Secrets
how good are you at keeping them if they are entrusted to you?

Recently I accidentally let slip that I knew that a mate of mine was seeing a girl who is the ex of a mate of his when it wasn't supposed to be common knowledge. In my defence I hadn't realised how serious they were, and everyone there already knew.

I think there are some people I tell everything to though but it doesn't count if they've awesome and you say "don't tell anyone but..."

when I spilt the beans on the one above
I had just thought they had been out for dinner rather than were actually dating. Was in the pub and started to ask "so how did his date go?". In hindsight the looks on faces and the fact that my mrs was poking me in the ribs should have been a hint that I wasn't supposed to be mentioning it....

if it's an ex of a mate, you probably shouldn't ever mention it in public until they're seen together in publice

completely depends on whose secret it is
i am pretty open about myself, have relatively few secrets, but if i did need to keep something quiet, i would do.

if it involves or is about someone else, it completely depends on how much i like them. if it's someone i like and respect, i'll keep it 100% quiet. if it's someone i have a low opinion of, i won't feel any loyalty whatsoever.

Here's something that has always confused me.
I'm great at keeping secrets if they don't involve me, so like when BGB told me Al was an impressive 4 inches, then I wouldn't tell a soul.

But if it involves me, like for example the time Kristy and I made out behind the bike sheds, and I wanted advice on the rash I've gotten. I wouldn't tell anyone in public, but I would tell quite a few people one-on-one.... but is that breaking a secret? I donno.

Mostly, I find the best way to keep secrets is to half forget them.
So I never waste any time thinking about them, but can remember when I speak to the relevant person. I've got one secret that could ruin a marriage, but sadly that's one I can't forget too easily.

As a result, I never feel the need to gossip about them, so I'm pretty good at keeping secrets.

I have to let loose from time to time, and I've got 2 people for that, who'd never have a clue who anyone I'm talking about is anyway.

EDIT: Although, I am thoroughly ashamed of one thing I've blurted out before. It's not really a secret, just not really common knowledge, if you get what I mean?

My mate phoned me and said "Did you know X and X had got engaged?"
I said "Yes, but I only found out two days ago."
She said "Ah but did you know they've been going out for ages?"
I answered in the affirmative.
"But why didn't you tell me??"
So I told her it's because I try to have a little bit of integrity and that she would not have been able to keep it to herself and I know this to be true because she's told everyone every secret she's ever been asked to keep.
"Fair enough", she said

Depends
My integrity is constantly at war with my inner gossipy bitch. I do tend to keep secrets quite well though, even if I'm itching to tell someone.
If it's a 'I have to tell someone or I'll explode' type of secret I'll compromise by discussing it with someone else who doesn't know any of the others involved so that it has no way of getting back to them, and thus the inner bitch is soothed until another day.
