You can only vote on one answer.
A secret that can have life and death consequences, a major impact on you, people you care for, or the world if it comes out and it drives you batty. Or you know it is going to come out and you know you won't know how to explain it and when it does you will be toast?

How does one live with it? Even if it is a good thing for one person.

Book plots thrive on it. Like in, "Where the Crawdads Sing", or "Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistlestop Cafe", but it doesn't have to deal with murder or mayhem.
I know the government suppresses a lot of stuff.
Supposedly UAP crash retrievals or nuclear technology.
Being gay used to be a death sentence so people "hid in the closet". Spies would take poison to avoid capture and torture. Soldiers would drink.
Churches have confession. Psychologists and lawyers have attourney-client privilege. Everyone has NDAs.

I assume one keeps it hidden by containering it in ones mind but knowing it will come out eventually...not sure what can be done.

The poll is anonymous.
