Friends Should Never Hide Anything From Each Other

Would I tell everything to my friends? I really wonder. I respect and love my friends , especially my best friend but would I tell all my secret to him? Sure, on many occasion I would indulge in pouring out my miseries to him but – yes , there is still a but! We all need friends to be with , to laugh with and to share our dreams with. Few of us can live without friends. Our lives will surely be empty without them. It is so nice to able to ring a friend to chat with or to visit. Friends lend interest and give dimension to our lives. They make us feel good and help us to go through some dark days of our lives in a better frame. I really appreciate the role friends play. But there are some areas of our lives that are quiet private. If at some point we are tempted to talk about these areas to our friends , we might find that there is a stress on that friendship. It is only one special friend who might be able to deal with the burden of that secret sensitively, who might actually keep quiet and not spread it to the whole world. It is therefore a big chance we are taking when we choose to tell everything to our friends. Too many friends might not appreciate the value of what we have told them and might carelessly tell it to others. When there is a breach of trust , as in the case of a friend who decides to tell your secret to someone else you might feel betrayed. You will wonder if you should have told that secret in the first place. It is true that a problem shared is a problem halved. But on the other hand , one should take a good , objective look at the friends around us before we decide to tell them everything. It is said that one can only have one or two good friends in a lifetime. Perhaps we should bear that in mind when we are deciding who our real friends are. It will be quiet foolish to think that everyone who says ‘hello’ to us is our friend. It will also be quiet unwise to put all our friends on an

    Keeping secrets can cause a lot of problems between best friends. By sharing your secrets you are reducing your guilt that you have. It’s like taking a load off of your shoulders, by keeping the secret you tend to distance yourself to protect your secret. The guilt will probably become too much to handle if the secret harms your best friend. If the secret might cause harm to your best friend you’re going to hold it in to protect them, but letting it out and apologizing is much better. If the secrets is found out through another source than the response may be altered and there could be more repercussions. Holding in secrets is one of the quickest ways to lose the person closest to you.…

    The old children’s song says, “Sharing means caring, and caring means sharing.” Close friends share with one another. A long time ago, my friend forgot her lunch for school; I immediately offered to share my food with her. Soon after, my friend forgot her money for dinner, and again, I offered to share my money with her. Moreover, intimate friends share secrets. Just like with honesty, friends should not keep secrets from one another. My friends and I never feel pushed or reluctant to pour out our hearts and share our true feelings. As a result, friends will always lend a helping hand by sharing.…

    The first quality of being a good friend, is you need to be loyal to your other friends. A loyal person never spreads rumors about his/her friend. If you told your friend your secret and you told him/her to not tell anyone, they will not tell his/her own friends about your secret. One day, you might make a promise to one of your friends and say that you and you friend will not break that promise. A loyal person doesn't talk any negative things about you or anything that might hurt your feelings. For example, in the story they promised to each other that they will box like they have never seen each other before. If you always talk about bad things about your friend with other people you know, you are not a good friend. Eventually your friend will know that you are talking about them and they will most likely not want to be your friends anymore. It is very unlikely that they will…

    Confidence is very important to establish in a friendship. Confessing something is difficult but when you have someone important who can listen to you and give you some advice is great. I think most women tend to criticize you or be more gossipy with what you tell them. On the other hand, men are more reliable with your secrets and most of the time listen to you without criticizing.…

    Second, it helps me feel better to tell my thoughts of my friend’s behavior because telling the truth is more beneficial for our steady relationship. Even though telling downside of my friend is unpleasant for the time being, our friendship will be stronger and more stable in the future. Using my personal experience as an example, I have the best friend in Korea whom I keep in touch with even though I am in United States now. We met each other in freshman year. He is outgoing and sociable, so he really enjoys meeting a new girl for fun. Since I really worried about my friend’s unserious relationships with several girls, I advised him about his dating. At first, he was so angry with me at first, but we become best friend now after he realized my truth. Therefore, I believe that telling a friend to correct bad behaviors helps me to make the friendship stronger.…

    Always be honest, even if it means standing alone. You may also lose friends too when you are honest, and that is an indication that they weren’t your true friends to begin with. I believe in Karma, and karma bites back ever so strongly when you are not telling the truth, and when you hide something from friends and family, when you do something terrible to someone. It always bites back and more powerful. I am sure everyone in life has told a lie here or there, and I know nobody is perfect. Sometimes we lie to others to make others feel good, sometimes we fib, and make up white lies, but nothing beats honesty. If you are afraid of hurting someones feelings, don’t be. I would rather have an honest enemy telling me the truth to my face, then a fake friend who doesn’t speak up and who doesn’t tell me the truth and says terrible things behind my back. Sometimes the truth hurts and we must always be prepared for it. I would rather be hurt, then be lied to. Being lied to is far more worse than anything else in this world.…

    When it comes to whether it is possible to be completely honest to your friends, this is the question that has been testing the moral and ethical standing of individuals and communities, and has incurs serious thought-provoking debates. There are some people who may argue that honesty is one of the most important characteristics of the friendship, and therefore, people should be completely honest to their friends; while others hold a totally opposite point of view, believing that honesty is not always the best policy. as far as i am concerned, i would prefer to endorse the second point.…

    I think the reason why honesty is important because u build that strong connection with them that u can’t let go of. For example look at me and my best friend we have this close relationship between us. Like we tell each other everything that we have on our chest about one another or about people that annoy us. We still know it until this exact day even though she is not going to be out here for our senior but she will always be remembered. My best friend and myself we keep a close friendship no matter what it is.…
