The Sounds of Advice #71: Revealing Secrets
When should you reveal a secret you said you wouldn’t?
Sandy: Only time I feel is if that person is in danger and their life is question. Otherwise keep secrets until you die.
Sid: You should reveal a secret when someone is in immediate danger, or if someone is hurting you.
Kate: When it puts the secret holder or someone else's life at risk, especially if the person is a child.
Facebook weighs in:
If it's someone else's secret never.....because it's not mine to share.
However, if it's one of my own then it depends on who I'm sharing it with. I don't reveal any secrets unless I absolutely feel comfortable with a person or know i can trust them. There a still secrets from times in my life no one knows about and never will. -Shauna Y.
Depends on the secret and who it might hurt or not. -Jenn W.
For one, we must never divulge a secret. A promise is meant to be kept and if we don't honour our own words, we are disrespecting our own self.
Sometimes if we bring the (some general) secret in discussion, without any names, and to an altogether different circle, it might be fine, depending on the secret, the way it is presented and the people it is shared with.
Our best friend and sisters are more than often the person we share others secret to in addition to ours, out of our habits and our love and them for them. Yet when sharing others secret, we should stop and consider ( would it be fine if that was my secret?) our act before sharing. -Twinkle V.
Only if it's becoming harmful for anyone. -Marena S.
