Now i know that this isn’t really the best place to be asking for help but everyone here is so genuine that i figured someone might know. Here’s the situation: I was trying to help a friend but didn’t pay close attention to my surroundings and now some of my friends personal life details are in someone else’s hands. I don’t know what to do and I feel horrible about it. Any advice?

Talk to your friend and say your sorry if you genuinely mean it. Explain that you didn’t mean to tell others/ let them over hear. Then maybe after that ask your friend if they want to talk to the person who overheard and if so how they want to go about it. And if at all possible do it in person and not over a call or something, and make sure that you are alone this time or with someone else who knows about it already. Hope this helps and you figure things out! Let me know how it goes! If your comfortable sharing.

@ArtsyAnna thank you. I do genuinely feel bad but I feel like if I try to explain then it will sound like I’m making excuses. I only gave limited details to my other friend because she is much better at giving advice and I wanted to try and help. However this other person spreads any rumors they can find and if it ends up getting back to him he’ll know that I had a part in this. I’ll let you know how it goes when I talk to him next.

tbh when we try to explain most things it sounds like we are making excuses. i’d just be like look i didn’t mean to do this, i messed up, and i’m not gonna pretend i didn’t or whatever. not trying to be like this, but my view on thst type of stuff is i’ll be pretty angry for all of 2 hours if you own up to it and just say you messed up vs pretend you didn’t. i’ll also respect someone who accepts mistakes more. not saying you are, and i’m probably saying this wrong, but just be 110% honest and yes it’ll probably sound like excuses, but most reasons for why something didn’t work do, so just own up to it, apologize and mean it, and do your best to fix it. that’s all you can do and i apologize in advance for anything that comes off as rude

@xc2024 thank you. And no, it didn’t come off as rude. I would be mad at myself as well if I was in his situation but I figured being honest was probably my best bet. I appreciate the advice

@ArtsyAnna @xc2024 so I saw him today and apologized. It went way better than expected. Basically he said that while he’s annoyed that I told someone that he understands I don’t mean for the other person to have the information as well. We’re still friends lol. Thank you guys for your help!
