“Keeping secrets can be healthy, and yes, everyone keeps some secrets. For many humans, ‘keeping secrets’ is synonymous with ’not sharing everything,’” she explained. “By not sharing every thought, word, and action with every person, we are all inherently keeping secrets from someone.”
“What is important is evaluating what you are comfortable with sharing with others and what you would like to be known. We all have boundaries, and maintaining these emotional boundaries (such as not sharing certain information about ourselves), can be labeled as keeping secrets,” the expert added.

“If there is someone who is planning on hurting themselves or someone else, or is actively being hurt by someone, is there much risk of harm if we keep it a secret? Yes. Looking at the nature of the secret and whether or not someone could get hurt can be a helpful way to determine whether or not a secret needs to be revealed,” Tori continued. “If there is danger, it is important to go to a trusted authority figure in order to maintain the safety of everyone involved.”

“This does not always mean what they are doing is harmful - for instance, rooting for the rival of the sports team your parents have rooted for for the past 30 years may not be something advertised, but ultimately doesn’t hurt anybody,” Tori explained. “Parents can withhold information or keep secrets from their children in order to help keep them safe and allow them space to explore their own sense of the world without interference.”

“Whether it is that you are secretly a fan of Nickelback or that you root for the Red Sox in a Yankee household, most of us have some secret we keep to ourselves,” she added. “If the secret puts someone else at risk, however, it is important to ensure that secret is revealed so that everyone has the opportunity to stay safe.”
