Feeling tempted to tell your family about your escorting activity? Think about it twice!

Working as an escort often feels like having a double identity and living a double life. It can be pretty stressful always to separate those two worlds apart, to keep track of what you said to one person or to another about your life and your line of work and not being able to talk to someone about your problems or about the way your day went.

All those can be triggers for depression and anxiety, so be very careful how you choose to manage your professional life without damaging your health or your social life.

Are you feeling chatty about your line of work?

In most of the times it can be really tempting to just come clean to your friends and family and get rid of the burden of lying and hiding the truth about your life. But as tempting as that may sound like, it is a decision that must be taken cautiously and after serious consideration.

What makes you feel the need to confide in others about your escorting activity is often the feeling of guilt towards your family and close friends, that feeling that you are constantly lying the ones that you care about.

Another reason may be the fact that is has become way too complicated to keep hiding yourself and the truth or because you simply feel the need to confide in someone about your life, your dates, the good and the bad of this line of work.

But, telling others about your activity must be a decision taken after a great deal of thinking and understanding the way that they can react to finding out this truth.

Here are some possible outcomes of telling out the truth about your escorting activity:

1.The people you are telling the news to, family or friends, may find this truth to be overwhelming for them. They may have other opinions about the way you have chosen to leave your life and they may feel obliged to help you take another career path.

They may be shocked about this discovery and may feel the need to talk about this to someone else. So you have to realize that you can’t really force someone into keeping the secrecy of your activity and you can’t never be 100% sure that the truth will not be spread around.

Also it’s not really ok to make someone keep your secret and also to make him lie to others for you. Keep in mind that telling someone close to you or part of your family, under secrecy, about your activity can be a releasing thing for you but a selfish thing to do.

Escorting is a business that many don’t know a lot about. It is still a TABU subject and a pretty dangerous line of work, so others to feel worried or concerned about your well-being might be a justified reaction.

So, think things through and tell the truth about your line of work only if you are feeling ready to face the criticism, the worries and the sudden interest in changing your life path.

2. Maybe it’s a cold thing to say but you shouldn’t always bet on the unconditional love and understanding of your family and friends. When put into stressful situations people react in a strange manner.

The ones that you have always seen as calm and supportive may turn out to be the ones that are criticizing you the most, or, on the contrary, the people that have always seemed to be a little too severe, may turn out to be the understanding and supporting ones.

What we want to say is that telling the truth may be very liberating, especially at the moment when you just spit it out and clear your soul and mind. But, you must take into consideration the consequences and the way that your decision may change your life and the life of others.

We don’t say that telling the truth is a bad thing, we just say to carefully analyze the ones you want to talk to and be prepared for any kind of reaction.

They may feel sad, cheated, angry or even disgusted, or they can surprise you by being supportive and there for you. Either way, be strong, be proud of what you are and don’t let yourself be manipulated!

Your escorting activity is a business just like any other and as long as you are healthy and happy with your life, you are the only one that matters.
