what is the difference between " secretive and reserved "
I know both of them are adjectives used for describing personality,but when i translated it to arabic i got the same meaning.

" secretive and reserved "

Secretive describes someone who is of a sly, self-centred nature, not having many, if any, friends.

Reserved describes a person who is well-mannered and genteel.
