    I have, and currently keep many secrets from people who dont need to know. Haven't let one slip yet during my life so far, doubt i ever will...sometimes its a bitch being a good listener as you seem to get burdened with this shi*e alot:(

    Yep. I'm so good I usually forget that I know them.

    One thing I've learned though: When the secret is no longer a secret (i.e. someone else tells), never tell anyone else that you knew all along. Some people hate not knowing stuff and will resent you for not telling them.

    Unfortunately, yes. But no one seems to be able to keep mine! Karma Credit Owed out the wazo!

    I agree wholeheartedly with this.

    What's your secret OP? If you don't tell us we're just going to make one up and I can guarantee you it will be a lot worse than the real one.

    Ok.. But I dont want to upset you now, So make sure you really want to know this secret before you look..


    Santa is not real...

    Quality has no secrets. She's a woman. Women can't hold their piss. Don't get Pighead wrong, women are lovely and pretty and have ever so soft skin but when it comes to keeping secrets they just can't do it.

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 381 ✭✭beautiation

    Oddly my name IRL has an anagram which directly contradicts your secret.

    He is right... I tell my husband everything... Although he is not listening half the time...

    So does it count or not?

    Told an ex partner one or two things I shouldn't have but between partners ain't such a sin really I suppose, until ya break up that is :P :P. But as a rule do keep other peoples secrets for definite!! I've had mine spilled on me though. Grrr!!!!!!! :mad:

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,233 ✭✭✭darkskol


    yes i'm usually pretty good at keeping other peoples secrets but not my own :pac:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,986 ✭✭✭Red Hand


    Yup, if someone tells me to keep something underwraps, then I will.

    If someone trusts you with something and you break that trust, you're weak. Simple as.

    Rejoice in the awareness of feeling stupid, for that’s how you end up learning new things. If you’re not aware you’re stupid, you probably are.



  • Closed Accounts Posts: 12,811 ✭✭✭✭Slidey


    I know her dirty dirty little secret















    Mr Quailty is actaully Flutterinbantum:eek:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 16,066 ✭✭✭✭omb0wyn5ehpij9


    Yeah i can keep a secret!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,971 ✭✭✭Holsten


    Yes, quite easily.

    How can you not keep a secret? It's a very simple thing to do.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,347 ✭✭✭RobertFoster


    I can keep secrets. No one shares any though. So maybe I don't look/act trustworthy...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,220 ✭✭✭✭Loopy


    Yes I can keep a secret but do find it quite difficult at times to keep it..


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 33,776 ✭✭✭✭Princess Consuela Bananahammock


    Yes - becaiuse I can never remember said secret in the first place...

    Generally speaking, thogh, I have no insecure need to be the centre of attention and therefore keep things back.

    Everything I don't like is either woke or fascist - possibly both - pick one.



  • Closed Accounts Posts: 13,130 ✭✭✭✭Kiera


    Yes, but only cause i'm an airhead and forget.

    I can keep one pretty well unless it's a controversial secret and i'm feeling devious.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,255 ✭✭✭anonymous_joe


    Never ever broken a trust like that. My ex confided a huge amount in me, and a few friends have too, and I'd never want to hurt them by telling people those things. Some things just have to stay private.

    People think I can't keep secrets because I'm open and I talk too much.
    But there are confidences I will take to my grave.

    Sign of weakness I always thought. If someone confides in me I simply can't rat my boss out for murdering that foreign lad that cleans the jacks in work.
