When you share something deeply personal and private with someone, there's an implicit sometimes explicit understanding of trust and confidentiality. Feeling that trust broken can be hurtful and confusing. It's really upsetting when someone shares things you told them in private.
You trusted them with something special, and it feels like they broke that trust when they tell others. It's natural to feel hurt and wonder why they did it.
Sometimes, the person might not understand just how secret you wanted the information to be. What feels very private to you might not seem like such a big deal to them, or they might just accidentally let it slip without thinking. They might have thought it was okay to tell just one specific person, like their partner or best friend, not realizing you meant absolutely no one.
Other times, people share secrets because they want help or advice. If you told them something heavy, they might talk to someone they trust to figure out how to support you or handle the information. They might also share it to feel closer to another person, using the secret as a way to bond, even though it wasn't theirs to share.
Less often, someone might share your private information just to gossip, get attention, or unfortunately, to intentionally hurt you. While these aren't nice reasons, they can sometimes be why secrets get spread.
No matter the reason, it's okay to feel hurt when your private thoughts or stories are shared without your permission. It was important to you, and your trust was broken.
