Is there a secret about yourself that noone knows?

[Thisisit777]

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 and I will never tell. I have an awful amount of guilt around it.

Yep, I said it before on here though so fuck it. My sister slept with her step-dad, my mum slept with the father of my sisters children. Sounds like an awful TV soap drama type family but we're not

That I use Mumsnet. No one knows that, not even DH.

I have an awful secret from everyone I know. Something I did that was terrible and shocking (not criminal).

Yes, 2.

I dint like being told secrets, they are a burden to keep. I come from a large, close family and I've only recently learned that, no actually, I don't want to know a secret. Keep it to yourself. Strangers secrets are fine, but not those of folk I love, they'll tell me themselves if they want me to know.

I'm just learning to keep thoughts to myself too, nothing important, just thoughts - it's fine to do that. It's fine to have secrets.

I told DH who I've been with for 33 years, my worst secret, this summer and he was fantastic, put my mind at ease that it was ok, that I was being hard on myself. I felt like a weight had been lifted. Secrets can hurt too.

Of course. And its staying that way

Pele get asked this at work? Time for a new job. CFs.

Thank goodness I had my teenage wild years before Facebook and selfies !! It's harder to have secrets these days !

I pawned my ex boyfriends’ mums ring she gave me and used the money to buy a kitten .
No one knows that .. till now

Yep and a secret it will stay

Every body knows I am a recovering alcoholic!!! ( 34 years ) 🙃

Yes I have only one other person knows who I haven't seen for ten years.
It relates to something I used to do, illegal and something I'm not particularly proud of.
No one would ever guess.

I have a couple of things that even my fiancé and best friend don't know, no one does and probably never will

No.
Either My mum or my husband know everything about me.

Oh yes! And the other person is keeping their secret too.

Yeah, it’s a very common one though, I’m sure.
Everyone thinks I’m straight, but I’m not. I’ve been with my DH since I was very young and I’m happy with him. Never had a same sex relationship or any kind of experience. I won’t either because I’m the faithful type.

That must be a tough path at time Nuffaluff.

Speaking to a mental health nurse recently, she said that anyone with a secret should hope they don't get dementia, because it all comes spilling out. I know that it's true from some things that MIL has said to me.

Yes. Two big, unrelated, horrid ones. It would end or change irrepairably, all my relationships with those I love. It's amazing how I can usually keep them at the back of my mind and carry on as normal but I do.

Yes, a couple. Not really awful ones but they are ones I won't ever tell.

Sorry ajand, to be clear I am bi, so it’s not tough. Just feels strange to say it - even anonymously!

I do, but my sister's on here so I'm not telling!

Yes I have a secret that I will never tell anyone. But because I’m so good at keeping secrets I know quite a few of friends and families secrets too, they know that I will never tell. It sometimes feels like an extra burden though.

A few things no one knows - and a few secrets - illegal/sexual/family that only a few people know.
If those people ever met and talked about it, that would be grim
Spread your secrets widely - that’s my advice!

Everyone has secrets
