“Confess Your Sins Anonymously”: 35 Anonymously Shared Secrets That People Wouldn’t Dare To Confess In Reality
Have you ever found yourself in that position where you're just going about your day and then suddenly remember something embarrassing you did years ago that no one knows about, or get struck by some very important secret that just won’t let you sleep peacefully at night? It’s always interesting to hear what kind of secrets or weird confessions another person has and whether those are worse than what we’re hiding. But what if there is a way to find this out? A Twitter account called @Fesshole was created with the intention that here, people can share things that bother them anonymously. If you’re curious to find out more about what things users online tend to keep a secret and read an interview with the creator of the account, you can do it by clicking here.

The account that now has almost 630K followers and even published a book, The Very Best of Fesshole: Britain confesses anonymously, shares confessions that range from funny and even embarrassing ones to those that might be considered more serious ones. A lot of those who decided to share their confessions talk about small and perhaps embarrassing things that they don’t want others to know about, such as hiding food from other family members, not wanting to go out, staying at home instead, stealing some trifle, etc. Some also reveal “heavier” things such as wanting to move out of their country or cheating on their spouse.
I get really annoyed when a guy says to someone that the wife won't let him do it, when it's HIS choice. This can lead the 'friends' thinking less of the wife (she's soooo controlling) rather than less of the manly man who can't bear to take his own responsibility.
Is it okay to keep secrets and what does that do to our mental health? A lot of people like to keep things to themselves as they are afraid that once someone they care about finds things out, they might react badly, change their mind about the person, or break off the relationship. However, according to Dr. Alison Block, a psychologist and the Director of the Health Psychology Center, keeping a secret can make you feel even worse than actually admitting things as they are.
How can you help yourself in this case? Most of us are familiar with the feeling of having something weighing us down, but once we talk about it, it feels as if that weight has been lifted off our shoulders. The specialist stated that the best way is to think about our secret: why don’t we want to talk about it? Once we know our whats and whys, it’s important to think of ways we want to present the information to the person in question. Dr. Block revealed some useful tips to prepare yourself for it better, which include: writing down the confession or saying it to yourself, this way making yourself feel a bit better, choosing a place where you want to share your secret, having an explanation for why you decided to keep certain things a secret, etc.
Do you have some tips and tricks of your own? Don’t forget to leave them in the comments section down below!
I'm glad the poor kitty stayed, I can't help imagining the wife throwing him out every night in the beginning though 😟
Love this. Been in IT for over 15 years and started without any experience and have done pretty well for myself. But I had extremely good teachers, mentors, and supporters (including my family from a personal level for all of those late nights and screwed up holidays). All of that said, if you called me right now for support I'd still tell you to reboot
Years and years ago, I had a boss who did not pronounce IT as "eye-tee". He pronounced as the word "it". Some merciful soul put a note on his desk.

This would be me with my sainted mother, lol! Every single time she calls me with one of her, "Something weird's going on with my computer!" meltdowns and I talk her through it, she's amazed I'm not doing this for a living. "Or you could just go to old people's houses and teach them. Yeah, that's the ticket!" I should be a millionaire by now.
I worked at an elementary school. Somehow I ended up getting recognised for my ability to solve IT issues with the TVs and computers and what not in my department. So much so that the actual IT person pulled me out of my classroom one morning and asked me to help her with a program that wasn't working. Took the whole day, but in the end I figured out what the problem was. I do not have any formal IT training, I just know how to Google stuff.
Yeah I work in IT and can honestly say the number one skill anyone has in my field is how to use search querys on Google. From website design using CSS HTML and PHP, software buildup in python, or just troubleshooting system issues in Windows, 90% of the time a web search will be involved as someone probably has sorted the issue before and we love telling each other our fixes.
When computers were just starting to go into my place of business they kept calling me every time there's a problem with a printer or a computer. I have no idea why since I ran the children's program. However they labeled me as the fix it person because I knew how to turn on and off the machines. Ridiculous
This exact thing happened to me, except I was more "volun-told." They figured that since I was a web designer and the subject was computer related, then naturally I should be the IT expert. I did get the 10% raise I requested for adding the extra duties. I quickly learned that the rare times the problem wasn't solved by reboot, just google it.
This is very funny. When I worked for a major corporation, I asked our top IT guy how he did it. He said he Googled everything, and he wasn't kidding.
I work with Luddites who have been using computers for 20+ years. How do people not learn a few things in that amount of time? I'm the department psuedo IT guy too.
No need to know anything about IT as long as you can google or know how to do a search on YouTube.
One does not simply mix milk from two different cows. Come on people.
What if that was the funniest cr*p you would have seen all your life, tho.

I love how overly critical and judgy the comments are in this thread. The account was created SPECIFICALLY to get embarrassing things off your chest. Or things you're not supposed to be gloating about, but yet you do. These people KNOW there is something off or even plain wrong about what they just shared, or they wouldn't share on a page like this. I really enjoyed the posts in this thread, but hated the comments. This is seriously one of those threads that would benefit from a function to block the posting of comments under each contribution. I really don't think these posts were meant for us to take it and run with it.
+100 to this! I was thinking “did people forget the purpose of the twitter account/this post?”

Here's my confession: If an anti-vax Covid denier falls ill, I smile and say, "Oh, that's sad, would you like to sign up for this long Covid research project?" I used to try to help them. Now? They have destroyed millions of lives. So, yeah, here, try this weird combo of vitamins and prescriptions ----- you don't believe in vaccinations against Covid, but you'll take this cocktail of doom, sure, whatever, here's the paperwork, sign there, have fun if you get the placebo. And then I drink a cup of hot chocolate and wonder if I'm as big a b***h as Karma is, or if I'm just Karma's little helper, or if I'm going to hell. But after two years of those a--holes, I'm sticking to the first rule of medicine. I'll do no harm. That's all. F**k 'em. No, I'm not angry and bitter, why do you ask?/s/
Here's my confession. For seven years, I've been hiding the fact that my best friend is being abused and taken advantage of by her boyfriend. I've been hiding it because I know her boyfriend has a gun, and I know that he knows where I live, and I know that he keeps it loaded and cocked at all times, and I don't want to take even the slightest risk of her dying and possibly me dying as well.

Joke's on you #24: the queen was known for wearing brightly colored clothes.
I use to drive at least once a week through x highway. There is a 2 mile spot with a lot of motels (not the family type, but those for couples, outlying rates). Every time i drive by this part of the road, I honk and wave anybody who is entering or leaving , so they s**t their pants by thinking someone caught them cheating. If I’m not having sex, no one is! 😂😂😂😂😂😂
