Personally I've kept every secert that somebody has told me to specifically keep quiet about. Other information would be dependant on whether I believe it's significant and whether the person would want it kept a secert. You talk of others as if they constantly do this, but what I'd really like to ask is whether you believe you do this yourself?
It's hardly hypocritical to give out information about the self, and hope that it'd be kept private. A really really horrible comparison would be someone that is willing to share their body with anybody. People share information with others because they trust them and want to express themselves to these individuals. A secert doesn't have to be confined to one person, people can share a secert. Besides gossip is basically talking behind someones back, if you're talking about yourself how can that be considered as gossip?
