Looking for a word that I can't remember
Hi,
I can't seem to remember a word. It starts with C and it means being close enough to someone that you can share secrets with them. Or trusting or knowing them enough to share secrets.
Does anyone know the word I'm thinking of?
Thank you!

Someone close with whom you can share secrets is called a "confidant(e)". The "e" on the end is generally used only if the person to whom the term "confidante" is being applied is a woman. For men, it is "confidant".
