There is a category of facts about you that you should never share, be it your friends or colleagues at work or on social networking sites, the most probable candidates you could end up spilling your beans with.

Other common but extremely important facts we end up sharing –

• Your feelings towards an ex-lover you might re-unite with

• Your dislikes for a person who may end up becoming a close friend later

• Your diet plans, no one appreciates when you quit it halfway

• Your past illnesses you had that could in anyway drive people’s perspective about you

Here's a list of 5 most important things you should keep a secret with you forever.

1. Your Love Life: Your love affairs and relationships should be all yours to enjoy and relish. Sharing such crucial information about your relationships, either committed or marriage, may evolve into unwanted gossips and rumours among friends, family and even strangers.

If your bedroom stories are the talk of the town, you wouldn’t be very pleased with it. Keep such stories under the wraps, forever.

2. Your Income: Each penny that you earn is your hard work. What you deserve should be with your concern and not a community discussion. Never reveal your paycheque to anyone unless you cannot do without it.

And not just that it’s rude to boast of your income in front of others who make less, it may also result in a contrary situation where you end up getting depressed about your lesser pay. So avoid the debate!

3. Other People’s Secrets: This is a complete no-brainer if you frequent this mistake. Other people ‘share their secrets’ is brainless, but you ‘sharing it further’ is exponentially foolish.

Someone shared a story with you so that you would be their secret chamber but if you don’t retain it, it could land you into serious trouble. People will lose their trust in you which could also affect your friendship and ruin your relationships with others as well.

4. Grudges Regarding Work: You never know what may work against you. What you said, what you wrote may very well be used against you. Not everyone is perfect and almost everyone has issues with workplace, colleagues, and bosses.

The trick is, always monitor how much to share and when to zip up. Playing an open book may also get you fired. So beware, next time it’s a work related discussion, weigh it before you say it.

5. Your Post-Work or Vacation Plans: Most people love declaring their next vacation or the immediate party they’ll take off to after work on social networking sites. How do you monitor who saw your statuses and who didn’t have a bad plan for you?

Friends will be tested only when in need. Till then, save your plans. A theft, a robbery may very easily entrap you if the world knew your plans. So next time you update your status, keep some plans veiled.
