    Default Keeping secrets within relationships

    I find it nearly impossible to keep secrets. Its just who I am. I am not a secretive person.

    When I have a problem in a relationship, I tell my closest friends... I happen to have at least 5 best friends at all times...

    If there is a secret that is unflattering to my SO, I won't tell anyone about it unless they're like an E5 LII or something that lives in a hole by themself.

    But often times my friends will usually be kept in the loop of a lot of different things.

    So, what are your views on this? Is it unreasonable to expect your SO's friends to not know everything about you? Do you think this is type related?

    my behavior has been different in different relationships. i guess it depends on the problem, if i'm just angry or sad and i know exactly why and it's clear-cut, then i don't feel the need to talk to anybody about it because there's really nothing that needs to be resolved in my mind. but if i'm confused and feel like i'm lacking perspective then i really need to talk about it with other people. and if i don't, it can make the problem a lot worse because of accumulated overthinking and angst. i can understand not wanting your partner to talk about private things, though. i've gotten really angry when i've been told, "well i told so-and-so what you told me and SHE said that you were wrong..." like that actually means something. i suppose ideally the communication would be good enough that there wouldn't be a need to talk to other people in order to gather advice or perspective. the men i've dated have generally been very private. i got snapped at once for mentioning that i told somebody at work my ex's name (he said he was joking? but i think he was half joking?) i've noticed that secrecy stuff in fe polrs but it could just be coincidence, its not like i have a huge sample size.

    I think I would agree when it comes to who you're talking to.

    I'm constantly looking to align the real with the ideal.I've been more oriented toward being overly idealistic by expecting the real to match the ideal. My thinking side is dominent. The result is that sometimes I can be overly impersonal or self-centered in my approach, not being understanding of others in the process and simply thinking "you should do this" or "everyone should follor this rule"..."regardless of how they feel or where they're coming from"which just isn't a good attitude to have. It is a way, though, to give oneself an artificial sense of self-justification. LSE

    I've gotten trouble with people before for talking about their weaknesses in stories. When I become an author I become God, because writing is my superhero and I sorta have to keep my own narcissism in check.

    The way to handle me is that you have to tell me if something is going to hurt your feelings or not because I can be sorta bad at that and only focused on my own pain. I might think it's something you have to toughen up about (usually about homosexuality since that is my superpower) but maybe that's just me being an asshole.

    Oh well. It's my teeth and I'm going to use it when necessary but I don't want to hurt people I care about with it.

    i have this vantage point where we all can talk about our secrets/emotional issues honestly and nobody gets hurt bullied for it but that's just unrealistic. i wish we live in a world we could be honest about that 24/7 though but that just creates a narcissist ruler who takes advantage over everybody. i have the perception of love, of weaknesses being protected.

    It's completely unreasonable to have someone tell you something in confidence and go blabber it all over the world. Are you six? Why do you feel the need to tell? Just to get attention? Hehe. I know a secret. Incredibly immature.

    I don't obsess over what you're thinking nor feeling, I don't hang over your shoulder, breathing on your back going "Tell me, tell me. What's going on. I must know. Panic", no. You have something important to tell me, open your mouth. As for revealing personal stuff to other people, I'm quite discerning whom I talk to even though I know quite the amount of people, so out of your five best friends it would be one for me. Not into blabbermouths much.

    In relationship I'm quite open so I don't really see the need to just go and talk about what I do, what did I say, how I said it to other people, none of their business. It's a close relationship between two people I take it, like, girlfriend-boyfriend, etc., that share something with themselves on an intimate level, so you're going to have to differentiate between a relationship consisting of you and your five best friends, and the one consisting of you and your significant other.

    Choice is yours...

Just say what you're doing or feeling; my mother says "just tell them something else." Are you kidding mom? No. I don't want to go because I want to relax; I've worked hard all week and not going to make an excuse that I feel so great. "But they'll find it offensive." Too bad, let them grow up and face reality because it's an obvious fact of reality that people get tired. "Just tell them you have to go somewhere else." She plays politics all the time, differ, buffer, steer, move, detract. It's all silly ridiculous untruthful lies.

    This is why she loves me so god damn much, because she knows that while she can do this stuff with ease, I can't for the life of me so she trusts me. LOL

    example?

    uhum...."that's a good idea!" instead of "no" or "yes" as a lie, because it is a good idea, and it doesn't say that you will commit

Keep talking about yourself though - for I see you're addressing me with your real name here - one post after another of pure and distilled bollocks you brand as "serious posts", which I have a really hard time to not to read. Oh, I think you're activity when it comes to DJA.

    Continue nagging and I'm sure every person you "communicate" with is going to have the same "flaws" you ascribe to them. You're like an 50 year old wife. Answer the question, Jadae.

    Well, you often accuse people of not reading what you wrote and use it as some kind of a suppression tool aimed at broader audience, at the same time screaming and yelling against "censorship", so they can murder that "like" and "constructive" function when it comes to your opponent (providing you want to see me as one, I can deal with you blindfolded), in other words, so they can form an opinion they do not have at all through your actions which are, simply, immature and lacking forethought at best. I know it is futile to expect any kind of responsibility from you and your pathetic, and weaselish attempts at trying to beat me at your own game, are going to remain pathetic, that is, not sincere. You're a fake.

    Question is not whether there is/isn't a question in first paragraph, question is, whether there is/was a question at all? And yes, I think there was, it's black on white, you just chose not to answer. You're game is way too transparent for me, and I just can't fight the temptation to muddle your head a bit, so you can come to any kind of erroneous conclusions, and I can sit back, relax, and smile while you use what you call a brain.

    Youre not fun today. See you later.

    You're LSE like Jadae as well? No offence, try ILI/LIE, there's not many of them on this site and Gamma quadra is underrepresented.

    See what I mean?

    You're not much of challenge and I don't want to compete with you over "who can potty best", told you before, I'm too old for that. You don't even have the decency to admit what you're doing.

    http://samvak.tripod.com/narcissistblameguilt.html

    To put it more plainly, the (average) narcissist is unable to answer the question: "Why did you do what you did?" or "Why did you choose this mode of action over others available to you under the same circumstances?" These decisions are taken unconsciously.

    I dont care what you mean. Leave me alone, dont reply to me, and go be weird to someone else.
    First off you replied in this very thread and quoted me with your fine-tuned gibberish of a post and continue.

    Most of the time the narcissist is not even conscious of why he is doing what he is doing. When he is self-aware – he can't seem to be able to predict the outcomes of his actions. Even when he can foretell them – he feels powerless to modify his behavior. The narcissist is a pawn in the chess game played between the structures of his fragmented, fluid personality. So, in a classical – juridical sense, the narcissist is not to blame, he is not fully responsible or aware of what he is doing to others.

    The relationship between Jadae and Absurd has no secrets.

    The only thing worse than not being able to keep secrets is deceiving people that you are, while [not] doing it.
