....and I hate it when people don't recognize an actual serious secret vs. something cute that might make good gossip.
I have very few people in my circle who know about my unconventional bedroom habits. The few people who do know have engaged in similar activity so they're usually safe to tell stuff to. Honestly, secrets rot the soul so it's fun to tell people things sometimes. What I keep forgetting is that my circle doesn't necessarily mean ONLY my circle. There are people who know people who know people. The circle extends far beyond what I'm familiar with. And I don't know those people.
I told something juicy to someone in my circle and followed it up with, "Dude, it's really important that you don't tell people this. I'm telling you because we're both familiar with him but DO NOT say anything because he's private and doesn't want this getting out."
Of course they'd never tell, right? 🙄
One of the FIRST things that comes out of his mouth after I meet one of his friends is,"By the way, [X] knows that we slept together."
--Okay, I'm embarrassed but I'll let that slide--
... followed by, "And [my name] has a thing going on with [THE TRADE SECRET]."
HOLY SHIT DUDE I DON'T KNOW THIS PERSON AND NEVER WOULD HAVE TOLD HIM THAT. WHAT THE HELL?!!
I was mortified and betrayed. Never tell anybody your secrets. If you have to tell somebody, tell a friend who lives out of state who doesn't know anyone in your circle. Like, pick a different planet. Tell ANYBODY but a mutual friend, JFC.
To make it worse, now I'm worried because that THAT IDIOT just ran into my Trade Secret and I just KNOW he had to mention my name.
As a matter of fact, I'm going to text him right now and straighten this out. Fml.
