Answer 1

no i have never ever regretted confiding my personal details as i instantly know who i can trust and who i cant, and so far i haven't made that mistake interesting question

Answer 2

I can honestly say I've never confided anything to anyone that could possibly be harmful if disclosed. This isn't a matter of distrust, it's discretion. I also wouldn't want to put a person in a position of having to keep a "secret." People confide in me all of the time (obviously!) & not only because of my profession, but because of the person I am, there is absolute trust. I don't know Michael S age, but I often get emails from youngsters who literally have no one to talk to. It's not healthy to keep things inside if one feels depressed & his father was, unfortunately a disappointment. Sometimes we expect more from someone than they're able to give, (especially when we're young). I have a good idea--through others--how it feels when a confidence is made, & then betrayed. & I hope, for people to whom this has been done, that they will be very selective if they "need" to talk, & not become distrustful of everyone, if once betrayed.

Answer 3

Trusting in another person implies you're seeking the other person to live up to your expectations. Regretting implies that you believe they should have. As I believe all individuals are free to choose as they wish and that none are perfect, I do not hold regret in confiding someone because it would be my fault in trusting the person to begin with.

However, in most aspects my trust increases or decreases in the person with time, instead of assuming things off hand which is why its important to be cautious beforehand since we don't really know everything about them. In most cases, trust should develop with time.

Answer 4

Yes, as a matter of fact-I told my best friend of 15 yrs something very private and only told her out of asking her for advice, in order to do the right thing-she told the very person that hates me and has for some time. I only wonder if she was laughing when she revealed the info. I don't know who is worthy of my trust except my family and God.

Answer 5

i have regrets in that regard. Lately I've been really down and confused. My dad noticed and told me to talk to him. I told him some of the less important stuff to see if he's a good person to talk to. He wasn't. He was horribly judgmental and that left me more confused about my problem. I told him I might be depressed, and he brushed it aside like it's nothing. He told me i was just acting out. At some point, he even said that I was wierd. I don't have anybody else to talk to so i keep things inside now. It doesn't feel good.
So in conclusion, I wish I never opened up to my dad.

Answer 6

Yes I have.

When I gave up my faith my senior year of highschool - I asked my friends not to tell my family. They did any way. Our church wanted to get together and lay hands on me. When I brought up that I would return the favor by laying hands on them if they tried... they gave up on that mission.

I stopped being a card carrying Christian after returning from a mission trip. We went up to NYC, took kids from bad neighborhoods camping - and it was a terrible, terrible experience. The white kids from the church got to order pizza and coke, but we brown bagged boxed lunches in for the kids. We had these tough gang member kids filling out these coloring books about obeying their parents. We sang Christian songs to them. And over all, we just made asses of ourselves. The whole dog and pony show wasn't about helping at all.

Since then I've tried a little Buddhism, but mostly I just believe in a god that doesn't require heavy funding now days.

Answer 7

i think i am very easy person to get to know. i trust people easily and they trust me easily. i care about people more than they care about me. almost everybody i ever confided in i regreted later. i am a bit mre cautious now..but not enough because i still seem to be making the same mistakes over and over again

Answer 8

yes, I wrote a heart-wrenching letter to my husband, not realising at the time that he was having an affair, but knowing "something" was going on. He showed the letter to his gf & her friends for a laugh. I found out because his gf thought that was pretty slck, so she dumped him & told me.

I've never been able to write my feelings down in a private letter ever again, for fear of someone else reading it.

Answer 9

I regret confiding to my fellow workers that I did not own a televsion, nor watched tv.

Some harassed me. One supervisor even accused me of failing to provide a proper home environment for my wife and child.

Answer 10

I was betrayed by the psychiatrist we used for family counseling, and it ended up costing us an extra $500 a month in child support payments to my husband's ex (who uses none of it to support her son). That doesn't mean I'll never trust another psychiatrist, psychologist or counselor again. I know I'll never go back to that one.

Answer 11

Yes, I once told my girfriend (ex now) that I had lots of girlfriends before her...lots. I was being honest, but she didn't appreciate it, and she didn't like it when I gave her a twenty and asked her to make a beer run for me.
