50 Anonymously Shared Secrets That People Wouldn’t Dare To Confess In Real Life (New Posts)
Disclosing our secrets reduces stress and helps us come to terms with our behavior. So the fact that some of the most powerful people or institutions in many cultures encourage people to admit their transgressions is no coincidence. Nor is the huge number of followers behind the Twitter account 'Fesshole.'
It enables people to anonymously confess "their sins" and countless have already turned to it for a shot at internet absolution. So let's see if we can give them exactly that, shall we?
We at Bored Panda compiled some of the wildest submissions 'Fesshole' has recently received, so put on your confessor hat (or pick up a scepter, whatever works for you), and continue scrolling to check out what some evil-doers have been up to.

It doesn't sound stupid at all! And I'm so very sorry for your loss. No parent should ever outlive their child. Brought a tear to my eye.
Nah. It's like the reason I saved a loved ones voice mails. I can still listen to him.
It's not at all stupid, you go ahead and honour her memory in whatever way feels right to you.
This is so heartwarming. It’s not stupid at all! It’s your way of staying close with your daughter even if she’s no longer here. I am so sorry for your loss.
that a way of coping and have something to be connecting with her despite her passing
This is your enduring love for your child and that can never be stupid!
I’m sorry for your loss. Also, you are in a way sharing something with your daughter. This is very special and I would think it was very sweet if someone told me this.
It doesn't sound stupid at all and it's something I would do, too. I'm so very, very sorry for your loss but you play My Little Pony every day for the rest of your life for your baby. Just think how many coins she'll have when you finally meet again.
awww that's so sweet. I'm so sorry for your loss. To die so young is horrible.
Parents of passed children hold onto their toys (or games!) pretty much forever. I would, too.
It seems that this person misspelled "sweet" when they typed stupid.
You possibly feel stupid, (you’re not!), because you are struggling to move on. Fact is that grief isn’t an event; it is a chronic situation that will stay with you. How you cope with that is very individual so keep logging on.
That is NOT AT ALL STUPID. It’s rational and comforting and to hell with anyone who thinks otherwise.
My mom passed away on Mother's Day this year and I still am texting her. They messages have just recently stopped being delivered but I still text her. Grieving is a unique experience for everyone. Do whatever makes you feel close to your daughter.
what anybody else would think isn't important mate.. that's a special thing between you and your little one.. losing a child is devastating and finding comfort in our own way belongs 2 us and only us.. I feel your pain mate😞💔
Omg this stopped me in my tracks. I have a chronically ill daughter whose life ran around mlp, still does but she has moved from ponies to cats. This is the most beautiful thing, I'm glad he has that to offer him memories of her in a tangible way. So so sweet, and certainly nothing to be ashamed of. We all cope as best we can.
That is NOT stupid. I'm glad you have a piece of her life to still interact with.
It is not at all stupid sounding. It is beautiful. My heart goes out to you, my condolences
I don't think it's in the least bit stupid.... I am sorry that our society creates such an environment that you are inclined to hide such a thing... may you continue to carry on in the vacuum, and by sharing this when able, also help someone else carry on as well. Like me <3
My son passed away last year. I still call his number and I've downloaded the ringtone that I used for his number. Beyond that, know that I know. We're a silent army but we find each other in so many places. Broken, shattered hearts. We find each other. Along the journey of sorts we meet angels that help us along. Maybe just by making something easier when we need it. And we see signs that our child is not far away. I know one day my son will reach his hand out to me and say, "Come on Mom, you can stop crying now."
I'm so sorry about the loss of your daughter. I don't think it's stupid at all, honestly I don't think anyone would. It's a connection to your daughter. Hugs
That's possibly the farthest thing from stupid. I'm so sorry that happened
Awe, that broke my heart, im so sorry for ur loss ♥️ Sending all the feels/vibes
That's not stupid, it's you understandably using this as a means to control your greif, and a means to stay connected to your baby.... No words can be used to explain why this is soooooo normal, understandable, and above all, precious.
I know a woman who hates beer, but drinks a Miller Lite a few times a year for her father who passed a few years ago.
Not stupid at all. It gives you a connection to your daughter. I bet she'd be overjoyed to know you do this. It's incredibly heartwarming and I am so sorry for your loss.
F*****G WARN US!!!!!!! I didn't expect that. I thought the sobbiest I would likely find was the guy who stole his ex's cat before she could have him put down.
I'm so very sorry for your loss. May she Rest in Peace and fly with the Angels.
My Condolences, it's makes you feel she still here & she be happy to see those coins. U will stop when the pain 💔 slowly starts to heal, when I don't know, but, don't worry about it. You just remembering memories
That does not sound stupid at all - it sounds sweet. So sorry to hear your little angel passed away.
That is the farthest thing from stupid that I have ever heard. I'm so sorry for your loss 😞
So sorry for your loss, that's not stupid at all. You just go ahead and keep doing what you like. My daughter is going to be six and I cannot bear to think about life without her. My heart goes out to you and yours.
It's not stupid. Anything you need to do to find comfort is ok.
When my ex passed away I used to send text messages to his phone number, until one day someone replied, it both scared the sh*t out of me and made me sad at the same time… it doesn’t sound stupid at all… we all grieve differently. ❤️
It's not at all stupid. Anyone dealing with such a terrible loss would understand
It's not at all stupid. Anything that helps you deal with her loss is entirely up to you. Anyone grieving a loss would understand
Oh honey, that does NOT sound stupid..... it's very sweet and I'm sure ANYONE would understand. I'm so sorry you lost your baby girl 💔
That's not at all stupid! That is absolutely incredibly sweet 🥺🥺I am so sorry for your loss love❤️
That's not stupid, that is one of the sweetest things I've ever heard. I am so sorry for your loss - what you are doing sounds like a wonderful way to remember your daughter. I think it's very very sweet
Oh honey that isn’t stupid. It’s actually to TOTAL opposite of stupid. I am so very sorry for your loss. I think you keeping that up is an AMAZING thing. If it brings u comfort that’s all that matters. I will keep u n my thoughts
That does not sound stupid. It sounds like love. And immense sorrow.
Not stupid at all what a wonderful way to keep her close.... Sorry for your loss
... put a cat down, just because you move? Seriously, I hope this sad excuse of an attempt to be a halfway human POS never had any fun in its life again. Fück these people, whatever treats some sentient living being, who likely loved that thing, like that doesn't deserve its feelings to be taken into account anywhere, and if, then only to make sure it hasn't any chance to have fun.
In The Secret Life of Secrets, Dr. Michael Slepian, the Sanford C. Bernstein & Co. Associate Professor of Leadership and Ethics at Columbia Business School, explained that we can draw a line between secrecy and privacy by considering secrecy as an intention to hold specific information back, and privacy as a reflection of how much we broadcast personal information, in general.
Generally, people who are more private require closeness before they let you in. Yet those who are less private may be happy to disclose personal information, not just to friends and family, but to coworkers, acquaintances, and even people they’ve just met as well.
You may not want to discuss your sexual experiences at work out of concern for privacy (and for what is appropriate), however, this is very different from wanting to keep some specific experience a secret. In both cases, you are taking control of your personal information, but for different reasons.
"Aside from sex, money is another example of something you may not talk about but may not be intentionally keeping secret," Slepian wrote. "You might not talk about your paycheck out of concern for privacy, rather than wanting nobody to ever know what it looks like."
"At the same time, there may be other specifics you intend to keep hidden, such as a particularly unwise financial decision. These examples help us see that privacy and secrecy can coexist, and there can be gray area in between. So, can we ever really separate them? Yes, and the person who knows best—whether something is private or secret—is you."
... and did you get yourself checked out? Because if your wife didn't even remotely recognize the smell (and yes, she knows the normal smell), there might be something wrong with you, too.
Who cares if your dog is ugly. Dogs can be amazing and also ugly at the same time. You can't become a neighbourhood menace just because someone thought your dog was ugly.
During his research, Slepian discovered that the more immoral we consider a personal experience or action, the more it feels like a secret, rather than something that is merely private.
He also found that the more we think others would find the information relevant to their own lives, the more something unsaid feels like secrecy instead of privacy.
Aw, I get why you did this. My mum died 13 years ago and my dad this year. I miss them both terribly every.single.day.
He learned this from a study involving 1,000 participants in committed relationships. "I asked the participants to think about something they had not disclosed to their romantic partner," the psychologist said.
"This was easy for them to do. We all have many such things, ranging from the consequential to the mundane. Some of the things people hadn't disclosed were acts they considered highly immoral, like cheating on their partner and misrepresenting their past. The participants said that these felt very much like secrets. But other things did not seem immoral. For example, one participant told me he quite enjoys having the apartment to himself, and doesn’t mind when his partner is away for the weekend. In fact, it makes him quite happy."
"Another participant told me that her partner doesn’t know how much she spends on yarn. These things didn’t feel like they mattered all that much, and so not mentioning them didn’t feel like keeping secrets," Slepian noted.
Well now I'll never stop wondering what franchise that was and whether I've seen ET Ballsack.
a lot of times my to do list is things I have done. instead of a never ending list of demands... I am faced with a list of satisfaction ( and I can see I have actually accomplished a lot)
Slepian said people are often wondering if they're more secretive than the average person.
"When we start talking about tendencies for secrecy, we bump right up into personality psychology," he said. "A common way of measuring personality is to ask about five broad traits: Openness (open to new experiences and to things being complicated), Conscientiousness (organized, disciplined), Extraversion (enthusiastic, social), Agreeableness (polite, eager to please), and Neuroticism (the less polite word for high negative emotion; many prefer to call this “low emotional stability” instead)."
(If you ever need to remember this information straight away just remember the acronym OCEAN.)
It would be seriously satisfying if someone filmed this. I'd email it to the prick everyday for as long as I needed to feel vindicated (or until the baastard had a mental breakdown - whichever came first).
"My research finds that someone who is more secretive (whether having had many experiences from the list or just a few) tends to be less extraverted and less emotionally stable, but more conscientious," Slepian said.
Additionally, the profile of a person more likely to get involved in the kinds of situations that people keep secret is that of someone who is open, extraverted, and emotionally stable, but less agreeable and less conscientious.
This IMO has little to do with IQ. If you never learnt, you cannot do it. Good luck learning (says the woman who replaces the laces with elastics because she just can't be bothered).
Agree. I had the same reaction when my son was diagnosed with autism. But yesterday, we were driving past a new development of houses near a pond. I pointed to it and asked him if he knew why it was a bad idea to build houses so close to a pond and he responded with "Tidal waves?" We laughed for about ten minutes before I said "mosquitos."
Welcome to the world of engineering we ll spend 5 hrs for a 5min fix
Very good! I had a non-stick pan that I was very protective of. My mother knew she couldn't use it, and never did. Then she had a friend stay over who offered to cook, and used My Pan, and utterly ruined it. She didn't even offer to buy a new one because in her mind it was still good. My mom got me a new pan, but I'm still hurt.
Peng = very attractive for those like me who didn’t know what that meant lol
I think there might be something wrong with the connection between my eyes and my brain. I've been seeing things from the corner of my eyes that aren't there and reading words that don't exist. Three times I read "A child kept licking my seat...". I'm beginning to wonder if this isn't just a weird glitch that will straighten itself out.
When I was a kid I actually asked my mother what happened to the coins people threw into the fountain at the mall, and she said "the people who clean the fountain get to have it". An answer which I still quite like to this day.

I’m all for being petty and vindictive to people who have wronged but a lot of these people are just cruel to people who haven’t done anything to them. All they are doing is sending evil out into the world.
There are better ways of getting back at people than being petty and vindictive. Kill 'em with kindness, make a request, negotiate a solution, make them your friend (strategically), put a mention in to the higher-ups (in a constructive way), etc. Being petty and vindictive just keeps the negativity going, even when one feels justified.
Load More Replies... Stood aside to let a young mother with a pram get onto the escalator ahead of me. Little did she realise that the polite young lady was actually just trying to put a nice big gap between herself and the incredibly smelly guy who had just gotten on.
Fortunately by this point Mr Me No Shower was already well ahead of both of us, so happy ending. ^_^

If anyone saw some of my comments and is interested, or not, I’m doing it anyways, during the course of this post I half swallowed/then threw up my hard candy five times from laughing.
My husband is a cancer survivor (50/50) and gets high anxiety at the mention of cancer. He hyperventilates and takes hours to calm down. It takes days for him to relax after his annual checkups. He's been in remission for 10 years and has two years before he's deemed cured. I was diagnosed with cervical cancer in late 2019 and had an emergency hysterectomy to remove it all. He thinks I had it done due to irregular bleeding and nothing more. Since I don't need chemo or radiation (just the occasional blood test) I've told no one. No need to make him stress over it.
Yep, this is a British twitter feed. We're just as f--d up, but funnier about it.

I invented a time machine, traveled back and created the concept of jobs. In my time line you all smiled at all times, but then Dave, yes that Dave cut in front of me in line, so you can blame All of your problems on Dave it's his fault you all suffer now.
Tell him no more sex and see how in love you he is. He can still be a father to his kids so he can stop the s****y lying to their mother or you're just a side chick for a garbage person
