What would you do?

So I have a goal at the group home regarding understanding what to do in social situations...the staff at the group home decided to help work with me...I was to look at a scenario tell what I'd do...did pretty good but one threw me off...someone tells someone else something you asked to keep between each other what do you do? I still don't know what the appropriate response is to that. What would you do?

Hm. Well, initially, I don't really tell much that I don't want broadcast, because these things do happen. But, should this occur...

I would probably voice some amount of disapproval to the person I originally told("Hey, I was really disappointed you chose to share something confidential!"). But, from then out, what's done is done. I'd make a mental note not to share anything else of importance with that person again.

It depends on what the test is for. I had a neuropsych four hour test. If I looked for the answers (which are kept confidential) then it would compromised the test. For me it was to see if my seizures affected mental, social, behavioral issues.

If it's just a more of a group exercise but not a psychiatric or other test, I'd say that's fine. Depends.

It was just an exercise to help me with social situations.

It depends on who gave the exercise. Just my opinion though.

There is no "right or wrong way" to answer these. It's just how you answer them.
More of a tool to help clinicians asses and teach their clients, more than anything.

Nothing. I find most people are going to tell someone else. It's like they can't help themselves. Actually, I'd blame myself for expecting this not to happen.

Rare IMO to come across someone who would keep a secret. I'd make a mental note, never expect anything you tell a person in secret not to get to a 3rd party.
Never tell someone something that would cause you problems if it got to a 3rd party.

Not saying there aren't people who will keep it between the two of you, but you'll never know who those people are until it's too late.

I’d let it go and likely never confide in that person again because s/he violated my trust.

So you would manipulate the results of a test to make yourself look better?

It depends on the test. Like when I took an ADHD test, I couldn't ask others for answers. If it were a group exercise where people took turns, then I guess that would be different.

It depends on the context.

 

[VoidCat]

Someone told that itd depend on the secret...I am thinking depending on the situation I might not be upset...like if I was suicidal and told someone I wouldn't get too mad at them they should tell someone and hopefully Id see that.

Huh?

I don't see how my statement connects

It was just between me and the staff member. You could ask the staff for help should you need it.also I am asking what you'd do regarding the situation they asked about. Not what you'd do during the exercise

Sorry. I misunderstood your intent, but now that I’ve reread, I get it. My mistake.

Its been said a few times but hey, ho, here's my view

Let it go and take it as a lesson learned, that lesson is, the person you told in confidence cannot be trusted to keep a confidence so no more confidences in that direction.

Thanks. Just wondering. I used to go to rehab places where they had test similar. Mostly group format or therapy.

If you're suicidal and someone told, it's more if an ethical and legal thing rather than (if so the case) breaking a secret. Most cases of that scenario it's for your well being. Personal experience.

In a general sense I guess it depends on your relationship with that person. You can tell them your grievances and how you feel about it. I've never been in that situation that Id remember.

The tests he's doing have no right or wrong way to answer them.
Honesty is the best policy for answering any and all such worksheets and psychiatric testing.
