I met up with a known friend about lots of topics and drove him home.
I got to talk about my plans on what to study at university. I also mentioned an idea I have for a startup, yet presented it as if I'm planning to create that startup. He asked me what's the startup idea. I hesitated, and then told him the idea.
I'm now anxious because I revealed a "secret" and am anxious that he'll spread the word through casual chat and I will lose the opportunity.
It's an idea for an app I just had visionary thoughts about, nothing more.

I got anxious because I presented the startup as if I'm working on it (overstatement?) and have an anxiety of revealing info due to competition, even if he's a friend.

I'm kinda sure I'm exaggerating, but I need reassurance, or whatever else you think.

If you had one idea, trust me, youll have another. More and better. Plus, the same idea sometimes springs up at multiple places around the world. They still take tons of work to implement.

Dont worry about this one getting away, really.

Should I tell him to keep it secret?

Really he probably will forget all about it.

If you are feeling anxious....I would suggest next time to not be so open with your ideas....why cause yourself anxiety????
