Cant keep a secret

LegacyUser

Hi guys, long time poster, first time unregged.

I have a problem... I cant keep secrets. No matter whats been told to me, I have to blurt it out to someone else. People have learned not to tell me secrets anyway!

But... now theres a problem. I'm currently seeing a woman whom I cannot tell anyone due to certain circumstances (an ex to be precise, they live together and such). My mouth has already leaked it to someone, which I feel really bad about, and my urges tempt me to keep on doing so.... any ideas?

think about what will happen if it gets back to your ex that you are seeing this girl?! if ur ex still has feelings for you then it will obviously hurt her. think of her and how it will hurt her. that might help you to keep quiet.

learn hoiw to be more trustworthy and keep ur mouth shut! And if she is living with someone its best to not see her. Find someone who's unattached

You sow what you reap and could keep your mouth shut if you wanted. My guess is you want to info to get back to your ex but don't want to take responsibility.

Not very nice IMHO.

Judging by your smiley face in your post, this is a tiny bit amusing to you, but probably isn't to the people who's secrets you're blabbing. How does it feel to have people thinking of telling you something, then thinking to themselves 'I can't tell this guy anything, he's so untrustworthy'. To me, that would be horrible, and in itself would stop be blabbing. Think about how others perceive you before you start talking next time, and think of something more interesting to tell them instead of other peoples business.

Usually, a person that cant keep secrets learns a very tough lesson down the line, that will help them keep their mouth closed in future. And it will be ONLY when that happens... I just hope its not from someone alot bigger than you

I had a friend who could not keep a secret - couldn't keep my secrets anyway. I just cut contact with him. I think being unable to keep secrets shows, at best, a compulsion. At worst, it shows a lack of character and empathy.

He's now what I'd call "a contemporary".
