I don't think so. But it isn't because I blab the secrets. I always believe that when people tell me something and say "please don't tell anyone" it us because they want to tell others themselves rather than it being a "real" secret. More like gossip, which is different, I guess, even when it is about yourself. My most awkward moments are when I've been told what I thought was a trusted confidence and then a mutual friend will tell me about what I thought was secret and ask, "did you know that?" I feel kind of set up. Recently I've decided to stop people when they ask if they can tell me something confidential. I've decided I just don't want to know.
SMITH Magazine brings you an entirely new kind of six-word experience: Six-Word Questions. This is the place to pose a question to the SMITH community from, "What are your favorite Six-Word quotations" to challenging members to pen Six-Word Obituaries to the recently departed to Six-Word jokes and any other Six-Word question you can dream up. You can even request that the responses be in six words. Everyone has a question—what's yours?

Yes, I hold secrets... especially those that belong to others and are not mine to share.marymc says,
I have one that was told to me years ago by my ex-mother-in-law. She didn't want me telling her son. Why she told me, I will never know.ErikaStellar says,
Probably. People tell me secrets because they know I will forget them before I have a chance to tell them.Dragonflower says,
