60 Things You Should Never Tell Anyone
1. How Much Money You Have or Make
You don’t want to deal with envy and fake friends. Keep it simple and private.
2. Your Biggest Weaknesses
Share them only with trusted friends. Even if you’ve known someone for a long time, don’t share everything.
3. Your Long-Term Goals to Small-Minded People
That’s the quickest way to destroy them. Small-minded people are filled with envy.

If you are good, there is no need to broadcast it.
5. Your Family’s Private Issues
Every family has problems. Whatever happens in your family must stay there and should be solved there.

Move in silence. Not everyone wishes you the best; some may sabotage what you have been working on.
7. Your Past Mistakes in Too Much Detail
Acknowledge your past, but don’t dwell on it publicly. What happened has happened.

Friends often give biased advice that can make things worse. Only the two of you truly understand each other. Outside interference will only make things worse.

If they gossip to you, they will gossip about you. Never trust them and stay away from them.

Keep it simple; your new friends and colleagues want some good vibes first.
