How would you all feel if you found out that some private text messages you were sending to a close friends were being disclosed by that friend to others?

Text Messaging Privacy

been there done that, we aren't friends anymore.Not that im suggesting that action but generally with my friends because of my past if they even backstab me in anyway we aren't friends anymore. I don't consider myself paranoid or unforgiving I just see that these are people that are optional to have a relationship. I HAVE to be related to my family, those are relationships I don't choose to have really, a friend is someone who is always there for you, so why would I keep one around that isn't?

If it's something that should be understood to be private then they would at very least be placed outside the circle of trust. Who needs that kind of two faced fuckin' drama.

Thanks, Old Folks... thanks all who replied... your input makes me feel better that I am not mistaken it was not an appropriate thing to do, although I still feel stabbed in the back! What do others think?

shit happens. Thats why u dont tell people private things through emails or text.

I can see friends doing/saying something behind your back if it's in your own best interest, but violating trust when that is not the case is disgusting. That would be the end.However, if you can't place your trust in somebody to begin with, you'll never have any close relationships...as well as never knowing who your true friends are. It's just like falling in love...if you never put yourself at risk, you'll likely never get where you can enjoy the benefit.

unless you have similar dirt on them, then its not so bad. mutually assured destruction.'corse you could both just get really mad at each other and it would all come out... eep... nuclear winter.... o.o

This has happened to me too. Seems like the only TRUE friends I will ever have are my parents.. i KNOW they would never ever fuck me over. Plus I know they keep secrets for me.. even from eachother.

I think I've seen this situation before (many times)If people get hold of information and they have the power over it, they are going to spread it because they love the satisfaction of getting people to react to what they're saying etc. Like everyone else says, I guess don't leak out the deepest information.That being said, I tell my best guy friend everything, (other than what im feeling about him right now because i'm the other side of the world LOL). So I guess I'm kinda vulnerable. Difference is, he tells me everything. Well, he claims he does. It doesn't matter, I know plenty for him to never release anything about me because he knows the same could happen to him easily. Not that he'd ever do that, or neither would I, but that's irrelevant.My point is if you're going to give information, share it, not give it. If they admit something back then you're both at an equal standing.
