While it’s true that “getting something off your chest” can be helpful, the truth is that some folks have done or thought things which can be a bit difficult to process. While the majority of the population understands that some things are best swept under the rug, in the right circumstances secrets can still come out.

This was about 6 months ago now. My brother and I were getting drunk one night because it was the weekend and we just wanted to get f****d up and play videogames. We had done plenty of shots and plenty of drinks and we were the definition of *f****d up*. We were having fun playing some old WaW Zombies for nostalgia, and we paused it to grab some chips. As I was grabbing the salsa, he said to me that he had tried committing s***ide about a month prior to this. He had taken some pills and they pumped his stomach and s**t, and he told me the whole time he was thinking of me and how s****y and depressed I'd be if he had died and that he'd never want to lose me. I told him I had also tried committing s***ide a while ago and I thought the exact same thing about him. We continued playing Zombies while talking about everything under the moon, and we've been talking every day since, have never missed and will never miss a day. Were both doing a lot better now and were both in therapy, its nice having someone to talk to and trust about these things.
Edit: Thanks for the awards, yall. But instead of gifting me stuff, check on your friends and family, and especially people you haven't talked to in a bit, sometimes we're just too depressed to try initiating conversation.

Not so much as a confession, but the moment I realised he was seriously messed up...
I was living with my parents to help my sick mother. Dad came home absolutely wasted, and decided to have a really in depth conversation with me.
Asked about my depression, some traumatic things that had happened to me... He was really listening to me for the first time in my life. I felt seen and heard. We talked about what triggered my depression, s***idal thoughts etc. He genuinely listened.
Then just stared me straight in the eyes with the most cruel smile on his face and said *"now I know. I'm going to push and push and push. We'll see how long it takes until you k*ll yourself" *
I moved out the next day. Everyone told me to forget it/forgive it because he was drunk. I've never stayed with them since, and try to avoid my dad as much as possible. With his previous behaviours, I could see him following through...
**Edit**
I am completely floored by the amount of support and comments... Thank you all.
I posted this because it was a messed up situation. Apparently I didn't realise quite how bad it was. My normal meter has been broken for a long time, thank you for helping me to "fine tune" it, if you will.
I wasn't expecting this response, so if I don't reply, please know I will still read your comments, it's just a lot to take in. Thank you for your support ❤️.

I had that father. No one ever believed me as he was beloved by all. The favorite uncle, brother in law, son in law, you name it. But behind closed doors.....yeah. He is gone now and its still not over as he deliberately left a mess for us to deal.with in the form.of his equally aweful second wife.

Showering off my blackout drunk father because he had s**t himself when he starting bawling and confessed to being pinned down and r*ped by his brother's friends.
Edit: this comment took off so I'll elaborate a bit on the FAQs. I was 16 when this happened. He worked an early shift so he was always home when I'd get home from school and would be drunk on the average 4 days a week. He was never abusive or angry, just distant. But in that moment when he blurted it out I could see the pain and weight he was carrying through the tears. I was obviously in total shock, so I just let him sob and talk as I listened. I finished washing him off then got him to bed where he slept it off. He was blackout drunk so I knew he'd never remember the conversation, so I kept it to myself. Other than my therapist I've never told a soul until now. He blamed himself, and there's unfortunately still a stigma surrounding men and admitting sexual a*****t, but it does happen to them too and needs to be addressed. My father dealt with it in an unhealthy manner for a long time. Whether or not he talked to someone to address it properly I'll never know, but he has been sober for over 20 years now and much more present in our family's life.

People underestimate the level of shame you feel after a SA. You know how disgusted you feel about yourself and don't want the people you love to ever see that, so you hide it, sometimes forever. People who just say "report it!" have zero idea how hard that is. You have to relive the trauma over and over and over again, and sometimes nothing good comes out of it. It's wonderful this child recognises his Dad's need for privacy.

That's terrible and wtf is wrong with some men?! I hope if he ever comes across this in bored panda he knows it is not, and never was, his fault.

I hope he feels all the love he obviously deserves. Even from a commenter on bp.❤️

I'm so glad he's better. Many male friends have confided their assaults to me. I knew it happened, but the numbers are astounding. It's such a shame that we (women) are scared to report for fear of retribution, but equally scary that men are afraid to report out of shame.

I think I notice a lot of misplaced shame surrounding sexual assault. The shame is on the abuser, not the victim. Even if the victim puts themselves in an unsafe situation, it is still the abuser's fault not yours. It is time to recognize who really has the shame and it is the abuser.

That's what playing down rape did. Then men didn't dare to talk about it. Then other men thought it never happened to men and so they would be safe and it was nothing to worry about, so they could dismiss it when women spoke up.

Freshman year of college, among all the new friends I made that year, there was one guy who was always a goofball. Very laidback, casual, down for whatever. The biggest red flag we got from him was that whenever people were drinking and hanging out, he would always essentially black out. He drank way too much and would kind of spaghetti-noodle his way around the party. While also intoxicated, after the party had winded down one night, a few people and I asked him why he always goes so damn hard.
While drooping his head a ton, sloshing around, and slurring everything, he told us about how a few months ago (the summer before college started), his best friend called him. They lived in a small town by the beach, and his friend asked him to come meet him to watch the sunset by the water. He biked over there, sat down, and they talked for a while, everything seemed fine. Then his friend took out a pistol and shot himself in the head, k*lling himself instantly. Apparently my friend had to call the police while covered in blood, brains, and skull fragments, just totally in shock. And then a few weeks later he went off to college a few states away, still in shock and unable to sleep or focus on anything.
He didn’t remember telling us that story, and I don’t think any of us wanted to bring it up. His drinking habits didn’t change until he was about to graduate, by which point he started going to therapy, got a job right after graduation, and seems to be doing better in the years since (thank god).

I don't think that someone who is about to take his own life is thinking very rationally or with any form of empathy. There's still hope if you're capable of thinking about the possible consequences for others. Losing that hope can drive you to act, whether in private or public.

You need to talk to her when she was not drunk and tell her that you cannot accept her actions and will report her if she does not get help. It sounds tough and uncaring, but it is really the best of caring for her. Moreover, it is for the sake of those she is potentially infecting.

Gay man dying of AIDS said I could charge my entire bar tab to his credit card cause he was going to die soon…
Edit:It was me and a few friends watching football so our tab was probably +$200; but I was talking to him for awhile before he said this. Think he was lonely and scared. So we just watched football with him for the rest of the afternoon. Made him feel welcome and normal at least for a while. Just wanted what the rest of us do; to not feel alone and that someone cares. I believe his name was Ron.

A friend of mine likes to drink, *a lot*, but he knows he has a limit because when he goes over it he becomes very talkative. He also doesn't date, at all, and for a long time we all wondered why. He's a good looking guy, he's really nice, he's fun to be around (when he isn't drinking, anyway), never wants to date.
Well, one time he got absolutely s**t-faced and I found out why. It turns out that when we was a kid, he saw his aunt m*rder his uncle in cold blood. Ever since, he's been terrified of being alone with a woman and feels like he could never truly be safe around them.
Robert Benson 12 months ago
He said it was in cold blood, and maybe it was, and the aunt could be an evil person. Or, there could have been a history behind the event. Regardless, the friend needs some therapy. Being afraid to be alone with 50% of the population isn't healthy. As I'm sure that many/most women can attest.

EJN 11 months ago
Counseling. It is not unusual for siblings to blame themselves for a sibling's death because they wished for that sibling to be gone or hurt in some way. In my own case, as a 7 year old, I was jealous of the attention a baby got (after my other sister born a year earlier) and wished I did not have another sister. The child died at 5 weeks old and I thought that my wishing it was to blame. It screwed me up for a very long time. And I will always bear a scar from it all.

My ex in college told me once when he was blackout drunk that a few years prior, him and a bunch of other kids broke into a house to have a party. The family that lived there was on vacation or something and were all gone (idk how they picked the house or knew it'd be empty, sorry. It's been like 12 years, and I forgot some details). They all got drunk and someome decided it would be fun to break a picture on the wall. Then someone else did, too. Eventually it devolved into them all destroying the house. Absolutely everything they could. All the windows were broken. Broke the legs off all the chairs and used them to beat holes into the walls. Ripped and stole clothing. Ripped or burnt all the family photos on the walls and s**t. I don't remember all the stuff he said that they broke, but I remember him crying and saying that they ruined those people's lives and there's no way to make it right. I honestly think he was so f****d up that he doesn't remember telling me, because we NEVER mentioned it again..
Anyway, like two years later, he punched me in the face for asking for a ride to work "one too many times" so I guess he was a piece of s**t regardless of current situation or alcohol intake.

There are quite a few guys like this. For whatever reason, they have to attack others (or others' things) as revenge for their life being less than what they wanted it to be. Look at what happened in that storming on the US Capital Building. Was vandalism necessary or smearing cr*p on the walls? Did it make a point? No. It was an unrestrained vengeance event just like what the ex did above. And, as the OP discovered later, these people are not nice even when they have regrets for their actions to some extent. They are potentially dangerous.

Matt Du 1 year ago (edited)
The fear of male sexual abuse victims having a family is very true. I've read a few studies and spoke to a lot of people in counselling groups. And although it isn't something that is often acknowledged, a large percentage of male victims will end in childless marriages. There is a lot of guilt that being male you could of or should have done something to stop it, you are to blame or made it up and that constant looming fact that 35% of abusers were victims of abuse. Fear that you could become a monster, or that you could somehow pass the gene on, both of which sound ridiculous, are not to a male abuse victim. With often no one to talk to male victims need therapy before they become a statistic. Touching on mental health, in OCD (obsessive thoughts) there are documented cases of people that believe they should be locked up because they could be abusers/r*pists even though they have no desire to do it, they have a constant thoughts that they could. OCD isn't a fun wannabe disorder now is it.

My mom quite often screams at me that she wishes she never adopted me. I don't know if that's worse or better than screaming at your biological child that you wish you had aborted them. I'd love to be able to say that she'll rot in a nursing home someday, but my older sister is her bio child and clone and will probably care for her at home. Sigh.

Was chilling with an older dude with whom i recently started working as a butcher in a grocery store.
A couple of beers down and he starts telling me he's been in prison for 17 years. Came out 2 years ago and it's his first ever job at 64 years old.
I got curious and asked him what happened if it wasnt too private. Without hesitation, he simply answered " i cut him down with an axe this piece of s**t".
... And now he's a butcher. Dude must really like his job i guess lmao.

On my birthday I got really wasted drinking at home with friends and let slip my most devastating memory from my time in the military, that’s really the source of my PTSD.
While in Afghanistan, my unit stumbled upon a stray herd of goats in an area where we regularly met with an informant we knew to be a shepherd. We found a mass of 17 decaying bodies that were the entirety of the man’s nomadic clan. It was presumed that the informant was discovered by the Taliban and they put the entire group to death and left them there to rot. I spent the better part of a week burying the bodies. Some were decapitated, including at one child.
I think my friends were arguing about Ukraine and I was just so drunkenly frustrated, none of them had seen the terrifying reality of s**t that happens in war, s**t is just a f*****g headline to so many.
Edit: This kind of took off, so I wanted to add some context as well as thank everyone for your kind words and awards given.
I was 19 when this happened and this became the focal point for me changing a lot of my world views, I decided not to renew my enlistment for this reason. I understand the conflict in Ukraine is different from the war in Afghanistan but I was drunk as hell and have always resented how a large portion of Americans have this back seat approach to promoting violence around the globe because they’ve never seen it first-hand.
I found out later, after the deployment when I was back in Germany that the manner in which we buried these people was wildly inconsistent with Islamic and Pashtun burial traditions. I couldn’t know that at the time, but I always had a strong suspicion that this event was never made known to the Afghan people to cover up US involvement and questions about the informant network. Especially now that the Taliban are in charge.
I have always had some distinctly personal regrets about the events that led up to this. Part of my job was to coordinate information requests for operational intelligence, and these requests would occasionally require the aid of an informant, although how we got the information was now generally not considered “need to know” for me. I live with the very real possibility that while I was sitting at a desk trying to get juicy bullet points for a PowerPoint presentation I initiated a chain of events that was contributing to gruesome deaths of innocent people.
So yea. Done with that s**t.

You probably should keep in mind that American society has not been IN A WAR from the standpoint of having the fighting on the continent, since the Civil War and the Indian Wars of the 1800s. Soldiers were sent often to fight, but ordinary citizens were not present for the most part in those wars. I think this is what the reference to people who are "promoting war" is about. Ask anyone in Europe or Asia about living in war and they know. Americans seldom do unless they were soldiers.

Even though war is undeniably hell, sometimes it is the best response to unjust circumstances. We who live in the Western world often forget how many times men with armaments try to use violence against others in order to acquire power, money, land, slave labor, material objects, etc. Many times going to war is the only way to stay alive, or to keep your children alive, when you are fighting against a tyrant. When people start fighting, you know things have gotten really bad for them because they feel that even war would be better than the life they have been living up until then.

They didn't tell me this while they were drunk, but I think it fits here. I am a volunteer at a nursing home. When one of the female residents was close to death, she confided it in me this. One time her husband cheated on her with the neighbors wife. When the neighbors husband found out he was very upset and was going to physically hurt her husband. They worked out a deal where the neighbors husband would not hurt her husband if he was able to "return the favor". In essence her husband agreed to let the neighbor have her in order to save himself a righteous beating. It gets worse, she later became pregnant and told her husband for the rest of his life that it was his, but she honestly believed it to be the neighbors. Her whole life she was carrying this burden about her son and what her husband had done to her, both with the cheating on her and with the trading her off like a cow. It was truly a heartbreaking conversation.

Getting raped doesn't fall under the same category as being someone's sex life. It's abuse. It's illegal. It's unwanted. Someone's sex live is consensual. This person was brave for saying out loud what happened to her, and I hope it enabled her to be able to report it to the authorities.

This reflects an incredibly awkward encounter I had in my first week at uni. It was also truth or dare and a rather bolshy lass started asking who had had sex before. A few people looked ashamed because they hadn't. I refuse to feel ashamed and said "Does it have to be consensual to count?" Her face dropped in horror as the realisation dawned and she thought a bit more carefully about how she asked things in future.

I was sitting at home when a friend of mine came over s**tfaced. She staggered in and sat down on the couch a few feet from me. She told me something completely f****d up.
"When I was 17, my step dad was drunk and tried to have sex with me because I looked like his dead wife. He kept calling me Abigail, and just wouldn't let go of me. He kept saying he 'missed her, and that he loves her, but knew she'd never come back'. He said I reminded him of her to the point he couldn't help himself. That's why I never talk about sex stuff with you guys. I lost my virginity out of pity and it left me with so much mental and emotional damage."
She started crying after that, but I had no idea what to do or say. I was stunned. Then it hit me how she doesn't talk about her step dad when asked about her family. She said I'm the only one that knows about any of this.
Lyoness 1 year ago
If someone tells you about this stuff, thank them for trusting you, reassure them you will respect that trust and ask if they want to go to the hospital or police. Tell them that unless they have your permission, you'll keep what they've told you to yourself. Then ask how you can best support them. Naturally this is all for adults. With children you must report the incident right away. But the best advice I was ever given is that for adults, the support must be driven by the survivor. You may want to go right to the cops or, conversely, hide things, but which one (or neither) isn't your choice. How you support the survivor should be based on their needs, not yours.

When her aging and sick mother -- whom she despised and was a ton of unappreciated work to care for -- was left in her care, she intentionally withheld certain medications and gave her too much of other ones with the plan being to k*ll her off. It worked. She told her other siblings that the illness must have finally gotten to her and she passed in her sleep. Since she was already old and sick there was no autopsy.
A minute later she snapped out of it and apologized profusely for telling me that, adding that I am the only person she has ever told....

A friend of mine died from a d**g overdose. After the funeral a mutual friend of ours and I were getting drunk when he broke down crying. He asked me if I remembered the time when he and our dead friend told me about an accident that they'd witnessed where they saw a truck driver die. I told him I did. He then told me the most f**ked up s**t. He said that our friend ran up to the dying man and stole his wedding ring, and that the man couldn't do anything but look up, terrified, at our friend as he was being robbed.
I knew they were bad into d**gs but I never thought they could do anything like that. I grew up with them, they were like my brothers. I don't really trust anyone completely anymore.

The ramifications of that act of cruelty go far beyond stealing a symbol of love and fidelity from a dying man. The best case scenario for what happens when his wife discovers the ring missing is that she falsely accuses a first-responder. Was someone's job or reputation lost? Do the victim's wife and children wonder to this day if he always took his ring off when he wasn't at home? It's crushing to think about.

Now I knew that this guy had a reputation, as a cheating Tinder hustler and that he'd often brag about his extra marital conquests. I wasn't ready for him to confess that he had hepatitis and had tested HIV positive SIX MONTHS ago! But confess he did, sobbing that his wife was going to leave him, as if he was the victim.

I was at a bar with a kitchen coworker. He'd apparently been stabbed in some kind of altercation some years ago. Never asked him specifically what it was about, but he struck me as kind of a hippyish-type dude, into Phish and Widespread Panic and such, seemed like a mild-mannered stoner, so I assumed it had just been some guys messing with him and it escalated further, though I didn't know for sure. This night at the bar, a few shots in, he told me that after the stabbing, while he was in the hospital, his older sister had found the attackers and that "they weren't alive anymore" or something to that effect, went on about how dangerous his sister was and how she was connected to some scary people.
The guy actually died a few months ago, out of the blue, from what was said to be a stroke (he was only 38 at the time of his death). He'd been gone from the restaurant we worked at for some time (got let go for drinking on the job.) I assume it was just a random thing, or maybe he had undisclosed health issues, but still odd.

We both read a lot of the comments here and it sparked a lot of good conversation points. There were some more explicit things my friend said that I didn’t post here because it was a bit embarrassing. My wife wants to talk to our friend about that but is going to let me have whatever conversation I need first.
I saw a few comments of people worried I would leave my wife and I just want to say that it’s absolutely laughable that I would ever leave her. I assure you my wife has no competition no matter who it is. There is absolutely 100% nobody as amazing or cute as my adorable wife. I am not going to forget that. Thanks so much for the support and advice you all gave! I wasn’t expecting a random Reddit comment to give me this much support!

My grand father recalled his happy memories of visiting brothels in Algeria during the war... In front of my horrified grand mother who he was already married to at the time and clearly had never heard of it.
He also bragged about shooting a dozen people during that time, with a smile on his face. His side was the one invading. F****d up s**t...

They burned their childhood home down accidentally-on-purpose.

I was a first responder on a college campus, so I had quite a few patients that were intoxicated. It was always heartbreaking to hear people confess to being a victim of sexual assault, both on an individual person by person level and on the level of how frequently we would hear it. I’m glad, as a survivor myself, that we were able to be that safe space for folks to share and begin the healing process, but some of those stories still stay with me.

My dad is a 30+year US army vet. One day last year we were drinking and playing cards and at one point he talked about some of the stuff he had to do when he was in Iraq and Afghanistan with the army. He hates himself for it and basically believes his ptsd is his punishment for what he had to do over there and never said anything else about it. My two siblings and myself keep trying to get him to get professional help or at least talk to us but he refuses.
Edit: Wow this is getting a ton of responses. I thank you all for all of the resources you are recommending. If I don't respond I'm sorry, but I'm making a list of the different recommendations and hopefully bring some of them up with him and hope he will agree to get help in one way or another. Thank you all for the tips! I don't have high hopes on him agreeing to do any of this but it will not stop me from at least trying.

My uncle said that my grandfather wasn’t exactly a caring/loving father because of working in the coal mines. He said my pap was terrified everyday because he didn’t know if he was coming home or not cause he’d hear the mountains above him crack.

Got way too drunk and ended up telling a mate of mine how severe my depression really was and that I think about s***ide a lot. That wasn’t a fun morning after
Edit: wow I wasn’t expecting so big of a blow up! I just want to say a massive thank you to everyone commenting wether it was just hoping for the best, any advice or just sharing their story showing that it can happen to anyone. You’re all amazing human beings and I wish nothing but the best for all of you.

Apparently someone I used to run with k*lled a homeless person just to see what it would be like.

A drunk ex-boyfriend told me he beat a homeless man very badly, & the man might d!e. But this ex was a horrible person who constantly lied. So I honestly give any word out of his mouth about a 50/50 chance of being true. When I asked the ex about it a few days later - to see if the homeless man had died in the hospital - he had no idea. He hadn't called to ask. He was very nonchalant & seemed surprised I would ask. So either this guy 1) killed a human being & felt absolutely nothing; or 2) thought that TELLING me he killed a human being would somehow endear him to me. Huh? I don't really understand it either way.

The amount of people who admit to cheating on their partner. Really made me rethink relationships a lot.

On my 18th birthday shortly after graduation, my mom got hammered and told me that she expected my sister to graduate and go to university while everyone thought I'd drop out and start doing d***s.

A chick that I used to go out with and then just ghosted me one day, was black out drunk and confessed that her lesbian friend sabotaged what we had because she was jealous.

I went to Reddit to see if I could make sense of this. The only other comment OP made was in response to the question: "Genuinely curious- how does one sabotage another person's relationship. Like . . . what exactly is the means? Rumor mongering or is it more physical like putting a boot on their car so they can't drive to see you?" OP replied: "I don’t really know all the details but since we started hanging out and she knew she was interested in me, she started planting the little seed of chaos in her head." And now I'm even more confused.

And who confessed to whom? How did OP find out if they'd been ghosted?
