Well, I am not a psychotherapist, but I think any sort of secrets can be buried in our subconscious, hidden from view, craete a sort of mental illness, from lack of confidence to addictions and many other things.

Of course, most of us, if we’re lucky, grow up in loving families, so if we share our secrets with our family members, I think it is nice and we can keep them hidden from others, and this way I believe there will remain no serious long-term consequences for our mental health.
