I can't tell my friends everything...

[lovlybones]

I hate that I have to kind of filter what I say to some of my friends be it because of their religion or because I am afraid of getting judged by them. I just wish I had someone that I could tell everything to, all of my stupid random things and my depest darkest secrets. Its like I have to categorize my thoughts for the person I'm talking to that day.

Does anyone else have this feeling? or have someone that they can tell every single thing to that isn't a boyfriend/girlfriend/SO?

Yeah, I know how you feel. I have "friends" like that. I put friends in quotes because I'm not really all that close to most of them. I have always been pretty close to my husband, even before we started dating, and I do have another friend of mine who I feel comfortable telling most stuff to. Honestly, she's closer to me than my mom. My mom is very opinionated and has a lot of different opinions and beliefs than I do on stuff like gay marriage and religion, so I've learned to be pretty conservative when I talk with her. It sucks, but at least I have my husband and my best friend. Hopefully you will find someone someday, sadly people who you can truly trust are few and fare between.

I did but he moved to North Carolina.....:cries:

The only person I can tell everything to, isn't my SO. In fact, I think he'd be horrified if I told him everything that went through my mind. I censor myself for his sake, for my family, my coworkers, most of my friends. Because, if I forget that filter for even a moment or two, I offend people. Even people I think shouldn't be.
I have one friend I can tell everything to, and vice versa. I think everyone finds one person they can do that with, but most of the world will never be that way.

I have a couple of friends that I can tell everything too. But others, I have to filter what I have to say

My love muffin has heard all of my secrets and still loves me. She's obviously deeply disturbed, but I love her anyway.
Seriously, there are a couple of things that would get me ostracized even here.

I have a few secrets that I've never told anyone, even my best friend.

Now, my most recent ex knows EVERYTHING. We were *that* close. I'm not worried, though - because as badly as things ended, I know he'd never throw me under the bus. And vice-versa - me with *his* secrets.

I know what you mean about watching what you say, though. I sometimes feel like my life is so compartmentalized. Like I have to watch what I say around *this* person but not *that* person. Or, I can't be open and honest about *this* topic with *that* person.

It does get old sometimes, I agree.

It's called a diary. You can buy one almost anywhere, some even now have voice recognition!

Well shit, now I'm curious!

I have trust issues. By trust issues I mean I have issues trusting people who aren't trustworthy, either having a history of not keeping secrets or hasn't done anything to prove I can trust them fully. That'd be nearly the entire population. There's only one person who I've shared willingly everything. She's my ex-girlfriend and I still trust her more than enough to continually talk to her. My mom knows pretty much everything. I just don't usually see any reason for why she would need to know stuff so I don't bother telling her unless it ever becomes relevant.
