Keep Confidentiality and Respect Boundaries ~ Respecting private information and boundaries ensures that trust remains unbroken.
Why it matters: Trust is broken when people feel disrespected or exposed.
Romantic Relationship Example:
If your partner shares a personal struggle, keep it between you two. If they find out you told someone else, it can break their trust.
Friendship Example:
If a friend confides in you about a sensitive situation, never share it with others—even if it seems harmless. For example, if they tell you about job struggles, don’t mention it to mutual friends unless they give permission.
