You say that but it’s not-always the case, sadly. Obviously, seasoned-adults in their 50s and 60s on average are going to be more reliable than some obnoxiously-outgoing 20-year-old lad with unchecked/undiagnosed A.D.H.D. but I think gossip and intrusion of other people’s private lives is an issue (to varying degrees, of-course) with all age-groups.

I can only speak from my own circle of friends
If you tell someone something in confidence and they talk then they should no longer be classed as a friend.

True. I have zero-time for people who break their friends’ trust. It’s naturally-harder telling people who are high in extraversion certain things because trust and privacy aren’t things they naturally-value as-much but at the end of the day you’ve got interpersonal responsibilities to live up to as a friend of someone, no matter what your natural personality would rather have you do by-default. Having a lively, talkative personality isn’t an excuse for breaking the trust of someone you’re supposed-to be a friend to.
