How many people would you trust with a secret? What are their relationships to you? *3 -husband, brother, long time friend
Would you ever share a secret with the public if you remained anonymous? *nah
How serious of a secret (scale of 1-10) would you openly share with the public? *5
How much would you openly confess to? *Pretty openly, but there is a threshold that I do not cross...I don't think I would even let myself cross it.
Do others secrets, fears, and confessions interest you? Why? *Only those who I'm intrigued by. Others only for entertainment (ex. reading the tabloids on the supermarket checkout line.)
How do you think sharing your secrets, fears, confessions, either openly or anonymously, would make you feel? *free
Would you be more open to share if you knew it made others feel better? *I would. If I was talking to someone going through something and I knew I could help them feel less 'abnormal' by telling them that I shared a similar situation--I would.
Do you think writing confessions down and reading about them, rather than talking with a trusted friend, is helpful in feeling better or not? *Depends, if I were writing them down for only my eyes to see, it could be very cathartic. But writing them to strangers does nothing for me.
