What one thing would people never guess about you?

[Thisisit777]

Me - I was shy at school and rarely talked.

You?

That my net worth is > 1 million.

I have MS. Had it for years with very minimal impact on my life. Until the last year or so - the 'back problems' story explains the funny walk 😕 for the moment.

I write fan fiction...

I have schizo affective disorder which is basically Psychosis & Bipolar & take high dose anti psychotics to function normally.

Most people think I have a bit of depression & anxiety so I let them think that as it's far more socially acceptable!

I make a lot of effort to appear so called normal & it's exhausting...

Me too except we never married. But yes, they're just who we thought they ′, and put up this front to make us think that way.

That I have heart failure.

I am a keen cyclist, I hike, I go to the gym 5+ times a week and have run marathons and ultra marathons up to 65 miles (so far!).

I've flown a plane.
I've written for Viz.
I'm in my 3rd country and fluent in my 3rd language.

I suffer chronically from imposter syndrome and also find it incredible that anyone would want to be my friend.

I've been with DH 20 years - and am still stunned he came out for a second date!

That I’ve been married before

That I was very shy when younger

I used to frequent "private" clubs.
By choice and thoroughly enjoyed myself.

Very prim and proper in my profession.

That I was once homeless and lived in a women’s shelter.

That I go to AA

That I have no friends. I'm so bubbly and kind and giving that everyone assumes I have loads.

I literally have none. I was stranded the other day and had nobody to call. It really hit home then.

Gosh! Diverse we surely are !

I saved a baby from choking on a piece of banana - his mum completely froze and just handed him to me.

I've been utterly broke with not a penny to my name.

I have depression and some days find it hard to keep going.

My dh knows a wee bit about it. I take meds and on the outside I am happiness personified but inside I am crying a lot of the time.

No reason either - just find life hard and meaningless. I don't tell dh that - I just get on with it!

That I have experimeted with most drugs (except heroin) and been on numerous wonderful acid trips man.

I've been an opera singer.

I've been diagnosed with skin cancer and not told anyone.

I don't have any tattoos - I'm too indecisive to commit to one.
People have assumed I have one hidden somewhere.

My whole family almost died in a plane hijacking and air crash in 1977. My father was a doctor and was called back home on an emergency and changed the flight home at the last minute.

Grew up poor,single parent family,in a scheme

In my teens I dated a musician who went on to be in a big band (you’d know them).he asked me to come to London with him, I was all ach,I’m no sure.i begged him to be careful as the music industry is so brutal etc . Lovely really creative sensitive man

Another boyfriend is now an acclaimed artist. Again,a smashing person. Creative and charismatic

Fun thread!

No one knows my DH and I spent 6 months on benefits and were almost made homeless after a business loss.

No one knows we are in tens of thousands of pounds in debt still.

Because I still have nice things from the days we had money and can just about scrape the rent together on our place in a posh area, people think we are minted. We're not. We get to the end of the month by relying on credit cards.

I've made no secret about how poor I am on MN before though

That I own my home and am almost mortgage free. I'm early 30's and live in a small flat in a rough part of town. Had children very young and am on my second marriage. Added all together my life looks on the outside like a car crash. But it's because we live a simple life in a modest home that we are so secure.

That living with my drug addicted and depressed husband has lost me all of my friends and made me feel depressed myself, I often wonder who would actually notice if I suddenly upped and left

Was very shy as a child and bullied.
Now I'm extremely vocal and I will not allow someone to be treated unfairly. A friend once commented they thought I was the strongest person they knew. People laugh when I say I was shy and bullied at school because they can't imagine it but I suppose it's done me a favour made me the person I am today.
