    5 Things You Should Keep PRIVATE For A HAPPY Life:
    1. Your relationship
    2. Your finances
    3. Your goals and aspirations
    4. Your weaknesses (you are giving people ways to attack when you are vulnerable)
    5. The kind deeds that you do

      4. For me, I share some weakness that I no longer experience, especially if its to help others. I don't share weaknesses that I am currently experiencing because I am vulnerable and people will use it against you and while you're vulnerable you will feel the "power" of their words. When you share past weaknesses it can no longer be used against you even if you are actively working on it, if you're content within yourself and know yourself it give their words no power, but when they do try to throw it in your face, keep a mental note of it.

      @@kanieraliapeng724 I mean sometimes it’s good to be silent but that’s how you make connections. Of course there may be things that you wouldn’t want to share. If you’re at an old job and you’re going to a new, then you can tell them when you’re about to leave. I guess it just depends on the person and their environment. If you’re leaving they may throw you a go away party.

    I literally just told my daughter that I was the queen of moving in silence today! 🤣 I literally went to work, knew it was my last day because I accepted a job that pays $20,000 more per year (had the interview yesterday and the lady called me this morning and told me I got it) I didn’t say a word to anybody. I was smiling, helping people, getting my employees under me what they needed, planing meetings and trainings for Monday etc, all while knowing I would be starting my new job Monday. I left my keys, access card, etc on my desk and then blocked all of them from my phone when I got in my car! When I tell you sometimes in life you have to put yourself first and do what’s best for YOU! This is a complete career change and I am SO excited!!! 😆😆😆

      Stop telling people what you’re doing, what you’ve done and what your about to do. There is no need although society has made it seem like you need to tell someone everything going on just because they’re your ‘friend’ but this isn’t the case at all. Most the time people won’t care about what you tell them or will just get jealous just giving you all that negative energy. I just made a touching video on all this check it out and stay blessed 🙏

    I feel like this came at a great time. I've always been a quiet person so it's hard to talk too much but there are several times when I feel I overshared, even with acquaintances. And it's worse when it's family, you think they have your back but those closer to you might be the ones harming you the most. Time to shut my mouth completely.

      It's good to have an open heart. Sorry that you have run into some people that don't deserve your friendship/company. My dear, there ARE people that are good and would be so happy to know you! Just take your time and pray about it and God will bring them. When someone gets to know you, let it be like they are removing petals from a rose ... slowly getting to know you. You can reveal more about yourself gradually. That also gives YOU a chance to see whether they are trustworthy or not little by little. All the best sis! I'm the same and this is something I'm working on too :-)

    I remembered when there was so much pressure on me that I do not talk, I keep things to myself too much and all.. Then I started to say everything, even things I am not suppose to say in my relationship, just because I wanted to please some set of persons in the name of respect or submission. I ended up regretting a lot, but I am healed now, now I want back to keeping private, pressure is coming again that I am not predictable and many more.. Lol.. It's not getting to me anymore.. I do not even trust anybody but my bf again anymore.. Let me not talk much.. I have learned.

    Ooowwweeee this cannot be stressed enough. And please guard it from everyone! Betrayal comes from those closest to you. Also, I would add don’t tell your partner your insecurities, EVER! Not even jokingly. If you feel insecure about weight or education or whatever talk to your counselor or someone ambiguous person that is outside of your everyday life.

      @dee: I know the fairytale thinking can mislead us, but sharing your insecurities with your spouse is dangerous. It’s basically manifesting a new person into his life because he will consciously or subconsciously think of what his life will be like with the ‘new person’ you created. For ex. a woman with a flatter stomach, bigger butt, etc. He will also begin to notice those type of women more often. Men have wild imaginations and they also like variety so don’t make your work harder by basically inviting this new woman you created (via your shared insecurities) into your relationship. The last thing you want is to catch your husband with a woman with all the things you told him that you wanted to be.

    I'm so glad you made this video because a lot of people don't know and take it from me I have done all 5 and people showed me how against me they were. I had witchcraft over my life for years by close people. People that I thought were friends I don't even hear from after I became sick, disabled and homeless. I was so sensitive people used that, especially my sister. I use to always be so upset to the point I couldn't sleep at night because I was always replaying over and over in my mind the things people said or did. When the last person tried me, I had already warned her but she kept on, I finally one day very politely told her off and put my headphones back on and smiled because she was trying to tell me off and because I have hearing loss I couldn't hear nothing but sounds. I'm so secretive now my own family and ex-friends can't tell you where I live or what state, they only think they know, lol.

    For finances, sometimes you find out that when you show your financial status, the person you are telling wants to dependent on you for his/her needs. And you may notice them asking you how much you made from a particular venture.
    About the goals, if you share a lot, you tend to lose some passion for it. You need to keep it in to build the passion up.

      @Sirchingsince that's because original churches were small gatherings in people's homes so they were more intimate but now you got like 500+ people and there's no group of people that a member can connect to and be visible to unless they do these smaller gatherings. At least that's the thought behind these small groups more. Small churches don't have them.

Those are the only two people that I share things with. I still do the move in silence aspect and share the accomplishments after with them but for me overall it has helped having two supportive people that have always had my back and I can get things off my chest with rather than going to my close friends or something like I did before and sharing my thoughts

I also do take pride in the fact that if a trust is broken I can literally cut off a relationship like a cancer cell I suppose being raised by a strong foundation allowed me to realize not to deal with that crap. Also social media when you learn not to care about it you’ll feel so much better about yourself

He make us help each other. You do not tell everyone, boast or throw it back in the person face when you help them. It also doesn't give you the green light to disrespect a person just because you helped them. You are NOT the first person in the world to help people & you will not be the last person to help people. You are NOT the only person in the world that has helped people. God, if I ever accidentally open my mouth & tell others about the kind favors that I did for a person, please forgive me.

    Lockdown in 2020 was my game changer...I met myself during lockdown and I shed off some of my old skin and got some new one and silence was one of the new pieces and I am a new being...after.going back and forth tho...m at 85% with it. Nowadays there is tht 7th sense tht always warns me ahead of time to shut my mouth...and boy PEACE is my portion now

      Stop telling people what you’re doing, what you’ve done and what your about to do. There is no need although society has made it seem like you need to tell someone everything going on just because they’re your ‘friend’ but this isn’t the case at all. Most the time people won’t care about what you tell them or will just get jealous just giving you all that negative energy. I just made a touching video on all this check it out and stay blessed 🙏

    Enjoyed this video! I agree indeed and believe in privacy and knowing when to share and speak. It's important. Great video, well said and explained.

    You are right...I need to learn not to tell...I've told someone that I thought was my friend, about someone I loved and what was happening and she was so negative always, like finish with him, block him blablabla...I did...guess what she started talking to him and stopped talking to me
