Is keeping a secret bad for you?
There are things that we should keep to ourselves, some things that we can also share to others. I believe that keeping a secret can be good in a way but can it also be bad for us? Does it affect our mental health?

I can keep other's secrets easily. But I tell my even private things to my close friends. I can't stop myself. It is not a good thing to share everything. After a while, people use these things against you.

Passwords and PINs are interesting. I share some on the need to know principle, mainly for work related activities. Others (banking, ATM, CC and other personal ones such as Google) are strictly with me in my secure 128 bit encrypted digital vault, whose password is the only one I keep in my working memory. It's not written anywhere.

Such topics only from Florian 😊

All I can say is "it depends". First it depends on what the secret is. Some things are best kept solely to oneself. Second it depends on how dependable the other person is with whom one proposes to share something. And finally there is the need to know principle, which I follow. Briefly stated, not everyone needs to know everything, so one must make a careful assessment of who needs to know what, and proceed accordingly.
