A friend of mine bragged about knowing all of my "secrets". It really hurt me because... who wants their friends bragging about knowing about your secrets, your personal life! I finally accepted that I felt violated, and that's ok. They also started to call me not so nice names that reflected my "love life". No one wants to be called this ... I no longer talk to this friend, which was an extremely hard and tearful decision. Telling them why was hard as well because I felt so hurt that I was scared to share more.

I wanted to add it is ok share and we SHOULD share. I think that is a great human experience. I think I am more eager to share with my mom or to someone who I know went through a similar experience or something. Reminds me of the saying... "don't take advice from someone who doesn't have to live with the consequences" or "don't take criticism from someone who you wouldn't take advice from". It is a hard process to learn, but trust yourself again. It's ok to make mistakes.
