Things you wouldn't admit in real life part 2

I know it's not much help but have you tried oat water to help soothe the skin? It's helped me with my eczema flares and helps the itch. If must be horrendous to live with

I often fantasise about my personal trainer when I'm masturbating. I definitely wouldn't admit that in real life 😜

I would like to take the weight loss jab as I have baby weight I haven’t been able to lose and I want to feel good like I used to. I am overweight going by my BMI and hating it as I used to be fit.

Name changed for this. I shoplift from self checkouts. It started as an accident, but then became an addiction. I do it partly for the buzz, and partly because I am so angry that the supermarkets are so fucking greedy.

Yeah, I don't understand why that is so hard to believe.
If DH told someone his marriage was sexless, he'd be telling the truth.

Ignore that moron. I know how you feel @Soveryitchy

I’m glad when I hear of trans identified men having surgery as it means they won’t be able to breed.

So they charge the rest of us even more to fund your shoplifting hobby? Nice. Perhaps mention it to an older person at the checkout who can’t afford to put their heating on because they’re prioritising eating over heating.

I didn't think this was a thread for judgement. I'm not a serial killer. Also, they are the real thieves and I'm tired of it. The shrinkflation is out of control, they are taking us for fools and I'm fighting back.

I had the same on Christmas Eve. Were expecting to work til 5pm. No calls coming in after 1pm. By 2pm everyone went home. We got paid the hours not worked.

It was the same with a bank branch I worked at. Working and living in a different city about 100 miles away from where I live now. There were 7-8 banks down the quarter of mile of shops. The others closed at 12pm. We were the only branch left open til 3:30pm. No customers came in as presumed we closed early too. Had a few customers use the ATM outside.

Back to the supermarket job. We had no idea why head office wanted to keep the store open normal hours on bank holidays. As customers presumed we were open Sunday trading hours. So 7-10 and then 16-21 hours hardly anyone in. It was so bloody boring standing in the kiosk when no customers came in. Couldn’t leave it due to about £40k worth of cigs

I never admit in real life that my wonderful husband of 20 years is not my second husband but my third. I’m ashamed to tell anyone as it makes me sound such a failure. Only very very long time friends and family know. I never admit in real life to anyone I’ve met in the last 35 years that there was a first ( abusive) husband that I ran away from with a baby and a toddler only to have a rebound relationship and marriage.
My mother was so appalled that I was the first person in the family to get divorced and “ whatever will the neighbours think”, thought i should stay as i’d “ made my bed and will have to lie in it” - her attitude affected me so much that ever now 40 years later I still don’t admit to it in real life for fear of people’s reactions
Silly I know

My son struggles with neurodiversity so much I worry he will take his own life one day.

He was 6 years old when he first stated telling me he wants to die so he can escape what is happening inside his head. He had meds, play therapy (all private and paid for on my income - solo parent now), EHCP etc. He’s 7 years old now and doing better thank he was, but I am still terrified to go backwards.

I have flashbacks to him saying he wants to die and running out in front of cars on purpose, or throwing himself out of trees at school. It stops me in my tracks, I freeze. I feel silly for having it affect me so much.

I try and stay positive for everyone but deep down I fear the worst for him and it feels like my heart is literally breaking apart.

This is the first time I have admitted I fear this to anyone. Mainly because I feel I have to hold it together. It feels therapeutic to write my feelings down.

You should be proud of the strength you had to get out of abusive relationships and build a happy life. You should ignore your mother as her attitude stinks

I hear you.

As well as those parents who have pushed for an autism diagnosis for their children who are thriving in school, achieving good grades and have loads of friends because they ‘mask’ at school so they’re only obviously autistic at home.

My child is 32, will never live independently, work or have a relationship. They can’t pretend they’re not autistic during office hours. Please don’t pretend we’re both in the same boat.

I judge people who judge people who have the weight loss jabs and call it 'cheating'. I think pathetic women who make their weight their whole life are far more to be looked down on than someone utilising a tool.

I am completely on Israel's side and always have been. 'Palestine' is not a real country.

I’ve got an obsession/infatuation with someone I know from AA meetings. He’s 20 years older than me and a few years sober. I keep relapsing. We’ve been getting close recently and I know it may end in disaster but I really like him.

Me too!

Same.

Similar, and I'm gender critical, so when I'm with my chronically open-minded millenial friends I'm very much like that.

I feel rage when women boast about having large numbers of grandchildren. It’s not or jealousy- it just infuriates me! A woman was telling the company that she had 18 grandchildren and I found it hard to bite my tongue. And I couldn’t say why precisely.🤔😳😏😠

From experience, I know that marriage gets better with practice!

Just change your name to Zsa Zsa Gabor and take pleasure in having improved your life 💗

On the subject of not liking holidays…I feel like a social pariah or a heretic sometimes! I just haven’t got, and never have had, wanderlust. I love a UK short break or a European city break or even…a week in la France profonde occasionally…but I can take it or leave it.

Long haul, the Far East or the Antipodes: NO WAY! Just cannot be arsed. I’m interested and very well informed about these places though because I watch stuff about them on the telly!😀 Suits me to a T.

What the hell, life is short 🤷🏻‍♀️

On paper, you could pick a sober and successful model citizen, but would you understand each other's souls?
