I'll start...

I have a weird phobia of buttons and freak out every time I see one Blush

I'm very strange,
well not quite a secret as I freely admit it.
better than trying to be normal.

I like licking and biting sponges 🤣🤣🙈

vaccine please get support or talk to us here 💐

People wouldn’t know I slept about a bit (nothing major & sometimes not always the full sex thing but had lots of fun ) in real life I seem to be mumsy and one man only type (people have said)

I didn’t live with my husband until we married so his parents might even think I was a virgin until then (they are really old fashioned and repressed Catholic types) though nice people in their own ways.

I want to hop, to different parallel universes or time travel, as I can rewrite my previous relationships, with an intriguing relationship, but need the time travel ability to do this.

VerifiedBot2351 · 16/10/2022 22:08

I’m jealous of people who are close to their siblings. I wish I had that with mine.

Carlycat · 16/10/2022 22:10

I'm a Terf ✊

halfpasteleven · 16/10/2022 22:11

@VerifiedBot2351 I feel the same, and can also add in my mum. Never felt like I was enough for her growing up and even now as a mum myself I cannot understand why she treated me the way she did.

aquarius102 · 16/10/2022 22:11

I have a fear of being abducted by a mermaid every time I go in the sea 😂

nothingmuchaboutjerry · 16/10/2022 22:11

I have a phobia of butterflies. Won't even buy clothes with them on, which was tricky when my girls were little.

I lick crisps. Particularly salt and vinegar ones. Don't knock it until you've kicked a S&V Disco.

Foolsandtheirmoney · 16/10/2022 22:12

I slept rough for a few nights when I was a teenager after my parents kicked me out.

haveyouopenedyourbowelstoday · 16/10/2022 22:13

I'm bi sexual. One with no experience but lots of thoughts. Also married.

EndlessMagpies · 16/10/2022 22:15

There is a fact about me that no-one knows, but I can't tell you what it is.

I have autism and can’t tell anyone (my mother shamed me all through my childhood because of it so I’m unable to disclose it to anyone). Also my obsession is having babies I can’t stop

Bookaholic73 · 16/10/2022 19:44

I constantly worry about knocking my front teeth out.
I don’t know why, I’ve never knocked a tooth out, but I have this irrational fear of tripping in the bathroom and knocking them out on the sink.

Me too. I go hiking and I am so careful where I step in case I slip and knock my teeth out.

dizzydizzydizzy · 16/10/2022 22:20

I've got 3 nipples.

Wailywailywaily · 16/10/2022 22:23

I really hate the bottom part of my knee cap being touched. Makes me feel really nauseous.

No shame in having autism! Hope you can find peace with it one day.

How many babies do you have?

AlwaysLatte · 16/10/2022 22:25

I don't like viable pipes on walls or bathtubs full to the top. Or indoor swimming pools (gave up on buying a really nice house because of that). Very very creepy!

AlwaysLatte · 16/10/2022 22:25

Visible, not viable!

Passanotherjaffacake · 16/10/2022 22:29

The smell of bleach makes me really angry!

also have an irrational fear of falling onto a knife and it taking out an eye 🤢 or one of my childrens eyes.

milawops · 16/10/2022 22:34

I still count 10 seconds after I turn the light off and have to be in bed covered from the neck down by my quilt otherwise the witches will get me. Cheers mum, top notch 80s parenting 😂

Why do your friends think you're a vegetarian?

Glad to know I'm not alone with the buttons thing, they actually disgust me!

I'm intrigued by the button thing. How do youget through a day? there are buttons everywhere - on coats, bluses, shirts, jeans. You can't avoid them. How do you cope? Is it especially small buttons or big ones?

HolyMerlot · 16/10/2022 22:36

The first thing that came to mind is that I can't bring myself to eat the ends of sausages - I'll purposely not order sausages if eating in public due to this - but I don't think that counts because DP and my parents know about it. Grin

chosenone · 16/10/2022 22:38

I have a fear of choking and can be obsessive about chewing.

I like to have time alone to fantasise/role play a future life/ new job/ made up conversations etc

star674 · 16/10/2022 22:38

@BuryingAcorns I don't have an issue with buttons on clothes, I have an issue with loose buttons. So, for example, if I see one on the floor I freak out. And it's only buttons with holes in, so the ones on jeans don't bother me. It's really weird!
