He told me about his past... why?

Anonymous
A guy I met 3 months ago has become my friend... Why did he trust me with this information? We barely know each other and I could tell other people in our class. He doesn't know that. But he trusted me and I'm not sure why. I won't break that trust. Just curious why a stranger would trust another stranger?

I could have judged him. Of course I never would. And he assured me it would never happen again.
