I fucked up… this is all my fault.

Ya it helps to think things through before telling people. However I know where you’re coming from. Often times, especially when I’ve been emotional, I’d let out some truth and secrets about myself only to regret it later on.

Live and learn, that’s the only way you get better at it. We all need to let our feelings out, we have to tell someone. So be picky about who you share your personal stories with. I had a ‘buddy’ who I thought I could trust, I used to tell him a lot of personal stuff and learned one day he’s a huge gossip whore.

I left him a personal voicemail once, telling him about my experience with asking this hot girl out, she was a mutual friend and he let some acquaintance hear it. I was very livid and learned not to trust him or anyone else again, unless they were someone who had integrity.

Nowadays I come across as someone who’s very ‘conservative’ (not politically) and not that outgoing. The reality is, that I’m more careful now and I get to know people well before opening up to them. Of course posting online is another story since you’re anonymous (as long as it remains that way). That’s why this is a good place to vent. Plus you do have smart and nice people (mostly) who offer good advice.
