A. strangers
B. closest friends
C. internet friends
D. family
E. ordinary friends
F. colleagues

We always share our secrets with some people. however, due to a difference of personality, everybody has his/her own way to give a secret. some people would share secrets with strangers; some people rather share secrets with closest friends....

what kind of people would you share secrets with? and why?

Me too.

I rather share my secrets with my internet friends. Internet is such a place where people don't know each other at the beginning, but later they get to know each other by talking, writing something...

Imagine: if you share some secrets with your colleagues, but someday if you guys conflict with each other, then the secrets may become a weapon by which your colleague can attack you. However, if you share your secrets with your internet friends, you will never face such a problem and worry. even if your internet friends attack you with your secrets, that won't make any difference for your life. internet fight is so much fun, not any severe effect, it won't affact your promotion, bonus, Interpersonal relationships,etc.and through internet fights, you can also improve your English. that's pretty nice.

internet friends

i never see internet friends in the reality, so they don't know who i am and what i do in the daily life, so i can flankly to say what i want to say
and don't worry about the result .

and i believe internet friends can share their opinions with me ,they also
don't care my feelings. at that time, i can hear the real and direct answer.

I agree that it can enhance English to the best of your ability especially while you and guys here are fighting like cat and dog. And after that, no one takes it serious.

It's very easy to share secrets with internet friends.

I prefer closest friends.

A, B, C, D, E, F
Because I don't have secrets.
But if someone wants to know my secrets BECAUSE of anything, then I will think about it.

dear Best-friends

This is somewhat na�ve. We all have secrets of some sort or another. Take fantasies for example. Could you share your fantasies with your family? Could you share your fantasies with your closest friends?

There are many aspects of our life that are intimate, particularly if one is married. There are many behavioural secrets that simply cannot be discussed with close friends. My husband likes to watch me pee, and I find this quite embarrassing. I have told him so but he says I am being too sensitive, and besides, he likes it and I should indulge him. I wanted to find out if such a desire was common. I wouldn't dare ask my closest friend if her husband had the same desire and whether she allowed him to watch her, but I was happy to discuss this with an internet friend. It is because of the anonymity that this is so easy. There is no face-to-face contact

I can even mention such an intimate thing as this on this forum, but I simply could not do so in an open discussion, say at a party. I could not even discuss such a thing with my doctor. As I said, it is because of anonymity that it is so easy to talk freely on the internet.

No, I am afraid you are being too na�ve to assume you can share all secrets with friends or family..
