I'll keep you my dirty little secret

[intothebassment]

What do you do when you can't even tell your best friend your deepest, darkest secret? Or your secret fear?

if you can't tell, then it's not much of a friend you have.

Find someone else I have less stake in to tell. Is that crazy?

I like O's solution, although Abyss also has a good point. Personally, I've been known to communicate my secrets publicly via the internet, so I'm probably not much help. Sometimes when I want to talk about something difficult to someone and am not sure how they'll react, I approach it in stages. I also find that writing in my journal really helps me to focus my thoughts, which makes it a little easier for me to keep my cool when I'm talking about whatever it is.

If you cant tell them then they are not your best friend...thats just my opinion. Unless its just your own fear in the way and not really that they will have some sort of adverse reaction to you. Or maybe you just out it out there on the internet like here. Its personal enough but not very, and you never have to see any of us unless you chose too. This is always a bit more annamous and hence feels safer in some small way. Hope you figure it out!
