The 'Make An Honest Confession' Thread! Part V: Rebirth

[WillardNation]

I confess I drank way too much tequila last night and have a horrible headache today. I might puke.

Better out than in, get to a toilet bud

 

[WillardNation]

I seriously have not had a headache this bad in god knows when.

A nap is definitely on the agenda. Never mind that I only woke up 3 hours ago.

 

[DoomsdayApex]

The mind is a spectacle to both embrace and loath.

Although I personally do not believe in the emotion that is love, the ability to form a substantial connection with another soul (that is not your 'soul-mate') is conceivable.

I believe Golgo did the logical thing. He got out before he got in too deep -- the point of no return. Not many people can do what he did. Most people usually let themselves be overtaken and overwhelmed, which then leads to self-destructive decisions.

However, I do not believe he loved this 'mistress'. This woman reminded him of his wife (sharing the same personality and traits). His connection to this individual is, in some forms, an illusion. He also states that his marriage is stable but that may be the problem as well. Perhaps, subconsciously, he fell for this mistress because his relationship has become a little mundane.

i confess of most people i know i think i am one of the main ones who will be able to function once we lose power for good (lost it 4 times so far today) because they pretty much crutch on all forms of technology and i can function without it

I confess that I like to keep a lot bottled up inside.

i confess... that... that needs to stop.. if i have to SQUEEEEEEZE it out of you!!!!

 

[Schlosser85]

I confess that I like to keep a lot bottled up inside.

Me too, and I know it's not healthy.

 

[JJJ's Ulcer]

I think it's okay to keep some stuff bottled up. The cliche is that that you should let everything out, but I feel exposed and awkward around someone if they know too much about me. Some secrets are good.

 

[Ultimatehero]

I confess that I'm bisexual, drive dangerously in my car, and I'm a dark brooder... in fact... I confess I'm James Dean reborn.

 

[Scourge2099]

I confess I'm glad I'm going back to school monday. Now I won't have to deal with my own depressing thoughts anymore.

I see what you did there.

Same here.

I know it's not healthy but like JJJ, I tend to feel exposed and awkward if some things are out in the open.

Speaking of which...I confess that if my living situation were a little different I know that I would be completely out already.

am i going to have to create a hype gay self-help hotline where all y'all can open up to me?

trick is knowing what you can open up about, and what you can easily deal with yourself. I think the BOLDed statement is what you should work on. why are you afraid to let people in? I have a friend who NEVER opens up about anything personal (unless he's drunk) and that just pushes him away from having close friendships with anyone. He just wants the "fun"

 

[SpideyVille]

I don't think its so much to do about depressing thoughts for me, but I'm also looking forward to starting school again because I tend to be happier when I'm around people, especially after I spent the entire summer keeping to myself.

I know it's not healthy but like JJJ, I tend to feel exposed and awkward if some things are out in the open.

I think in my case, it's more about trust issues. I had a group of friends a while ago and after some things got out of hand, I started to feel like I couldn't trust them anymore, and even now I still tend to push people away a bit even though I'm usually quick to open up about myself.

and that's ok, but to live the rest of your life blocked up, and closed off, really isn't healthy either. I went through alot the last 10 years of my life, and i've realized unless you put yourself out there, and learn what people to trust and what people you cant, ull have that "shadow" that depression and stress and anxiety all your life, which is not healthy.

That could be interesting.

I definitely have some trust issues as well. I like to keep a lot private (especially if something is wrong or upsetting me) because I don't like pity or sympathy. I know that probably sounds weird...

Because nobody wants to hear that stuff. Everyone has their baggage. Nothing ruins a good drinking session faster than some whiner embarking on an hour long pity-party.

Not weird at all. Your business is your business. I hate people who thrive on the pity of others. Have some pride and sort your (not you, Marx, the general you) issues without becoming some slobbering wreck in front of your friends.

 

[AndThePickles]

I confess that when my boyfriend came into our living room to ask me what I was doing, my honest reply was "watching Giada de Laurentiis' boobs for nip slips." haha storms are boring

Well like I said, I don't have a problem opening up because even though I usually get the reputation of being the quiet guy, I do actually like to talk. But at the same time, I still think I have some roots of bitterness inside from the past two years where the two people I felt like I could trust the most ended up being the ones who hurt me the most despite all my attempts of preventing things from going wrong.

Part of the reason why I used this summer to get away from people was so I could better focus on myself and fixing things like that. But I still don't think I've gotten there yet.

No, I'm the same way. Like my mom usually complains about everything no matter how small it may be and tries to play the victim, and I've always hated that so much that I decided to not complain about anything. And I ahte when people do something for me out of sympathy because it never feels real. But deep down inside, there's a lot of things that I wish I could be vocal about, but it never seems right to open up about them unless I'm looking to burn some bridges and seriously upset certain people.

 

[spideyboy_1111]

that's not true. some people (like myself) genuinely LIKE helping people. It's always good t have someone to talk to. Everyone in life really just wants to be understood. You can't ever find that if you don't let people in.

and... yeah, people shouldn't spill themselves when drinking.. or in a social setting (That's the wrong time to do so), but it's also a sign when people have things bottled up and are wound so tight that they can only open up when drunk. (which isnt healthy either).

you're still describing a situation which is completely different. You're focused on opening yourself up = ruining a party, and good night with friends. which is exactly the wrong time to talk about your problems. Also.. those people who thrive on pity of others... have far more issues than anything.

you seem like you have a decent grasp on it. but the best friend's you'll find will like you for yourself, and your opinions and feelings.
