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.

... 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.
unless it was for the boys, and they were too embarrassed to get them.

Is anyone going to mention the sex tourism that has plagued the Czech Republic since at least the 80’s and how, when a group of guys travel there for a “boys weekend” they’re not hooking up with randoms they meet at clubs, but often underage & almost always manipulated into hooking at the train depots, subway stops and near touristy nightlife??? I’m not shaming empowered secs workers or open marriages, but consider who he and his pals were going to try to use those condoms on. I was there a couple weeks ago & saw very young girls in puffer jackets and skirts so low I could see their trim. And it was cold! Eyes that looked like plates & no way they’re over 20. Probably not over 16. Ya, I’d leave his a*s, too!
Exactly his intentions were pretty clear and that's just gross to bring that into your marital bed. Bye bye!

Immoral action not withstanding, a cleverer guy would have bought the condoms once at the destination.

It's a confession, as she went through his luggage before he went

It's not necessarily snooping. When we go on vacation I sometimes dig around in my bfs bag to see if I need to pack certain shared items or not or open it to put something in there of mine or of is that he forgot.

I hope the condoms were for him, and not his buddies, otherwise he's lost his marriage for trying to keep his friends safe
Sounds bs, why was she in his luggage and why would he not buy them there. 99% of these are clearly fantasy.
Probably safe to assume all these 'boys' were also married. Hope it ruined the entire trip for all of them.
"Oh, dear, I tripped on the stairs and fell into some young lady's vajayjay."
How stupid, condoms would have been much cheaper in Prague... 🙄🤦
Then he wouldn’t “hide” them in the luggage. If he didn’t have anything to hide it would be in the open
Load More Replies... Nice level of trust (in both directions) ... Tell me,... Why are you married again?
I agree, but trust isn’t blind & unfettered. People make mistakes; bad choices. We keep each other honest or loyal or faithful. Clearly she knew she had reason to be suspicious, confirmed it and decided to move on.

Well guess he really did get f****d. Be careful what you ask for...you just might get it.
Bruh but what if he was just holding them for a friend like 99% of guys do.
My SO and I have absolutely no secrets for eachother, we know each other's pin codes, pass words and where to find anything, just in case it's necessary. The guy wasn't "hiding" that box of condoms, he was hoping his wife would find them so she works serve him with divorce papers and he could play the victim in the future...
Talk about a drama cliffhanger post! We need updates. Was there groveling on his return?
Had to reread the headline and realized that he defo was up to something.

Don’t say “boys weekend” when talking about adult males, even if the adults in question are acting like children. It’s gross. Also, I can’t help but wonder why she thought to check his luggage! Did she suspect he was cheating before this trip? I don’t disagree with her actions but I’m curious to why she thought she needed to check his luggage if she might not have suspected him of infidelity.
There's definitely been issues before now if the bag was being checked. I wouldn't even think of checking my husbands bag if he was going away for the weekend unless it was to put something in it and even that'd be an effort 🙈🤣
An unhappy surprise when he tried his key in his door.

I guess he bought others when he found that note ... there are more than 1 use for condoms, but i guess, where is no trust...
"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.

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
