Welcome to Psychology Refresh! Today, we're going to go over the
10 Things You Should Always Keep Private In Life.
Make sure to watch each one of them so you will never speak about unnecessary things!
It's no secret that we face difficulties on a regular basis. Some we can handle on our own,
while others require us to confide in someone. When we share some of our difficulties with
certain people, we get a sense of relief. However, there are some things that we must learn to keep
private. As British author C.S. Lewis once said, "We live in a world starved for solitude, silence,
and privacy; and therefore, we are starved for meditation and true friendship." Because
no matter how much we may want to open up and share our true selves with others,
the kind of connection we crave for can only be satisfied if we respect our own privacy and be
careful about who it is we let in". That being said if you feel you can't take it any longer,
talk to someone you really trust, but usually it's better to keep quiet about it, no matter how much
you want to talk to someone about it. Here are 10 Things You Should Always Keep Private In Life!
Number 1 - Your medical information There is no reason to share your medical
information with anyone. Especially if the person is not a member of your family or a doctor.
Even doctors do not reveal your medical information to anyone, so why should you?
Surprisingly, revealing your medical information can cause you to lose friends.
Some people do not want to be friends with an HIV-positive person. But your friend doesn't
need to know that about you. He doesn't need the information for anything. Also, just because you
have it doesn't mean he will. So, unless you have a compelling reason to share such information,
such as with your spouse, quit doing so.
Number 2 - Your big plan Your big plan consists of the steps you
are willing to take to achieve your goal. There is no need to inform anyone who is not a part of the
plan. Friends and family will mostly discourage you. This could eventually catch up with you.
As a result, working in secret is the best option. It will definitely pay off someday
if you are doing something genuine, with determination and consistency.
Number 3 - Your love life This is one aspect of your life that you
should keep quiet about. There should never be a third party in your love life. When a third party
is involved, it does not always end well. Keep in mind that you are only in a relationship with one
person. So, any discussion about the relationship should be limited to that one person. If you feel
the need to end things, make that decision for yourself, not for someone else. Because
friends and family are often influential when we make decisions, it's best if you don't involve
them. This will force you to make decisions about your love life based on your heart.

Number 4 - Your income Except your accountant, there is no reason
for anyone to know your income. This is one aspect that most people keep kept secret on purpose.
In any case, it's the right thing to do. When people learn about your income, it may lead
to unnecessary spending. They might lure you to spend money you did not intend to spend.
Most of the time, your friends will not consider the fact that you need to save money out of it.
As a result, unless absolutely necessary, do not disclose your income.
Number 5 - Your family problems Sharing family problems is not only awkward,
but it is also disrespectful to your family. Your friends, no matter how close they appear to be,
should not be aware to everything that happens behind closed doors. We all have our own
craziness and point of view that distinguishes us from one another. Too much information can
sometimes create an unfavorable image, and it can cause far more trouble than you can imagine.
Number 6 - Anything Confidential
Have you ever confessed someone with a secret only to know their secret? It's never okay to betray
someone's trust in this way. As a result, it goes without saying that if someone expressly asks you
not to share something, you should not. Even if you believe it is appropriate to discuss
something with your best friend or spouse, it is not necessary to discuss everything. Especially
if it involves a third party and has nothing to do with either of you. Similarly, if you signed a
Nondisclosure agreement or were told you couldn't legally discuss something, don't tell anyone,
no matter how close they are to you. By doing so, you put all parties involved in a messy
situation. There's no turning back after that. So, if you said you'd keep something private, keep it!
Number 7 - Your belongings Showing your material goods can
easily be mistaken by others. You never know how others will take your bragging.
There are people out there who would put their lives at risk to achieve what you have.
Some don't even have access to clean water, and others can't even afford to eat.
Number 8 - Your Past Mistakes and Regrets Never share your past mistakes or regrets
with anyone. Don't tell anyone who you've had quarrel with in the past or whom you disliked.
Forget about the things that have passed. When the situation changes, the information you share
about your opponents can be used against you. Every person has made mistakes in the past, and
he must have regretted something or an incident in the past. If you don't want people to know about
some of your mistakes, keep them hidden so they don't judge and use you as an outcome of them.
Number 9 - Your Embarrassing Habits Never share your private habits or activities with
others. If someone is unaware of your bad habit, do not make the mistake of telling them about it
with your mouth. Yes, if you want to get advice from someone on how to break a bad habit, you can
share it with him thoughtfully. Furthermore, there are things you should do but don't. You
should also keep your mouth shut about them. For example, you may not brush your teeth for 2 weeks,
or you may only take a bath once a month. Trust us, people don't need to know about that.
Number 10 - Your achievements While tapping yourself in a joking manner after
accomplishing something significant in front of your friends may appear quite funny or innocent,
doing so in front of people who don't really know you will arouse feelings of indifference towards
you. Even if you did it for a good laugh, praising yourself in front of your friends, family, and
relatives does not always have a positive outcome. People can be extremely sensitive at times,
especially if they are resentful of their own life and hear about the success of others.
Remember, not everyone is capable of keeping secrets, those who are generally thought to
be more trustworthy and well-mannered are more likely to do so. When you open up about your
problems or the problems of others, it can make people feel uneasy, to say the least.
Over sharing can cause awkwardness or jealousy, as well as hurt feelings. So, in most cases,
it's best to keep the following things private if you want to avoid such pitfalls!
