Secrets tie people together?

    Can secrets really tie people together? Something that's private, but yet you trust someone enough to share with in a way showing you trust them. Or do they actually just chain you to people, forcing you to stay close?

    I know if someone trusts you with a secret it's different from someone finding it out themselves then holding it over your head, and taunting you with it. Also if someone does trust you enough to share something honor that trust don't just run off telling every soul you can find. Also remember if you get mad at them, or hurt by them (even though it may be tempting) don't use it then out of spite, because a few seconds of rage can ruin someone's life.

    Know that everyone has secrets, no one knows everything about everyone, so don't assume that you do. How would you feel if everyone knew your most kept secret?

    I think given the right situation yes secrets can strengthen friendships, and relationships however, they can also cause more harm than good at times.
