Keeping a clear distinction between your personal life and professional life can be really difficult. But it is a "very important" skill to master. You have to be really picky who you share your secrets with, Well because not everyone you come across has good intentions.

According to Joan Collins: “The secret of having a personal life is not answering too many questions about it.”

Here are six secrets you should never tell anyone about your personal life:

Family problems
Whether it’s your extended family or your blood relatives, keep the problems in the family. Don’t abuse people’s trust. You’ve been told those secrets because you are close to these people but they haven’t allowed you to spread them around to everyone in your social circle. They confided in you and breaking that confidence is the worst thing you could possibly do. Be respectful of other people’s secrets. You can expect them to treat you the same in return.

Past Grudges
We all have negative stories about our personal lives to tell people we don’t like. ( Remember those schoolmates or former colleagues that you held a grudge against years ago and maybe still do? Yeah, same here.) It’s always best to let go of these feelings and discuss them as little as you can in public. This is for you as much as for others because negativity is so exhausting.

People prefer positive conversations with those who have interesting insights to provide, not ones who complain about everything and about some other people they don’t even know. Let go of whatever that is weighing you down. Try to focus on the present and it's healthy to stay positive at all times.

Good Deeds
Good deeds always attract good karma. That’s true and you should never be discouraged from doing good, however, if you start bragging about it, it takes on a whole different perspective. Once you brag about something good that you’ve done, you’re making it all about yourself, thus invalidating the good that you’ve already created. When you do a charitable deed, you want the attention to be on the people or the cause that you’re helping and not on yourself.

Goals for the future
This might sound really unlikely but there is actually science behind the fact that you’re much more likely to achieve your long-term goals if you don’t share them with others. When you tell others about your future aspirations, you almost feel as if the enjoyment of achieving the goal has been taken from you. If you keep your goals to yourself, however, you have a much higher chance of achieving them. And once you have done that, feel free to tell the whole world about it.

Your financial or economic status
Only one group of people should be allowed to know the details of your income: the people who work in your bank. Money is never a nice subject to talk about in public because you never know what anyone’s financial situation looks like. It may seem like you’re bragging without meaning to. Money and knowledge about finances can shift relationships irreparably also trust no one.

Material belongings
Certain things in life are far more important than their cost. But sometimes, we can’t help but brag about the new car or the new phone we just bought at an exclusive price. It can make you come off as arrogant and overly obsessed with the monetary value of things rather than their unique significance. Modesty is a wonderful accessory. You should try to spread it in every conversation.
