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.

I comment on MN threads ...

Sometimes I start a comment but then delete without posting ...

Because I don't enjoy parenting at all, and it takes an enormous amount of effort to be a good mother. I am easily overstimulated & bored , I shouldn't have brought children into this world.

Haha I love this

I am secretly enjoying the fact that a neighbour with six cars (!) who makes parking a pain has just had 4 of them clamped by the DVLA for not being taxed.
And no I did not report him

I find listening to people talk about their problems (with work or whatever) painfully tedious. I love chatting but cannot stand being an ear. I never do this to people either as I find it so tiring to listen to myself. My friends would never know this about me.

Using fat jabs is cheating

I agree.
I use them.
I don't give a flying fuck 😂

I have an immediate dislike of certain words that seem to be used a lot on MN. I don’t say it irl because I don’t use MN irl of course.

• naice (🤢)
• baffled
• flabbergasted

There are more.

I love sleeping alone

I get fed up of listening to my mum's monologues. If i am poorly she will immediately drone on about her broken nail for 10 minutes. When there was a power cut in my area she started bleeting about how food was cooked when she was a child. I have heard the story a million times. If i ended up in icu her hayfever would be far more important.

I agree with you. Who cares if its cheating or not?
btw I don't use them and choose not to.

This is me too. I have deliberately ensured my circle of people has become smaller and smaller in order to protect myself and give me a sense of safety. I have missed opportunities throughout my life as a result of self esteem and I can be easily bullied because I become so triggered whenever I encounter domineering or forceful people. I'm sure I'll look back on my life when I'm lying on my deathbed and have thousands of regrets.

Every time I go to an airport, I imagine slipping off to the toilet to hide, then boarding a flight to anywhere, on my own. Leaving my family behind. The feeling isn’t as strong now I have children, but it was a real battle to not go through with it when it was just me and DH. Quite disturbing really.

I dislike most of my family with the exception of my brother and cousins on my Dad's side. My Mum is very critical and we rarely speak, her bf has made it very clear he's only interested in my Mum and wants little or preferably nothing to do with her children, he has also been very rude about my weight in public. My Mum's two sisters never speak to me, at a family picnic I got no more than a hello, at my wedding even my 8 year old cousin commented on the fact we don't know each other. I get a birthday and christmas card from my grandmother but little other contact. Despite my husband mentioning my disability at my wedding 2 years ago, none of them have called to inquire about my health. My paternal grandparents, aunt and uncle are all dead.

I have fairly kinky sexual interests, nobody but my husband and best friend know that i'm bisexual.

I’m in a long, boring meeting at work and reading this thread instead. I really don’t care about my job. We’re a business that makes money from other businesses. I’m hoping our largest client leaves and I get made redundant. I’m quite good at acting like I’m interested in what is happening but I really couldn’t give a rats arse about any of it!

Agreed! I get the impression that people wear ADHD as a badge of honour. Do people think that they will gain some advantage from saying that they have autism. (Note: I am certainly not suggesting that many people who have serious autism are faking, but those cases are fairly obvious). In a recent thread someone said that they had failed the test for one or other of these and were disappointed. If someone suggested that I was normal I’d be quite pleased.

Love seeing BMWs with a parking ticket for parking on DYL, overstaying their time etc!

I feel the exact same (not the gluten), I love being on my own, I love being boring, I love doing nothing, I am not ambitious, I hate seeing people, I hate social niceties although I understand the need for them.

That's made me feel SO much better!

I am very, very careful to never show it (to those of you who think that's impossible, I assure you I'm so fair & loving to all of them) & would never admit it to anyone, but DS1 is & always has been so easy. I adore all 3 of them, but my heart lights up a little more for him. I feels terrible writing it, and I know im a really good mother to all of them, but I can't stop that feeling.

Found my people. Let’s never meet! 🤭

This is intriguing... why didn't you trust them? Did they not really have anything wrong with them?

I don't like bagpipes.

You didn’t love him @Reallyneedsaholiday but for a very long time you were “very happy”?

Did he know you didn’t love him? Or did you tell him you loved him but you didn’t?

They probably know your not joking… people are rarely as good at the sarcasm as a joke thing as they think they are…

I've always thought I'd be okay if I got washed up on a desert island. As long as I could feed myself, had somewhere to shelter and could watch the sea for entertainment, I could do without people everything else.

I bear grudges sometimes; even when what the person said or did is irrelevant, especially on an anonymous internet forum. I've just seen a username that madey hackles raise.
