Things you wouldn't admit to in real life

[TwinklyFawn]

Light hearted. I dislike my mum's boyfriend. I am sick of his constant grunting when i ask him a question. It is like he is incapable of saying yes or no to a simple question. He is a terrible bus driver. He drives like he is on a race track.

Oh I’m so sorry, this must feel very lonely. Do you not think he could handle knowing the truth?

Are you talking about illegal immigrants or those seeking asylum. Actual illegal immigrants don't receive government assistance.

You’re going to hell for that 🤣🤣

Even tourists?!

I never understood this - unless you want to eavesdrop on people? When I lived in France, when speaking with a group of English speakers we always spoke English not French. It was easier.

What do you have wrong ? I go through this, Do you have any painkillers or things that can put you to sleep? I have some things to take the edge off and I can slept now.

It’s in relation to the OP question. I answered my thoughts. Why does it bother you what I think?

Same!!!!!! Loathe them and they make me sneeze. I just don’t see the point 😂 only DH has ever realised and now buys me bike parts instead (each to their own etc etc etc!)

We need a vote on that for those in the same boat :)

I wish I was an only child.

It doesn’t remotely bother me, I am unsure it bothers anyone to be honest whay you think, but it’s a chat forum, I’m a little bored before my next meeting and was curious why you’d think weight loss was about the applause, and not for health.

although to be fair, I did comment up thread I don’t know why people engage with those who think like you as you’ve obvious issues, and broke my own rule 😂

I hate birthdays.
My birthday. I love everyone else’s birthday.
i have been known to drive to a shopping centre and sit in the car for a few hours to avoid being present on my birthday.
It’s tomorrow BTW, so no happy birthdays.

She leaves the price sticker on every single card she sends - to me, to my DH, to our two adult DC. After 41 years of anniversary cards - often sent on the wrong day, and on one memorable occasion to our DD in mistake for a birthday card - with price stickers on, it's long since ceased to be just a family joke.

This time round, something broke in my brain and I just couldn't laugh it off. I'm not proud of my (over-)reaction but my goodness, the relief I felt afterwards was amazing.

I find the existence of human life depressing. I get no enjoyment out of life. I wish I was never born. I’m not suicidal nore am I depressed. If I had the option to choose a peaceful death that I had control over I would take it tomorrow. I smile and carry on doing life as we are told it is. I can’t understand anyone who loves life. What is there to enjoy about working 24/7 and getting 10 years if your lucky retirement. Buy your own home to return it back to the government when you need care. If I admitted this I would end up locked in a mental health facility for life because no one is going to convince me otherwise.

I think I'm on the edge of a mental breakdown - bereavement, separation, shitty divorce that's taking forever and now may end up in court. I hate my job, but have to stay even though my pension payments are being deducted and not paid into the fund due to cashflow issues. Financially, I need to wait and see if it goes into liquidation.

My youngest ds is a nightmare.... I love him so much, but my life would be much easier if I didn't have him.

My second ds (I have 4 dc's) works for my company (I manage it, don't own it), and he's work shy. It drives me to distraction.

I don't hate flowers, but feel like they're a waste of money. I'd rather have a plant.

I told myself for years that I would get over my wife's affair. A decade and a half later, I now know I never will.

I’m not implying it’s an overreaction- I knew you would have your reasons. I still don’t really get why leaving the tag on is upsetting though and am curious about that. For me I’d generally try to remember to remove the tag as the done thing, but it wouldn’t occur to me I might upset someone by doing so. Does it imply to you a lack of caring? It sounds like it may be a bit symbolic of a bigger issue. Or maybe I just wasn’t aware it could be offensive for some.

I wish I hadn’t settled

I am replying about anxiety and depression and not serious psychosis. Even so, all can have treatment but meal ticket for life, no.
As one poster mentioned, the cynical ones are documenting in order to gain benefits.
My parents are from a European country, where charity and family deal with much of this instead and there are no benefits for having ‘anxiety’. I know the faults of both systems and what perpetuates what.

Just say you don't want to do gifts anymore. Easy.

I'm so sorry x.

You’re not alone.

I don’t see the point in any of it.

Humans have been walking the earth for literally minutes relative to its age and we’ve monumentally fucked it all up. All we do is fight and consume and pollute, and for what?

We’re pointless. It’s all bloody pointless - and I’ve felt like that since I was a child.

I'm not sure you understand weight loss jabs @chessbess.

People on them DO just eat significantly less food, like slim people who eat sensibly do. It just gets rid of the want, need, craving to stuff one's face, so I guess that's the part that could feel like cheating?

Personally, call it what you want but I'm 5 stone down in a year and so much happier and healthier. I don't tell people IRL that I'm on it though because it does feel too easy and I'm lucky I can afford it.

I think my views are quite common tbh even if people don’t air them IRL. I often think those that get the most irritated by stuff like this on here are the ones in that situation IRL and they don’t want hear it so continue to challenge other opinions.

People who use balloon arches are balloons themselves.

😆😆😂

Good

Agree
Hopefully the tide will turn and people will reject buying presents just because they have been brainwashed into thinking that's what they should do.
