Yes...but once something's done it's done and I try not to dwell on it too much...

In fact, I've done it in the past couple of days, quite publically...

Oh yeah. Been there,
done that,
got the T shirt,
wore it out.

You're not alone; i just try to accept that i can't change what i've told people, and to prehaps just try to be a bit more in control of my mouth. I also seem to swing brtween wanting people to know everything to completely withdrawing and not telling anybody anything. :roll:
I only know as much about myself as my mind can work out under it's current conditions.
And it's current conditions are not good.

It's scary to confide in people. I have regretted telling people personal details before, but it was because those people later proved not to be trustworthy.

I guess I think... Taking risks, like choosing to tell someone a secret, is nerve-wracking, but it can be such a great experience if the person you tell reacts the way you're hoping s/he will.

I hope your friend proves to be worthy of your confidence, and I hope your regret fades as you realize that you can trust her.

I regret a lot of things, but there's no use dwelling on them. There's nothing you can do about it now.

You took the words right out of my mouth...errr right off of my keyboard. I go between those extremes on what seems to be a daily basis.

When I begin to trust someone enough to tell them something (whatever it may be)..I end up telling them everything about THAT topic. Immediately though, I think to myself "What in the world was I thinking? They don't need to know that much about me...they didn't want to know that much about me"..and then I clam up with them for awhile. I know people get tired of my hot/cold acts...but I can't find a middle ground. I either say too much or nothing at all. Either way, I regret it in the end. :-?
You asked what was wrong, I smiled and said "Nothing". Then I turned away and whispered "Everything"

erm yeah, i regret telling my friend that i'd thought about us having a relationship...didn't quite work out the way i'd hoped.
<center>I've tried so hard to tell myself that you're gone
But though you're still with me I've been alone all
along...when you cried I'd wipe away all of your
tears when you'd scream I'd fight away all of your
fears and I held your hand through all of these
years...but you still have all of me
