Well, I have this friend who i can pretty much trust with all my secrets but when she has a secret she just wants to keep it to herself and not tell anyone, even when I already know what it is about, she just won't tell me. I feel like she doesn't trust me. Even if I tell her a secret of mine that i really don't want anyone else to know she still just doesn't want to tell me one of hers. Some of the things she keeps secret from me I really think she needs to talk to someone about, but instead she just keeps it inside of her. I am confused of her reasons not to tell me. Maybe she thinks I will tell everyone, but I don't ever remember doing that to her before. Please help

LoveMeDo answered Tuesday March 21 2006, 8:41 pm: Whatever you do, don't accuse her. That'll just make her mad. Like..DON'T say "How come you never tell me anything?"..yuh..won't help! Next time she wants you to tell her something, say.."I tell you a lot of my secrets, it's your turn!" If you keep feeling shut out after saying something like that, then just tell her that it makes you sad when she won't tell you stuff. Mabye she doesn't know it bothers you. Make sure she knows that you want her to tell you stuff because you care about her. If nothing works, either ask how you CAN get her to trust you..or let it go...hope I helped! xoxo [ LoveMeDo's advice column | Ask LoveMeDo A Question ]
