If you don't want it publicly revealed, never tell anyone.

This. And you know there are people you trust very strongly with secrets, but you never know under what circumstances they might reveal it to someone else.

I learned from a very young age to keep information to myself because my mother is incapable of keeping secrets to the point of defiance. Nothing I or my siblings told her was kept secret, we all knew about each others' business in short order. She has always insisted this is a good thing and secrets are bad (and yes, she has no secrets either...), but I know now in hindsight why this was an awful policy.

So some of us learned to never say anything.

Silence is golden. Besides, sharing secrets is very intimate.

That's quite a presumptive statement. Was I speaking from personal experience? There's no way for you to know!

Tbh I wish I played real life like I do with RPGs with variable endings based on your decisions and conversations with npcs

My life would have gone a lot better if i had Skyrim-options of communication. I realize naturally I would antagonize. But in the game, friendliness was the obvious choice.
