Question guys, girls, they, them etc I've always been there to listen to family and friend problems, I don't judge or comment just listen, if it seems they want or are seeking advice I will give it but always say it's only my opinion and not the answer. The only person with the answer is yourself. What I'm told, what is discussed is 100% between us. My question is why can I not find someone willing to give me the same safety and security when being open, I can tell a family member my inner most thoughts, open up and within hours it's openly discussed. I guess I'm asking for someone I can vent to, someone I can say how I'm feeling knowing that once I've said it it's not going to become common knowledge. Where/how do you find that trust guys? Sorry it's not a sexual question, I'd would really appreciate your open comments

I honestly don't know.

I'm lucky I have a partner who I know won't tell anybody else anything I tell him and vice versa.

Maybe try and identify one friend or family member who'll keep your confidence.

You could try someone who isn't allowed to talk about what you have told them such as a therapist or - depending on your views - a priest of some type.

Boundaries. Find someone with enough respect to understand them, and enough empathy to actually put them into action.

Get yourself a dog. They listen intently, don’t talk behind your back and usually help you find the right answer eventually.

Can you imagine the looks a dog would give back

But seriously it sounds like you're there for you family but they are not so much there for you ?

No. But also yes.

Op. I tell a very close mate some things. And I e no problems trusting him. (I assume he may have filtered and shared minor details with his wife)

Would I tell my family? Hell no. I tell mine to not tell ne stuff when they start ‘I shouldn’t tell you this, but!” .. a good friend is hard to find.

Its a relief its not a sexual question so don't apologise and trust between two people has to be earnt obviously you can tell a stranger and not care about it, so you could tell us

I dont share much not the deeper stuff because people don't really give a shit.

I find them ultimately unreliable and only interested in what I can do for them. People rarely listen anyway only looking to respond. Active listening skills are a rare thing indeed.
