Im sure they'll be lots of judgement on here as always but here we go

I really wish I hadn't married my 1st husband. He was a loser and still is.
I find 99% of kids so dull

I wish I had never come into existence. (No I’m not depressed, ND or perimenopausal.)

Me too. I find no real pleasure in life. Also definitely not depressed.

OMG you beat me to it lol.

I've been using MN for 15 years and wouldn't tell a soul.

That I wish I hadn’t got married full stop. Not because I don’t love my husband, I do, or that we don’t have a good life, we do. But because I can’t see the point of marriage at all, if things change it’s a bastard to get out of!

Also, I dislike being around other peoples children.

You can wish you hadn’t been born without being depressed. I’m living my life, but I would still choose not to exist. I’m not actively suicidal.

I get some pleasure, my life isn’t bad. I would still choose not to have been born.

If I knew my mother as an acquaintance I wouldn't like her at all.

When I ride my bicycle, I like to pretend I’m riding a horse. I have a whole cross country course on my commute to work with different speed bumps as jumps and sometimes I score myself for the approach. As I run through the Greenwich Foot Tunnel pushing the bicycle, I’m competing in the in-hand section of the gaited pony show.

It passes the time.

I really cannot stand staying overnight at other people’s homes. It gives me the ick

TeenToTwenties · 11/08/2026 16:23

I wish I could be the priority for a while, with everyone nurturing me.

DramaAlpaca · 11/08/2026 16:24

@ComtesseDeSpair I do this too! And also wouldn't admit it in real life.

Sometimes, on a long cycle, I pretend I'm competing in the Tour de France.

I find men carrying cloth bags totally embarrassing, not that they ‘need to be attractive’ but I could never fancy a bloke who walked about carrying one.
I wouldn’t say it out loud because technically they are doing a good thing saving the planet by reusing a bag and not using plastic but it’s such a cringeworthy sight.
