Three in five people have a secret that they dread¹ others finding out, a survey has revealed.

调查显示，每五个人中就有三个人深藏一个害怕被别人发现的秘密。

And researchers found the average person has at least one secret that they have been carrying for 15 years or more. Millions of us have a skeleton in our closet, ranging from affairs or relationships through to secret children or even marriages. Other secrets include shoplifting as a child or getting caught drunk-driving at some point in the past.

The study showed people typically have two secrets hidden away - including an Internet history they are not proud of, debt, sexual turn-ons and phobias they have never shared.

Respondents said the person they most dread unearthing² one of the skeletons in their closet is their partner, though a quarter believed their other half would support them if they did find out. Keeping a big secret from mum was also very common. Other secrets included hidden tattoos³, poor exam grades and having to pretend to like someone.

Some 70 per cent of respondents said they keep the secret out of shame or embarrassment⁴.
