10 Things You Should Keep To Yourself

Some things are better left unsaid. This saying could not be more true when it comes to keeping our secrets. While being open is a good virtue as people like genuine feeling coming from being an open book, there are some things you should keep to yourself.
You share something with anyone, even someone you trust, which means you've lost control of it. The person you trust today may not be someone you trust in the future. The one thing he didn't say that he should have is, "Don't tell people how smart you are, how tough you are, or how good you are at something." It's best when they find out for themselves.

 10 things you should keep to yourself. 

1. You should not share openly one of the favors you did. A  proverb says that the most sincere act is the one unheard. Most people who genuinely want to help others, will not think about searching for acknowledgment from the favors they did. It is important for someone not to look conceited by bragging of all the favors he or she did in the past. It is better to promote others' kindness than to deal with your own. All the favors you did should remain unconditional.

2. Your weakness. It is about exposing your weakness vulnerability is fine to some extent. In fact, it helps those who are vulnerable to seek support still exposing your flaws and weaknesses can be a deadly weapon to tell you the truth. Some people who do not want to have good things around you will make fun of your weakness. That is why it's better for only a few people to know without flaw or weakness moreover. The simple things you keep yourself help maintain power.

3. The secrets of others.

Another thing that you should never tell is other people's secrets. They call it a secret for a reason. Most of the time people share their secrets with their close friends or family. Sometimes the secret is something out of the ordinary and we're not allowed to share it without consent. As a friend, we should be aware of it and never cross the rule just because we were so curious about it. Furthermore, you need to be more careful when you share a secret with someone because you can never know what will happen in the future.

4. Inner conflict in the family.

The thing that you shouldn't tell others about is inner conflict within the family. Sometimes whenever there's conflict in a family it is unbearable and you want to share it with others for support. However, not everyone is going to understand the situation. Some of them may even take advantage of it by adding salt to the wound in the rumor. You can always share everything with your closest friends or with professional help.

5.  A private moment with loved ones. 

Some moments are just too precious that we could not forget about them and things we should keep in our mind still. Social media makes us want to share everything even if it's a very private moment with our loved ones. It was never wrong to share a happy moment with others but an exclusive moment should be exclusive to you and your loved ones to make it special. If you have one to share publicly make sure you ask the person that's involved never make an important moment instantly public. 

6. Your upcoming goals.

The next thing you shouldn't tell others is your upcoming goals. There is research that suggests the connection between having a goal and telling others about it the result is people tend to not execute the plan or have it bad whenever they tell others about it. Thus it feels like we have achieved everything when in reality it is just the plan. You haven't executed yet.

It is better to think of 

your goals as things you should keep to yourself.

7. Your faith and belief. 

Faith and belief have been something really personal and sensitive to others. The reason is that there are so many conflicts that use religion as a mask for a riot or terrorism not telling others about your faith and beliefs does not mean that you have to shut up about them all the time. The reason is that some people cannot respect other people's beliefs and they could get to the extent of destroying the lives of people whom they think.

8. Your past relationships. Are you in a relationship right now if yes it's better to make the past with your ex one of those things you should keep to yourself? Why do we need to hide it even if it's harmless? The simple reason is that it can trigger unpleasant feelings in your current spouse. He or she may think you're not over your ex and secretly want them back. To avoid making your current lover upset never tell your ex about him or her.

9. Your financial status. The next

thing you should never share publicly is your financial status. Either you are struggling or experiencing a fortune it is more likely that people will react negatively thus keeping it among things you should keep to yourself is better. When you struggle not everyone will empathize with you and when you achieve a fortune not everyone is going to be happy about it. You may want to make a donation or to ask people for a loan nonetheless, you should only tell it to people you trust.

10. Your precious belongings. The last thing 

you should keep to yourself is your precious belongings whether it's your own fortune or something in the family for years. It is still a precious belonging. You should cherish it on your own. If people don't take care of their belongings well it will end up being the bigger mess. Some people can also feel jealous and resent you for it. There are also cases where people will take advantage and try to steal it from you.
