I used to feel that ...Secrets ARE tough for women. I used to feel that secrets were like bombs ... they were just inevitably gonna blow up.<br /><br />I have come to a point (this is a God-given gift, NOT something I can do on my own) where I no longer feel compelled to pass along the secrets of others (for the most part) - and even those that I feel compelled to share, I am able to share with Him (my God) so that I needn't spew it all over where it doesn't belong.<br /><br />However, like scion - I have an aversion to lying when pressed for the truth. I have learned to say, "I'm not free to share that information." which might (in some cases) result in a "spilling of the beans" to a certain extent.<br /><br />Secrets are tough.<br /><br />I favor transparency in my own life ... secrets have really only led me into self-imposed bondage.Kris Ann K.

I'm usually good with secrets, but have absolutely no "poker face". If directly confronted I feel a push to divulge the truth and struggle to find a way to answer w/o spillin' the beans or lying.<br />I think though, that sometimes when women(or girls) share a secret it gives them a feeling of closeness with the other person.<br />I don't think men struggle much with the second one in that way, their primary need for closeness is more physical than emotional...at least most men that I have known. Maybe it has to do some with how our brains work and the times when we have a harder time -not thinking- about things. Ok...I'll stop rambling my thoughts out here. : )scionprogenyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16215455242471777513noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4107804736984610957.post-3171420773422687272010-03-02T18:54:16.289-04:302010-03-02T18:54:16.289-04:30HAHA...I totally agree.

So I think now that I have made it well past the 47 hour mark I can hold it in for the rest of my life. hahaha.

I do think men can keep secrets much easier than women. Women tend to be looser in the lips!Penniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04563967415448986218noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4107804736984610957.post-34657886000685503392010-03-02T03:04:49.583-04:302010-03-02T03:04:49.583-04:30I am horrible with secrets, so I will give you tha...I am horrible with secrets, so I will give you that one! I once even told a girl about the surprise party I had been planning for her, because I just couldn't stand keeping it from her! So bad... And I don't know what happened, but somehow I wasn't following you anymore. I am following again now! I saw your email tonight and thought "it has been so long since I saw a new post of hers!"S.I.F.https://www.blogger.com/profile/15037271343194689612noreply@blogger.com
