Have you always been that was or did some kind of betrayal cause you to become silent?
For me it was one particular event. My pastors wife saw that I was very sad and asked me about something and I discussed it with her. It was a very painful thing in my life involving my dh. I had every confidence that I was talking to someone actually interested in me. One week later my problem was common knowledge at church. I had ONLY talked to her about it so I knew what had happened. From that point on I tell no one anything of great importance. And never anything that I wouldn't want talked about.
How about you. Are you silent by nature or because of some event in your life? |

Just by nature, I've always been quiet and extremely shy, so I like to keep things to myself.

mztfied I'm sorry that happened to you. The Pastor's wife should have known better and behaved better.

No, nothing happened, I'm just that way inclined. I find 'pity' (not quite the right word) difficult to handle.

It wasn't from betrayal. I had 2 friends I once felt comfortable sharing everything with; one died and the other is having serious issues (she doesn't want to fix).
I don't care at this point to have someone IRL to share problems with.

I think it's mostly my nature.

Just by nature, I've always been quiet and extremely shy, so I like to keep things to myself. Same with me. I'm quiet/introverted and shy naturally so it takes me a little while to open to people. A few times I have opened up it has backfired and everyone knew whatever it was. I've learned to now just keep my mouth shut. It sucks sometimes though. |

I grew up in a house where my family didn't give a darn about anything related to me. Then I had several friends turn their back on me. This pattern has pretty much continued for most of my life. So I've become quite guarded about opening myself up to anyone. |

Not silent at all, but only have a few that I confide in or if it is really personal, just my hubby.

I've learned to share less and less over the years.
