I used to be aweful about that, if there was a lull in a conversation I'd just spill the beans so to speak. I've gotten a lot better about it lately, especially considering some of the things people have told me in confidence lately...

While I'm sure anyone skilled in the arts of "rubber hose cryptoanalysis" could get what they want, I'm generally pretty good about that sort of thing. I may or may not accept a confidence; but those I do are seen as serious business.

There is no such thing as a secret, if two people know it. That is my philosopy.

I never feel an urge to tell a secret, unless keeping that secret will cause harm to someone else.

I usually can't keep it from my gf. But if she was the one telling me. I can keep it forever :D

Other humans are simply my pawns, to be manipulated and destroyed when I see fit. When one of you decides to confide a secret in me about your personal life, it'll go in one ear and out the other as I pretend to care. So in some sense I guess I can "keep" a secret, if by that you mean not telling anyone else.

Some of what I thought I would take to the grave I've given up. Mostly for my personal growth. There are a few things that remain in the vault.

I have the ability to keep secrets and confidences without compromise.
