Thanks for the explanations.
I would agree that I'd be hypocritical, if and only if I adopted a mindset in which I treated every person I know, both public and intimate friends, with the same level of trust.
But if I trusted certain persons more than others (or hope that I can trust them) I would tell them that I have a serious problem in my family, that I have some plans which aren't concrete yet, that I have a secret activity others aren't supposed to know.
I'm not sure whether revealing it would give me more significance as in gossiping, but rather some kind of relief.
Would you like the whole world to know about all your problems and issues you are writing about on this forum?
