I told some problems of a person to another person?

I'll probably be the only one on here to say this, but everyone has talked about someone else's problems at some point, whether they admit it or not. Some people on here will tell you that that makes a person terrible, but it doesn't. This happens between spouses, it happens between friends gossiping at school or in many other situations.

Trust is something that should be protected however, so if you care about the relationship you have with the person who divulged their problems to you, then it's best to keep them secret. If you are trustworthy, over time people who know you will notice - just like they'll notice if you aren't trustworthy. Something to consider in the future is if you do tell someone's secrets to another person, think about who you are telling. Are you very close with this person? Is this person connected to the person whose secrets you want to share? If it's your spouse for example, then there really isn't much wrong with sharing. You also want to think about the degree of the secrets - such as, if someone else knows, will there be consequences, or would the secrets damage someone's reputations or friendships.

What all this does boil down to is - you aren't a bad person, but you should think about trust and consequences.

So there is one person who really has many problems. He relied on me and told me about these problems recently. They are really big, so I really feel very bad for him.

But some of them are also very dangerous, he is in a very depressive mood.

So the thing I had to do was share the points with another person.

The other person knows also the one person with the secrets, but I told him to really keep them and I asked him for advice.

Was this very bad?

I had to do so, otherwise I wouldn't have known what to do.

You should never talk about someone problems to another person. It's always up to the person if he or she wants to talk about her problem with someone else. If the person you talked about had shared something with you then it was meant for your ears only. But now it will cost you a friendship. Now that person will no longer be able to trust you. You probably didn’t think twice when you told the other person. But it’s too late now.

It's called gossip. It isn't a very nice thing to do. It certainly isn't the right thing to do. If you are looking for someone to say "that's alright, everyone does it." The fact is they don't. Sometimes the best thing you can do for your own reputation, is to keep your mouth shut about others.

Yep

watching who you talk with about other people is wise to do..that is how gossip starts..because the person you talked with can tell others.

Unless he is suicidal that would be a serious breech of trust.

You're really trustworthy aren't you?

you my dear are in serious trouble..........LOL.........because now you wonder if you did the right thing and it is killing you......instead of telling others why don't you help this poor soul that had the need to confide in you.........guide him towards professional help ""Depression"" is a very ugly place for anyone to be in

Well we know better not to tell you anything!
