Almost everyone has one or more secrets. . And some will stay private.
Sometimes, it can help to tell a secret to someone.
How to react to secrets:
“I never would have guessed that; I can see why you’d keep it a secret.”
“That must have been such a heavy thing to keep inside.”
“You’re not alone, I’m here for you if you need anything.”
“Whatever happens, you’ll find a way through it. You’re stronger than you think.”
“It takes a lot of courage to open up like that, I appreciate you sharing it with me.”
“Sometimes it’s not about the mistake, but about what we learn from it, don’t you think?”
“I think it’s important to address things like that, but only when you feel ready.”
