When Someone Close to You Is Hiding a Secret

So, you found out someone close to you has a secret they’ve kept from you. How do you approach them about it?

Assuming you know this person does not pose a serious threat to you, there are ways you can get them to spill whatever it is they’re hiding.

In this post, we look at the advice given by army intelligence interrogator, James O. Pyle.

First things first, use the right conversational approaches:

Imposters: Getting Blindsided in a Relationship

There’s a new television series that aired on Bravo TV yesterday which begs the question, “how well can you know anybody?” Imposters is a con-themed comedy series of twists, turns and deception which follows Maddie, a persona shifting con-woman who marries her unwitting victims then robs them of everything – including their hearts – and disappears.

Getting “blindsided” by a breakup becomes a running element of the show, and while Imposters takes a comedic approach to not really knowing someone, getting blindsided in a relationship by someone you trusted just isn’t funny.

Reconnect: It's Forget-Me-Not-Day

November 10 is unofficially Forget-Me-Not-Day. It’s a holiday about reconnecting with those you’ve lost touch with over the years.

Forget-Me-Not-Day comes at a time when Thanksgiving is just around the corner. Memories of holiday dinners with family or friends might be coming back to your mind lately – remembering the past and the people you shared it with.

With feelings of gratitude and memories of family gatherings encompassing many of our lives this time of year, it might just be the best time to reconnect with someone from your past.

Are Expectations Dooming Your Relationship?

Have you ever built up expectations about someone, without any proof that these imagined characteristics are even true? This often the case with having a crush. You see someone attractive on Tinder and already you’re imagining what they’re like and how they’ll treat you.

We all have expectations of what we desire in an ideal partner, but knowing which expectations are healthy and which ones can lead you down a path of disappointment (or something worse) is a fine line.
