Women: 5 Secrets You Should Never Tell a Friend

Let's face the truth. If you're a woman, you 6 times out of 10, you have loose lips. You don't mean to spill the beans on the people you know, but you can't help yourself. As soon as you get over a friend's house, you tell everything like an FBI agent has a gun to your head. For this reason, you need to censor what comes out of your mouth. There are 5 secrets you should never tell a friend because of the sensitive nature of the topic. If you do, there could be consequences, ones that will follow you around for a long time.

You should never tell a friend about . . .

Your taboo desires. Do you like dressing up like a chicken for kicks or watching anime wearing a warrior suit? Your taboo desires may be fun, but they aren't meant to be shared with all of your friends. Don't be naïve and think they won't throw what you do behind closed doors back in your face. One day, during an argument or for laughs, they will discuss your quirks with others. Can you spell e-m-b-a-r-r-a-s-s-m-e-n-t? Maintain your dignity and only let your spouse (of several years) in our your taboos.

Your yearly income. Regardless of what your pals says, money does matter. Merely think about the way people change when they go up or down a rung in economic status. So, unless you want to hear about how you can or cannot afford something, never divulge how much you earn. If asked, just politely decline to answer the questions.

Your criminal past. To err is human, but not necessarily in the way that takes one to jail. If you are an unfortunate gal who had to go in the "clinker" because of a misdeed, leave your mistake in the past. Your friends, especially new ones, may not understand that a person can really change after being under lock and key. Only expose yourself when you have to, like on a job application.

Your lover's expertise. Your boyfriend or husband puts the "m" back into making love. When you're together, your toes, back and neck curl. Do yourself a favor and keep your friends in the dark about this fact. Unless you want to lose - or share - your lover, don't kiss and tell. Let how good (or bad) he is in bed be between you and him.

Your best friend's secrets. Part of maturing is being able control what comes out of your mouth. Start your journey by not telling your best friends secrets. After you confide in another person, the secret will get out and spread like wild fire. Then, your relationship may unravel with the one person who cares about you in life due to a lack of trust.

More items could probably be added to this list, but these are the big 5 secrets you should never tell a friend. Your buddies don't need to know everything about you. Show some wisdom and protect your reputation with tact and discretion.
