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

Trans is a kink and men are using it to gain access to women’s spaces for nefarious purposes

yes, but why not say it out loud

NippyNinjaCrab · 11/08/2026 21:05

To admit that I regret the majority of my life, my choices in men, behaviour and jobs. I also hate my dogs most days. I wish I didn't get married again, i would happily live alone, just looking out for myself and never having to be responsible for anyone again.
I wish i could pack up and fuck off to somewhere alone to start again. Ahhhhh that felt better.

I have liver disease. It is NOT alcohol related it is NASH, you can look it up if you want. I told no one apart from one or two when diagnosed and they immediately presumed I was a secret alcoholic. I don't and never did drink alcohol!, and I certainly can't now anyway to prevent further damage. I feel fine and it is well controlled but still, it is a serious liver disease.

I made all kinds reasons for feeling unwell at times, blocked bile duct, gall bladder you name it. I just could not bear the judgment and presumption that all liver related issues are alcohol or drug related. That's the reality of people's assumptions out there folks. It has a terrible stigma. I don't think there is any other illness out there with the same stigma, but maybe there is.

So I carry on dealing with it all by myself. That's what I won't tell anyone.

Edited

I think syphilis carries some stigma.........!

I start every day by hoping this is the day my mother dies.

She’s an abusive old cow, and her death will bring me nothing but peace and relief.

I know it's terrible, but I play 'spot the ugly' when I am travelling about. I study people surreptitiously to understand why they are so unpleasant to look at. It may be the shape of their nose, or their horrid small or too-bulgy eyes. It could be a jowly face or lips too small/big. Sometimes it's just the whole face. I've never told anyone else I do this....😆but the 'good genes' pool is spread very thin.

Wonder what they think of you.

Namechangedforgoodreasons · 11/08/2026 21:07

Occasionally I think maybe Farage has a point.

TemuTrinny · 11/08/2026 21:08

That I wish my daughter wasn’t so overweight. Because it’s unhealthy, because she feels shit about herself and I want her to be living her best life, and because as a child of the 80s and 90s I’m a little bit fatist.

SpunkyKoala · 11/08/2026 21:08

When are we going to admit that the influx of men who are diametrically opposed to our way of life as women in the UK is an actual threat to our safety

I really suffer with birthday blues, it’s not about aging, that’s a privilege denied to many, and I am grateful to age, but I absolutely HATE my birthday.

Me too, worst day of the year.

I think the point is that she hasn't told them? 'What would you never say out loud......'

D'oh!

How overweight are we talking? That isn't unreasonable in itself, of course, but your mention of the nineties gives me pause. Some people glorify that era and think that a size 12 is fat, which is nonsense. I was actually looking at old pictures of Kate Moss today and wondering why she was ever considered to be so stunning. She just looked peaky and gawky and distinctly average.

I don't want to go all panto on you but 'oh yes it is'! I have been loud and proud for 10+ years. It's cost me friends but I am a passionate feminist and this has been a hill to die on for me

This

I will throw a bloody party the day she dies

She has caused so much hurt,heartbreak and pain-purely for her own amusement

I cannot wait for the day I get 'mum,nans died' message (and if its 'mum,nan AND granddad have died',all the better)

I will fucking celebrate

She is just at edge of obese according to her BMI. She is not a healthy weight, she has a bad relationship with food and I worry about her.

I’ve been really lazy at work recently and no one’s noticed. I went away about a month ago and when I came back I just couldn’t be arsed with it anymore. I’ve been half expecting by boss to call me (I WFH) and ask what I’ve been doing but I had my mid year review last week and he said he’s really pleased with my work! I’m wondering what the actual point of my job is now.

This is me. On my wfh days I do NO work. Today for example, I've had a day in the Lake District climbing a fell after doing a few emails in the morning. I keep wondering how the fuck I an getting away with it but they are always pleased with me.

Thepeopleversuswork · 11/08/2026 21:15

I didn't like my mum very much.
I don't like talking about other people's children
I find most people who are really interested in sport to be incredibly boring

This is entirely abnormal and IS a sign of depression

I'm married with 5 kids and I watch 'POV single woman with no friends and lives alone' tiktok videos.

So do I. Love her and her flat.

That Rosie Jones isn't remotely funny and, when she turned up as the surprise support act in Ipswich in 2019, made the evening even worse to then have to sit through an incredibly painful Josh Widdicombe (the main act) set too.

I go to a lot of stand-up comedy but I've never seen so many people walk out of a venue to the bar when it was clear she had no material whatsoever.

Without doubt the worst combination of "comics" I have ever seen.

Absolutely!

I’ll throw a party the day mine dies too, everyone invited because they know what’s she been all these years. Horrible, evil old cow. My father died a few years ago, and while never as obviously horrible as she is, turned a blind eye to far too much, so I’ve never mourned him either, neither do I miss him.

I don’t drink but I will on that day! And raise a glass for you too

@SpunkyKoala

Have you ever heard the Chloe Cole podcast? Dr Soh I think. It talks about what type of bodies are being created for others to benefit from.
This was a turning point for me. I'd been blindsided by trying to be kind to my transman daughter.
I fought back. It's been eight years of hell.

Men in dresses are not women. If they feel they don't want a penis have the surgery like all the girls that have been encouraged to take away their ability to have children and had healthy breast tissue removed. For whom? Because I can tell you is a fucking lonely life. It ruins families, education and relationships.

I love my daughter and I'm so glad she's changed her mind.
