I have a friend who used to always tell me a lot of "heavy duty" secrets. She'd tell me, and then tells me not to say anything to anyone, and that she only tells me because she trusts me, and that nobody knows about it. Those secrets used to be about a lot of other people, now she only talks about herself, I guess she learned. The point is, I'd discover later that a mutual friend already knows, and that it is a secret that now "the three of us" know about- only the three of us.
With days, I started being more careful about what I say to her, because she told me other people's secrets and pretended that she didn't tell anyone else, and then I discover that she talked. I used to tell her to be careful of people who talk about others behind their backs, because even if you guys are friends, if one talks about others to you, chances are he/she talks to others about you too.
She stopped doing all that now, but she tells me she lies to others sometimes if she wants to hide something. Today, she lied to me, and I am her friend. I am one of her closest friends.
Thing is, you can't lie to a good friend, she'd know.
