Are you keeping a secret?

I have a very big secret of my own and a few others whom individuals have chosen to share with only me (so they say)

They’ll come to the grave with me.

Oh yes - my family will never ever know the things my late OH's illness caused him to do.

I let them keep their happy memories.

I'm good at keeping secrets. I've had a few of my own over the years, nothing earth shattering but things I am a bit ashamed of.

One big long standing one of my own

As a former care worker, I kept a lot of secrets. These days, I keep a few secrets. I don't like gossip.

I have one at the moment but in my past I have been the recipient of many. All told to me in the confines of my treatment room.
I never divulged any of them and wouldn’t now even though some of the subjects are dead.

I don't share my own secrets and I wouldn't share anyone else's.

Yes - I have one or two secrets of my own ……..

Yes. Ive got things in my head I've never told another soul ! If someone tells me something in secret I do out of respect and friendship always keep it to myself. Sometimes it is tempting to tell someone else but I never have and hope its the same vice versa with friends 🧡

I have kept secrets for years but forgotten some of them I’m sure. Most of the people who swore me to secrecy are now dead or have not been in contact with me for years.

As an ex NHS employee I hold a lot of secrets. Confidentiality is vital.

I heard last week of the death of a lady in our village, and remembered that I knew about something that had happened to her years ago that she would have wanted kept secret. Nothing earth shattering, but it would probably have been a good piece of gossip! I realised that I have never told a soul.
Apart from family stuff, are you keeping someone’s secret, or how good are you at keeping them?
