Stick your fingers in your ears and shout loudly and repetitively " I can't hear you, I can't hear you".
Hopefully they will get the hint.
Failing that, as soon as you have been told, tell the nearest person, very loudly that you would like to tell them a secret!

Best thing is to tell them that you don't want to know and walk away, the more you do this eventually they will get the hint and tell someone else and leave you alone if you are not around to hear what they want to say.

Tell them if they want to keep a secret then they shouldn't be telling you. I used to get this alot too and finally told the people responsible to just not tell me.
Besides there are secrets and there are secrets.

Everyone wants to know secrets and gossip...in fact I am the Milkman that is having an affair with another (un-named) Answers particpiant! Anyway, once you stop being told secrets you would certainly start to miss it.

People must trust you, they know your not telling. I have also been told things I didn't want to know. Be happy that your friends trust you so much. BUT, simply tell them you really have enough things to deal with. Keeping secrets isn't going to be one of them anymore.

Just tell em exactly what you've told us. Say I don't want to get caught up in things that I really have nothing to do with. Its not fair dropping a big burden on you when you don't need it.
Good luck and tell me how it goes!

Just be upfront say "look I dont want to know I dont want to be involved" If they need to tell someone that badly tell them to get intouch with the samaratins. Start being firm otherwise they wont take you seriously!

Just tell them that your not interested in hearing things that you dont want to hear. Tell them to just keep things to them selves. Mostlikely, they are rummors or lies about someone. Dont get envolved. Peaple like to stir up trouble for other people instead of minding their own buisness..

Well I guess you are a good listener try not to get involved too much. Its OK giving people bits of you but you need to keep some for yourself.

When they say, "guess what?" to you. Answer with, "Guess what? I really don't care. Find somebody who has nothing better to do than mind other people's business. I have enough of my own to keep straight."
And yes, everybody has had this problem at some time.
