What one thing would people never guess about you?

[Thisisit777]

Me - I was shy at school and rarely talked.

You?

I left my husband 10 years ago because he was abusive. I have recently been diagnosed with anxiety and have felt suicidal this year. I also drink too much. However, I hold down a very senior job in a prestigious organisation and people think I am very competent and professional.

I have a new partner who is 22 years older than me, but you wouldn’t believe it. He is a former SAS trooper and he was one of the soldiers who stormed the Iranian Embassy in 1980.

He attended Prince Charles and Diana’s wedding as a “guest” but was undercover.

I lead a completley double life

Tccat.... whaaat!? Can you tell us any more??

And I daydream sometimes about Gerard Butler. In a kilt ❤
Hell,yes that a marker of sanity in my mind

That I sometimes go to fetish clubs and parties. Close friends know this, obviously some are from the scene, but workmates and school parents etc would probably be pretty surprised.

That the main reaaon my shop failed is because I'm absolutely useless at putting anyrhing into action.
that I have all these brilliant ideas and know exactly what I'm supposed to do, but I get the Fear when it comes to it and can't do it. That I should be working towards making money to open a new one but I have absolutely no way of pushing myself into it happening. I can't phone people, I can't write to people, I can't "sell myself" because I'm worried people will think I'm being pushy or too forceful or demanding.

Married to a celebrity, we met in a cult. People are surprised I’m married at all (estranged for 20+ years, can’t quite organise a divorce).

That I was raised by a mentally ill mother and an abusive alcoholic father.
That one of the schools I went to was a cult.
That I'm NC with most of my family.

@disgracetotheychromosone can you please tell me the coping strategies!

I have super powers.
I can dowse all kinds stuff about people...yes even ones I’ve never met...from your Facebook photo even .
Mwaha haaa!

That I am a very anxious person

That I lived on a very rough council estate when I was a child

That is have been in care

I come across as soft and a bit of a push over but I am not at all

I make a really convincing monkey sound, so much that the monkeys at the zoo stop and stare at me

I get a lot of exercise. Not long back, I won my age-sex group in a mini-triathlon. Lots of people assume I'm very good at sport since I do so much.

I'm actually lousy at sport. In school I was the slowest & weakest & least coordinated in all sport. I couldn't even make the average percentiles for no. of press-ups in 2 minutes, etc.

I'm.a lot more disabled than people think. Most, if not all people think I have a bad back. It's a bit more than that and I have a serious spinal condition. I'm going to end up a wheelchair user within 10 years.

I have the sort of memory that can remember the most random of crap. Like the registration plate of a car we had in the family 25 years ago.

I frequently self harm and have done so for about 15 years now. It's my coping mechanism and as my username suggests there's more than one way to skin a cat.

cheeses

From the ages of 8 to 16 I was bullied horribly. I hated secondary school especially and contemplated suicide a few times. I had red hair and glasses and loved learning but otherwise no idea why they picked on me.

However, I am now (assumed to be) confident and (genuinely) happy with my life.

If I could tell my 14 year old self anything, it would be that things do get better

I have been married 3 times. One was annulled so doesn't count?

I can cut up a car with the 'jaws of life'

I have 2 tattoos

I slept with a teddy till I was 22 lol

I have had a secret binge/starve cycle for 20 years. No one knows, not my husband, parents or therapist.
It is accompanied by a near round the clock diatribe of voices in my head negotiating food/drink consumption.
I come across as laid back.....

I’m pretty WYSIWYG tbh.

cheese Hope you can get some help.

That I'm quite anti-social & hate the thought of going out or socialising or talking to people on the phone and would happily not do social occasions. When I'm out and about I talk to everyone and am really friendly, and people think I'm so good at "working the room". All a big fat act to get me safely home again.

I hate socialising and will do anything to avoid it. I would be happiest living totally off the grid with no internet, in a small bungalow type house.

I have an unlikely family connection to someone globally famous.

Oh, and I like trains.
