend who told me something pretty big and made me promise not to tell anyone, and i almost wish he hadnt told me evem though it made him feel better, but like, i need to get it out, but not tell people cuz its eating me up, and i dont want to loose the friendship.. what should i do?

im not going to put it on here, like and i know not to tell people, like what are things i can do to get it out of my system, without other people hearing

Answer 1

write it down on a piece of paper get it out ur system, then tear the paper into many little pieces and throw it. that way u saiid what is in u and his secret is a secret

Answer 2

I kinda understand what u mean, but this is a time when u can see how well u are at keepng it to urself. U have to really try hard to do this because u did promise u wouldn't tell, besides

He could be testing u to see it would tell anyone.

But if it's really killing u to keep this inside then tell me, I mean I don't know u or ur friend so how can I go back and tell him u told me and it would make u feel a whole lot better that u have gotten it out of ur system. So tell me whatever it is or just post it here on yahoo.

Then after u have done this,, ask urself

Just how good a friend are u 2 him and why is it that u just can't be trusted and why can't u keep ur mouth closed when u know u should?

I'm not trying to give u a hard time I just want u to see that when we have trst put on us we sometimes have to do what we have to do to take those test to the limits and we have to know how well we are under pressure.

If u are a true friend to him then u will prove it by having his back and not reveal anything he ask u not too

Put uyself in his shoes, if u ask someone not to tell something , u in hopes that they will not betray u, it's hurts to find out that ur friend or someone u put thrust in betrays u.

So think about that

Answer 3

If the secret is related to something illegal;
then you tell.

If the secret is legal, then you remember that FRIENDS are all about TRUST.
Your friend trusts you to keep your mouth shut. S/He needed to unload the information, and selected you as trustworthy. If you break the TRUST then you may break the friendship.

It is your responsibility to handle this information properly.

Answer 4

i imagine it may't be betraying your trust except you informed her now to not say something yet regardless of the indisputable fact that why ought to she tell lies. Now what you want to do is get on your mum and dad first and tell them the difficulty and what your chum suggested, warn your mom about your friends mom. Your mum and dad will imagine your mature and got here out like fairly of an individual and this way your mom will have a good time with that you prepared her on your friends mom and she or he will say "I already knew" and also you want to talk at the same time with your chum about keeping issues to herself. strong success

Answer 5

Well not knowing what it is your friend told you makes it kinda hard to give appropriate advice but i would have to say that if it was just juicy gossip then keep it to yourself but if it was something else and it's eating you up then perhaps you should seek advice from someone you trust who doesn't know your friend or maybe even... (god forbid!).... your parents

Answer 6

The only real reason to share would be if the secret is something that would cause harm or death to the person that told or to other.

Otherwise, you probably should not say anything.

Answer 7

Try writing it down and then telling it to yourself. Or you could shove food in your mouth and tell someone while covering your mouth. If they say "What?", just keep saying what what? It always works for me. You told someone but they dont get it.

Answer 8

If your friend is wanting to harm himself or others then you need to tell someone but if it has nothing to do with that you need to keep your mouth shut no one likes a friend that squeals!!!

Answer 9

Tell your friend your emotional struggle and you will not have to worry about him telling you anything big anymore. Try to keep this one under wraps. Good luck.

Answer 10

if you said you can keep a secret in the first place you shouldnt need to blurt it out i think you should just keep it to yourself they told you in confidence and it would be pretty mean to go behind their back and tell someone
