What three things do most people In your life now not know about you?

[Embelline]

I’m talking about friends rather than close family, DH etc.
friend and I were just talking about all the little quirks people have and the interesting experiences in their past which they might not share now because they don’t think about them or they just wouldn’t come up (or they might not want to!)

I didn’t think I really had any but actually:

1. I published three erotic fiction books when I was younger (cannot bring myself to read them now I think I’d die of embarrassment)

2. I can’t point my toes or scrunch my toes as I broke them without realising doing ballet and they knitted together incorrectly. I don’t wear certain styles of sandals as they are a bit mishapen because of this.

3. I lost my virginity to someone who is now very well known but obviously wasn’t then

there’s probably an awful lot more but my brain is blank. Curious to see other peoples - not fishing for secrets, just things that don’t really come up in conversation!

1 - I've been suicidal multiple times in my life and have acted on it once.

2 - I have a family made up of me, ds, dss1, dss2 and dh. We look such a happy family in pics but I actually deeply dislike both my dss's. I love them but I don't like them at all.

3 - my ddad died of alcoholism at 63. I'm convinced I'll meet the same fate. I just seem to be on the same trajectory. I don't tell anyone else this.

1. I used to be issued with a small arm and would strip it down and clean it at the kitchen table when the family were asleep.
2. I anonymously paid to put an Eastern European foster child through a British private school.
3. I dislike pastry, though I grin and bear it.

I sell worn knickers online.

I’m still a virgin (I’m 48).

I once stole a hamster from a pet shop.

I have horrendous issues with food (sensory, texture etc) and have spent my entire life trying to hide it, making excuses or hoping others don't notice. I just want to be normal.
