Is keeping a secret telling a lie ?

Answer #1

Depends on what it is really, but I kind of consider it a lie.

Answer #2

That depends on if the secret you’re keeping influences the truth or influences someone else’s views or opinions. It’s not exactly telling a lie, because you aren’t saying anything, but it can still harm a relationship.

Answer #3

Lying is deliberately telling an untruth, and keeping a secret is keeping your mouth shut. So, there is a difference. Keeping a secret is only considered lying if someone asks you specifically about the secret and you say you don’t know when you really do.

Answer #4

No it isn’t. When someone tells you something in confidence because they value you and trust you, you have nothing to gain by repeating it. Keep it in confidence and don’t participate in gossip or anything else.

Answer #5

The only time you should reveal a secret is when it endangers somebody, say one of your friends is being bullied or abused and asks you to keep it secret, that is the only time you should reveal a secret

Answer #6

I agree with TwiddlePumpkin. The ONLY difference I feel between both is that - Lying is telling something that is untrue. It may be to gain something, or hide some truth. And regarding keeping a secret, you don’t utter anything. It depends on the type of secret, to determine whether it’s a lie or not.. Secrets are sometimes kept in order to avoid hurting someone, or something that our dear and loved ones has confided in us, believing us, to share their feelings, emotions etc. And some secrets are like gossips. The latter ones are, definitely to be avoided, because it mostly hurts someone, or in some cases, it seeds hatred in our heart

Answer #10

Actually more people prefer to age-gap romance, dating with older woman or younger man becomes normal, It is true that men tend to find older women to tolerant and support them. The cougar are more balanced emotionally and can even be protective at times. Men love to be nurtured by their lover, even mothered; this quality is rarely in women who are as old as them. Because they need to be preoccupied with their own career, so they need a person to care about their life and family. And older women can understand them. A sexy older woman, like a workmanship art, matures greatly with age. They have a special wisdom which is highly attractive to younger men; men find that these women can easy win the mind games that younger women play in relationship, there are more information on seekacougar.c*om.
