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.
Even the vet agreed to do this these must have been some horrible kids and the parents of the kids just let a BUNNY get abused ?!!?
To be fair, young children dont know how to take care of and therefore shouldnt be responsible for a pet

Don't mind me grinning at my computer, just fantasizing about a rabbit that "died"
I would absolutely love someone returning the favor and abuse that family horridly matter while showing absolutely no mercy.
I feel so bad for the bunny, it must have been terrible if the vet agreed.
Imagine how clear the evidence of abuse had to be for the vet to fake its death to the owner on the word of a stranger. I bet those little brats cried like their favorite toy broke.
In the US, rabbits are viewed as pets for children. Rabbits are *terrible* pets for 95%+ of children. Most are left at the shelter in October, when the cute baby bunny they got for Easter is a hormonal adolescent and the children have restarted school and stop caring for it. Much of the information out about caring for them as pets is appallingly outdated. People don't want to pay for them to be spayed/neutered, so the rabbit usually dies of reproductive cancer at only 3-4 years(altering a rabbit literally doubles their life span or more). Rabbits as prey animals don't broadcast when they are unwell, so they need attentive humans. As pets, rabbits do best with a large indoor space and a litter pan. Rabbits are tiny zen masters who just might reward your care and love with affection, but entirely on their terms. Bless this person for their rescue and for loving that bunny for years.
I babysit for this family that has some Guinea pigs. They don't trim their nails at all because "it hurts the animal." I feel so bad for them and really want to help the little guys. They can't walk normally because of their nails.
Bc kids dont understand what theyre doing is wrong

But if you ever babysit for kids who are themselves abused, this is not your blueprint for action.
Our first cat was abused by the owners. Beaten & starved. Neighbours intervened when they were out and grabbed her and took her to a cat rescue where we met her. Sweet beautiful and shy, she knew she was safe with us. Broke my heart when she died suddenly at 5. But Animal abusers are pieces of s**t. Total psychos.
My sister and BIL didn’t take care of their two cats very well, and when they went on vacation for a month, I just just took them home and never gave them back. When I went to feed them, the one severely overweight orange one who stayed mostly in their basement, cried when I called for him, this lonely, heart-wrenching cry. Into my truck he went. I put him on a diet and exercise plan and got him down from 24 lbs to 18. The other was a calico who was so mean, but turns out she just didn’t like living with them because she became the sweetest thing at my house. Curled up on the couch with my husband. He cried when she died and still can’t talk about her. She had an undiagnosed thyroid problem which they just ignored but she was fine with daily medication.
We had a bunny like this, but were given permission from the dad. He said his kids weren’t doing their part like they promised so it “died” and came to live with us.
I don't think this is 100% accurate. Asking a vet - someone who spent years of their life studying - to falsify records based on an allegation from a patient? Yeah right.
That's BS, no veterinarian would do that and risk losing their license
Nice story but I find it difficult to believe any vet would do this, regardless of the situation.
If the vet saw signs of the claimed abuse to corroborate her story, they just might.

No OP saved the bunny from dying from all that abuse. Do you even care about the bunny do you want it to be abused because it sounds like it. If I was in this situation I would do the same thing because we don’t deserve our pets, they do so much for us.

"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.
This would have been the best thing ever....lol I would have laughed so damn hard 🤣
I hate to even question this but unless you had explosive diarrhea, it's doubtful it would make a sound when the coined up poo hit the water.
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. ^_^

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.

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
