I was thinking earlier.... I have one.

I’m pretty sure I’ll write a book before I die. On what ....I don’t yet know but I have very little internal doubt....

Yet no one knows.

Anyone else got anything similar?
Ps. I have spell checked this time. Think pears of wisdom

Yes, I pull my hair out (tritchotillomania) but it isn’t noticeable because I’ve always got my hair tired up or covered outdoors.

The men who worked in the sweet shop on our estate were disgusting pedophiles who tried to bribe me with sweets. Luckily never got what they wanted. Never told anybody ever IRL

KeepServingTheDrinks · 26/10/2018 23:34

Yes. If anyone found out, I'd probably lose everyone I love!

Yes. I am a renowned secret keeper. If ever blabbed half if my city would implode!

🤔 I’ve had lots of ons. I can’t count how many 🤷🏼‍♀️ meh!

I can’t swim either Blush

No major secrets about myself but I know a few shocking things about other people, mainly gossipy stuff like affairs/drugs/secret prison sentences.

The biggest is that my cousins have an older half sibling that I think only I and their dad know about, and he doesn't know I know either! They will find out when he dies and I will have to pretend I never knew.

AnnIeAnonIMouse · 27/10/2018 00:10

There are things people don’t know, but nothing I’m deliberately keeping a secret —now—.

MrsTommyBanks · 27/10/2018 01:20

Yes.

Isadora2007 · 27/10/2018 01:27

None that only I know I dont think.

Atchiclees · 27/10/2018 01:44

Lots! I can reveal here that I almost always buy in cakes for cake sale fundraisers but pass them off as my own. I found an obscure supplier, and then I add some decorations on. People think I am amazing at baking Wink

disneydatknee · 27/10/2018 02:13

People would probably be shocked about how many people I slept with before I met my husband. I came out of a really horrendous relationship and slept around a lot to fill some kind of void. I was single for just over a year and bar a few short, non relationships I was on the pull most weekends. Never went more than about 2 weeks without sex of some kind. Few fwb on the go. Not proud of it now but I was incredibly lonely and vulnerable. Feels like it was someone else's life entirely now. I am the shy retiring type. You would never expect it of me. And I'm from a very religious background!

Aus84 · 27/10/2018 02:33

I have one that me and one other person knows. If anyone found out it would rip our entire family apart so it’s goingg with me to the grave (nothing to do with cheating/affairs etc and nothing I have done)

aurynne · 27/10/2018 07:50

Nope. Life's too short. And people don't care that much about things as others think.

beanaseireann · 27/10/2018 10:13

Oh Aus that sounds interesting

nicebitofquiche · 27/10/2018 10:21

Yes. But it's pretty horrible so I'm certainly not putting it on here

MadisonAvenue · 27/10/2018 10:24

Georgie same secret here, my husband thinks that I can swim but I don’t because I don’t like water.

Thecomfortador · 27/10/2018 10:39

Yes. It was me, sorry mum.

In my defence I was 5 and didn't know cassette tape cut so easily. You can't blame a child for having a curious mind.

Thisisit777 · 27/10/2018 18:04

I told my husband

He looked at me like Hmm

Cheeky bugger. Just because I can’t spell Grin

I have an MN account.

HolgerLowCarbingLoser · 27/10/2018 18:47

Yes, nothing major or exciting. Really it’s just that I’m not a very nice person inside, and that makes me quite sad.

Dlux · 27/10/2018 18:49

YES

beanaseireann · 28/10/2018 08:23

Two of my half siblings don't know I exist.
The others do, but they won't tell.

Bastardchild · 28/10/2018 15:03

@beanaseireann we are in the same boat... I have at least four half siblings that have no idea that I exist, I Facebook / LinkedIn stalk them and it's probably not the best thing for my mental health to be honest.

Bastardchild · 28/10/2018 15:04

Plus a few that do know I exist but for various reasons I'm frozen to the spot about reaching out to them beyond being friends on FB.

TodoDoingDone · 28/10/2018 15:30

I've had to answer this question at two icebreaker sessions on team days at work (different workplaces). Crap exercise, and I made some banal shit up. Hmm

I've had this on work ice breakers. The facilitator got pissed off with me when I refused to answer. I did say if I told you it wouldn't be a secret anymore but it has to remain a secret so I'm not telling you.

Bloody stupid and an unfair exercise.
