So is it a bad sign if one or both friends are keeping secrets? “Sharing vulnerable information/secrets within a healthy friendship dynamic can certainly be beneficial in strengthening bonds, enhancing friendship intimacy, and providing a platform for more expansive relational capacity and connectedness,” Rebekah told Bored Panda.
“However, if one or both friends are keeping secrets, placing a value such as ‘good’ or ‘bad’ on this dynamic is limiting. A more useful way to address it is to become curious on why one or both are keeping secrets, assess if the secret is something that could impact the other person in a meaningful way, and explore if the pattern of keeping secrets is unique to that friendship, or a more general pattern in interpersonal dynamics,” the expert noted.

She was homophobic.
Had a friend for over 20 years. She supported me when I came out at 32. She met my partner and loved her. Was a great friend.
Then I went back to court to get custody of my children changed and she sent me a 5 paragraph email telling me that I have no right to my children as I’ll raise them in my lifestyle and they don’t need to be exposed to that. She also said I need to grow up and realize that having someone who is gay as a parent will get them bullied so I need to find a nice man and put my perverted lifestyle aside for the sake of my kids. It went on but, that’s the gist. It was vile. Full of name calling and homophobic dog whistles.
I was so heartbroken. This was my BEST friend of TWENTY YEARS and she writes me a horrible and disgusting email!
