Male Female

The biggest mistake I have ever made is that I let someone invade my personal life. She was one of my best friends about 5 years ago. We used to be very close, so I let her know every detail about my life - my personal life, my family, my school, my grades, my job, my salary, and everything. So, accidentally, after that, I discovered that she's not a trustworthy person. She spread my news and information to everyone and kept gossiping about me. I was really disappointed. Then, I decreased my contact with her, Marcy, and made our relationship less special. I learned that there are some boundaries that you should never allow anyone to cross - your personal life, your family, everything you want to protect, you should keep it away from people. So, I learned that I should keep my friendships with everyone superficial in order to protect my privacy.
