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.
For more, click on our older publications on 'Fesshole' here and here.

... 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.
Unfortunately, there r too many people like that. Luckily, most vets won't do it unless there is truly a valid reason. They will usually just take the cat from the owner and try to find it a new home

How could you put a cat down...or any pet...because you're moving??!?! Really...
My mother's husband had my dog killed the day after my mother died. Some "humans" are just walking s**t in a Edgar-suit.

My dogs previous owner(s) did this, adopted him as a puppy and not even a year later, decides to move back to their home county and drop him off at the shelter they adopted him from instead of taking him with them.. Luckily for us because we got the best dog in the world, but I secretly hate his previous owners, they didn't deserve this precious dog or his love.
Well at least they didn't put him down. Maybe they had other reasons they couldn't take him. I got my cat Gizmo (RIP) because his owners were getting a divorce and moving back to England from the Middle East and it's a six-month quarantine for pets there, whereas when I moved back to Canada a couple years later, my two boys just had to be microchipped and up to date on their rabies shots. Sadly he passed away a few months later at just four years old. Still miss him seven years later!

Good for you. What kind of psycho puts down a perfectly fine animal bc they move?
You don't put a perfectly healthy cat down just because you're moving. Wow.
worst case scenario she might have just said no and then it would look sus if it disappeared. so just easier to save it i suppose. 🤷♀️🤷♂️

I was homeless and kept my dogs in three cheap motels where we lived for 5 years. So anyone who puts an animal down to move is a monster.
You dodged a bullet and YOUR cat got a happy life. I hope that PoS never has the joy of another animal and gets s**t on by every one that passes her by.
That woked out nicely. Got rid of a half-being who will kill a cat to move, and got a pet yourself!
I moved three times with my cat, I can't imagine what was in that crazy woman's mind when she just wanted to put her cat down because of moving.
I agree with you, but it’s not a universal experience for every cat to be absolutely fine, medically and emotionally, during a car journey, especially a potentially many hours long car journey. I’m glad your cat was chill about it all three times though! Lucky you, and your cat.

What a f*****g colossal piece of s**t, just a full on c**t, who kills an animal so they won't be slightly inconvenience.
why not - now, hear me out here - take it with you or gift it to a loving home?
Clearly the woman did not want to take it with her. We don’t know why, but maybe the new place she was moving to did not allow pets or she was driving the moving van to the new place and knew the cat hated car rides or has taken the cat on an airplane before and knows the cat hated every second of the flight. I’m just guessing here, I obviously don’t know what her actual reasoning was. My speculations are valid but there are workarounds to travelling with your cat. I’d like to think that at some point in time, before she got the job in the different city, that she used to like, maybe even love, the cat. Maybe that’s just wishful thinking on my part.

There should be a law against that. And that woman should never be allowed to own another pet.
There is a law against it. At least in the EU, where I live. I don't know about the United States.

Thank you for saving that baby. I hope that wretch of a person is miserable. Putting down an animal because you aren’t taking it on a move…disgusting
Thankyou for giving sweet kitty a good life that he deserved. And thank gods that you dodged a bullet in only dating that woman a few months before the true colours came up.
Glad he didn't stay with such a selfish f*cking b***h. Glad he took the cat as it'd be the most loving pure relationship ever
We shipped 3 cats from Germany to Minnesota when my tour was up. I drove 6 cats from Indianapolis to Reno the long way when my enlistment was up. I drove 4 cats from Minnesota to Southern California when I moved there. No facking excuse!
Every life matters. Thank you for saving this cat from what essentially would have been murder. "I am moving so my cat has to die". F**k that b***h. I hope she never owned animals again.
What a truly horrible person she was. No regard for life. Can't imagine a person so low that they would rather put a perfectly healthy animal down when it's so easy to find them a new home. Probably a good thing she moved out of your life. So glad this kitty got a home where he was loved and appreciated.
Well, I guess the one reason she came into your life was for you to save the poor cat from such a horrible human being. At least she confessed her plan in advance so he could take action, I guess. I suppose he realized what kind of person she was as soon as she said that and stopped being sad about her leaving.
That's beautiful but couldn't you just ask her to let you have the cat?
that woman is one of the reasons why i despise the human race so so much. i wish people like that nothing but the worst.
I'm glad you and the cat had a better life with each other and without her.
The fact that OP is basically saying they dated this woman for her cat 🤣🤣 Wonder if the woman wanted to do away with it because everyone she dated fell in love with the cat instead... +"Please don't leave!!😫" -"OMG, really?! You want me to stay?! 😃" +""Yes! I really, really love... your cat." -😖
When a couple splits up and they have pets, all of a sudden it's "no time, inconvenient or whatever"... I wonder what they'd do if they had children? The same? You have a pet, you take care of it till the end of their life or you seek a good home fire them because they are innocent. All that bs about putting them down or sending them to a shelter is just convenient... I never wish anyone any harm, but I wouldn't shed a tear if they got a miserable life after...
I truly do not understand people having pets put down for no reason, if they are not ill or dying. Can someone explain to me why people do this?
Thank you for giving that kitty the best years of his life. You’re a great human being.
This cat savior is a galactic hero. Many lifetimes of good karma were earned.
You did the right thing. You got the best of that pair in the bargain.
One of my ex-boyfriend's dad had a dog and he wanted to move to Russia, so he planned on shooting the dog. Thank the stars, they let me take care of her instead and we had some amazing years together. She was the kindest soul and had never learned what it's like to be pet and praised. When she learned that it's nothing bad, she would frequently come and seek out cuddles. I miss her <3
Good for u! What a awful thing to do, pit an animal down just because u move! Yuck! She should've been put down lol
Not a sin at all. She wished to be relived of the cat, and you accomplished that for her all on your own. (But why didn't you just openly offer to take it?)
Because she could say no and then it would look weird that the cat dissapered

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.
Not enough people do trade jobs so they don’t understand how stable and lucrative they can be.
You can still enjoy domestic holiday. I don't really see the point of going nearly broke for a week of vacation. Mind you, even domestic holiday could be expensive, bit you can break it down to 2-3, maybe 4 days instead for whole week or even longer.
What a flaghole (the racist neighbor, not the master of chaos messing with his nuts).
My niece is obsessed with the kid's YouTube channel called "A for Adley". I admit it's a pretty wholesome family channel, but it doesn't change the fact that it gets pretty annoying very quickly. My SIL told me, whenever I'm babysitting her and she starts binging that channel, I can just go into her bedroom and read. It's much more peaceful than hearing "THE FLOOR IS LAVA!!!" every 5 GD minutes. Don't worry, guys, I put a stop to the screen time after a while and we do something more interactive. But when it's on, the goddamn floor is goddamn lava again.
I completely get this. Although they failed to use an Oxford comma themselves, which is disappointing.
He will get a $50 camera soon and people will lose jobs. Hm. Not that likely story TBF; once or twice I can believe more nope.
I did the same thing... Although my bad experiences are in the double digits (dentist did not ever give me Novocain when I was a kid... and hit a nerve everytime ( and laughed about it). Was told i had 5 cavities... waited 10 yrs was talked into going to a dentist... and it was a miracle... I was healed NO cavities! Now I physically get sick when I HAVE to go because of pain. ( just lost a cap and will wait for pain to go... fck I HATE dentists.)
proper question, did anyone who he was presenting it to realize that it was such?
That's the way I do it too, saw someone doing it that way when I was a kid and copied them.
Blue Peter for any none Brits is a very long running children show where you can get a Blue Peter badge for certain things and they are very highly sort after. I wanted one so badly as a child!
At least this person has a conscience - there's a lot of shocking stuff on this thread!
If I was a mutual friend and saw you had liked them, even if I thought the art was awful, I would just see a good friend supporting their friends hobby! I wouldn't judge
I'm sorry but that was NOT a proposal. Make it obvious, don't assume the other person would automatically know what you mean
That is someone who is very comfortable in their own sexuality, and is honoured that the gays fancy him. Well done sir!
I do exactly the same, it works a treat. Quite happy to put £1 in the donation tin, however those days are gone, every single charity wants a monthly direct debit. They can just get lost with that madness. Also works with any other subscription based nuisance like breakdown cover or a TV service.
Hmm - similar T shirt - once stayed an extra year in a bad relationship because he was so good at housework.
You can buy a teabag holder dish for less than $10 and put it next to the sink. Cheaper than a divorce.
Okay....let's not make the wife look like the bad guy here. Her husband is cheating on her and he's getting annoyed at her for being paranoid. Screw that guy. His wife deserves better.
That's the thing about politics. It's not a team sport, you don't have to subscribe to a party line, and most people are independant whether they know it or not. This whole left v right thing is just a manufactured culture war to distract from real problems and real solutions in favor of clicks and rage votes.
Someone else has this number and you are making their life miserable.
You share blame, you should have brought up the price when you agreed
This is actually more likely to go poorly for you then it is for him.
If this is the UK it wouldn’t work. It’s illegal to tamper with a voting form and erasing something would render the form null and void.
And you don't think that could still happen just with two women? Does the housewife dynamic only exist for heterosexual relationships? I doubt it, you can still be a homebody and still be a stay at home mother in a gay relationship so how is marriage to a woman going to make any difference? If that's your nature or your choice, how is who you are married to going to affect that? Do you imagine that all lesbian marriages look like two gals living their best life going out the whole time and bein child free? Some do and some straight marriages do but some marriages both gay and straight look more traditional..
Just... work something out between you. An open and honest relationship will make your marriage SO much healthier. If there's something you want to buy but don't have enough pocket money to, talk to your wife and figure out how you can settle this. But don't HIDE that from her; that's just going to make things worse. (This is my opinion, you don't have to agree with it)
Why? That's not the way to treat a friend. If you don't like the dog, just stop watching it or better yet, go buy yourself a can of tuna.
I'm sorry but if you're in a relationship with a person whom you adoringly love this shouldn't be a problem. Sure it might effect you for a week or so, but go on a date, get dressed up, flirt. If something like this ruins your relationship then you will never have a close long term partner.
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. ^_^

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.
