When it came to sharing my feelings, I realized that keeping the circle small was key. The fewer people who knew about my crush, the less likely it was for the information to spread. I carefully considered who I could trust with this sensitive information, knowing that once shared, I couldn't take it back.
I learned the hard way that even trusted friends can accidentally spill secrets. One of my friends unintentionally revealed my crush, and suddenly, my carefully guarded secret was out in the open. This experience taught me to be extra cautious about who I confided in.
For those I did choose to tell, I made sure they understood the importance of discretion. I explained that I needed their support, not their gossip. It was a delicate balance between seeking advice and maintaining privacy.
