Have you ever noticed this weird thing about telling someone a secret?
I feel like there are two types of people you can tell something really personal to.
There’s the person you know will take it to the grave. You can trust them completely not to tell anyone… but somehow they’re often not the person who will give you the emotional support you actually need.
And then there’s the person who will listen to you, understand exactly how you feel, comfort you, say all the right things and make you feel so much better. But there’s also a pretty good chance that by next week three other people somehow know about it.
Obviously this isn’t true for everyone, but I’ve noticed this pattern more than once and now I’m wondering if other people have too.
Have you ever experienced this? Like somehow the best secret keepers and the best emotional support people are rarely the same person?
