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’m sorry you feel that the only proof your parents loved you is them keeping your stuff for 40 years. How very sad.

That exactly! I love you so much, so watch some of the prettiest creations of nature decompose in front of your eyes, it baffle me, here is some corpse, enjoy 😳. Give me a plant, I will look after it and always think of you when I do.
Full disclosure I am ND obviously 😂.

I’m in my late fifties now and I’ve only claimed benefits for the past two years whereas I have been mentally ill and struggling to cope with my career for over thirty years so there is no contradiction in what I have said.

Well it’s good you no longer saw it as a shameful secret and it’s resulted in an extra £13k a year in your pocket on top of your million!

I'm really good friends with DS's stepmother. Have been for a few years. Something my child's father, family and friends don't know.

Me and her have great craic.

Why such vitriol @Andprettygood?

Does your child at least know? Surely that be a real reassurance for them to know that you have such a positive relationship with his step mum?

I have a massive crush on my ndn..I often have naughty fantasy's about us together. Im married he's single

Where’s the vitriol

You said you resented how open people were about their MH when you had kept it a shameful secret for years

I was pointing out that given you receive PIP for your MH, it wasn’t that much of a shameful secret

you said that you’ve only received for 2 years

so you’ve benefited surely from the opening up of talking about MH illness as it empowered you to apply for benefits and you’re now in receipt of £13k a year on top of million assess

Why does applying for PIP mean that my MH issues are no longer kept secret? I’m speaking about it on a thread for things I wouldn’t admit IRL.
The reason I applied was that the value of the ESA benefits was automatically deducted from my income protection payments irrespective of whether I received those benefits.
Do you think I shouldn’t be claiming the benefits I am entitled to because I have a lot of assets?

Well presumably you told DWP and spoke with assessors?

Do you think I shouldn’t be claiming the benefits I am entitled to because I have a lot of assets?

knock yourself out 🤷‍♀️

I don’t give a hoot!

It's a fact that African countries on average have a much lower obesity rate than European countries. If you don't believe food quality and quantity have anything to do with it, I'd love to hear your explanation.

Last I checked, the average British diet is around 60% upfs. In a country like Italy it's around 20%. Upfs are purposefully designed to be compulsive, making you want to eat more without actually feeling properly full for very long.

Then food habits like eating snacks all the time, drinking empty calorie drinks, cultural habits like starting the day with sugary cereal etc also play a role in health and weight outcomes.

Obesity is so very obviously linked to food that I don't understand how anyone can argue otherwise. It's like saying building muscle isn't linked to exercise.

Just think of the extreme cases e.g. the Scottish man who fasted for 382 days. So he didn't eat for 382 days and, surprise suprise, he lost weight, going from 207kg to 82kg. (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angus_Barbieri%27s_fast).

Not that I think everyone should rush out and follow his example, but it does make crystal clear that no/less food = weight loss.

I love smoking and drinking. I dont do it much bar the occasional night out, but feel bored with life most of the time when im not😅

All your replies suggest otherwise 🤷

My husband always goes on about how he hates people who wee in the shower. So pretty much every time and I’m in the shower I squeeze one out, wash away the evidence and think ha ha sucker

External locus of control, you see it in the police shows where they get stopped for drink driving, are already banned, don't have tax/insurance etc. Everyone else's fault - it's fascinating as someone with a very overactive internal locus of control.

Oh, do piss off.

🤷‍♀️

I went off him when I found out he slept with 13 year olds when he was in his 20s.

There is no debate to be had. High calorie high fat food and processed crap are what makes people overweight. That’s why the government are wanting to put taxes on unhealthy stuff to try to help the population become healthy.

I see you are giving goady, spiteful comments to other people posts too

i truly start to believe that i did raise my kids differently from one another ... i was very strict with the first one and always tough she was more mature than her age, the second i did the opposite and my daughter resent it and i feel i failed her

I'm not sure how I feel about people is normal.
I had an abusive childhood which I think made me not have the building blocks of normal relationships.
I don't know anyone from my childhood, and whilst as a person, people think I'm a really good person. I force myself to be. It's all intentional but not natural to be nice.
Sometimes I feel the mask slip and I have to almost recoup the ability to keep up the act of giving a shit about anyone.
I care about my kids, I think. But outside of them, not really.
People would be shocked, because I'm the one running around after people I shouldn't be, for example, exes mother. I run around for her, offer to go to the GP with her, take her for her appts, get shopping in etc but I don't really feel anything beneath the thought, oh I should do...

@ForeverDelayedEpiphany how sad for your birth mother. May she rest in peace x
