How can I deal with a bad secret..?

you dont want to shock your sister the same way her secret shocked you. try dropping heavy hints for a few days.. mention a "freind" at work who had an abortion and what you thought about it (say that u thought it wasnt a bad idea dont say u hated the idea). drop a few hints like this and she may get the feeling you know and may own up to you. if she doesnt, try taking her out to dinner and talk about what's bothering you and be supportive of her decison.

this may sound stupid, but it works. get a empty bottle, and talk to it pretending all your secrets are poured like water into the bottle, finally you can cap it... so you feel that you have talked about the secrets with "sb"..... try it...

Well if they are true friends and still be your friends, then nothing to worry about. Otherwise, it may be hard to tell them. It is always hard to tell a secret but if you really want to tell, then do it. And be proud of it. \nReally, I wish I can help you out. Still, good luck with telling your friends!! I am cheering you on! :D I support ya. Hope they will stay friends with ya. Good luck.

just be careful what you say to him from now on...it doesn't mean you have to terminate the friendship...now you know that you can't trust him with certain data...\nwhen my best friend told stuff about me, i just decided that the only info i'd tell that person would be stuff i don't care if the whole world knows...i'd never tell my secrets to that person again, but we can still have fun and joke around...\npeople aren't perfect and you'll never find a friend who hasn't blabbed something about you to someone else, whether their loved one or parents or another friend or whatever...so if other than not being able to keep his trap shut, he's a pretty good friend, then just don't tell him sacred stuff...but you'll be disappointed if you try to look for friends who'll never leak your secrets...you'll never have any...just learn who you can trust with what...

What is the purpose for telling the secret?  Most of mine are of stuff other people have asked me to take to the grave and barring further instructions I intend to do so.  I will not break my word to one friend for another, unless something really bad is going down.  If it is something that serves no purpose other than a desire of someone to "know" something, then I would obviously just say, "look, I'm sorry, there are things I JUST can't talk to you about."  But if it were the case of my friend going through some trying time and knowing that I went through something similar or just even something bad so that I could speak out of sympathy or just give them a frame of reference I would do so, even if it meant explaining what I mean by Barrymore-Arquette syndrome.

Take the high road each and every time.  If you succumb to these rumors, you will have lost already.  If you come across someone who's acting weird or evasive probably because of these rumors, ask them straight out and persuade them to talk about it ("perhaps you've heard something about me?...) in a non-confrontational manner.  Tell them that you would be more than happy to clear it up and would entertain their queries which you would appreciate because it's something that you could respond to having been said to your face. If you know who started the rumors, you can do this same tactic also.  This usually makes them apologetic because they can't take full frontal frankness.

by not explaining yourself.  \n\nSeriously, too much explanation about an issue makes one sound extremely insincere.\n\nNow that I've said that, I'll say this.  The best way to clear up bad publicity is to not make the same mistake twice and try to promot honesty and integrity.  You may not be able to turn people around that have already heard the "scandal" but you will create a new and better customer base with your new policies.

might sound like the easy way out, but make stuff up.   Or you tell them it's none of their business.  Or you can just be very vague and not get into details.   good luck.

Tell her just like you told us.....  I like to leave the light on because.....  We do have some expectations of privacy....  It's always best to be honest and straightforward.  Do not tap dance around the issues.  Just be pleasant and respectful and hopefully she will understand.
