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

[spideyboy_1111]

I confess i'm way too empathic sometimes... and feel tooooo much when people I care about are down, no matter if they've had it coming or "deserved it". Still feel VERY sorry for them

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

You have a very big heart.

I am totally indecisive about my religious beliefs or lack thereof. I was raised by Christian parents but was never baptized or taken to church or anything, and have never felt strongly religious. I defined myself as an atheist for years, then attended a Free Methodist church for a couple years, then lost interest and went back to wavering between atheist and agnostic, and now I've attended Mass at a Catholic church with my roommate for three Sundays, but have no interest in officially becoming Catholic. For now, if I have to define myself (which I don't really like to do), it's as an agnostic.

 

[Aesop Rocks]

Talking to that pastor, when I 'came out' really also helped me start kicking around the idea of my own religious beliefs.

 

[ComicChick]

i confess i have low self esteem that stems from the way i grew up.

i guess on that note i confess I have a lot of baggage

 

[Schlosser85]

I think I have low self-esteem too. And I have stunted social skills.

 

[Aesop Rocks]

I really don't have low self-esteem anymore, I've been generally accepted by everyone I've ever met and all that jazz. I'd just find things to pick apart myself.

in certain areas i definitely think my social skills are stunted lol


physically i'm just barely 26, mentally i'm probably late 30's haha but emotionally, i'm probably early to mid-teens. coming from a unaffectionate home is one of the things that really effed me up i think.

everyone thinks i'm cold hearted or unemotional but it's just that i don't emote externally much. to compare myself to a character (this is a superhero message board after all) i'd probably liken myself to Emma Frost (minus the skanky clothes and overly sexual behavior haha) in that i don't really show anyone emotions or express them

 

[Aesop Rocks]

I'm the same way, CC, in the Emma Frost comparison. Shaky clothes and overly sexual behavior, too.

I'm not a directly emotional person, I don't express my emotions in public unless I completely need to. My family more often than not likes to put a show on for the neighborhood and take their arguments outside for the world to hear. I don't do that, I keep everything to myself until it becomes too much. Resulting in me blowing up on anyone and everyone. My family actually gets scared of me when I get angry, which that in itself scares me too.

My social skills are better than most but I can totally relate to you on the above. That's pretty much exactly how I feel. One of my friends told me that her and another friend would have debates over whether or not I had a soul. She said, "We go back and forth between you not having a soul, and you being the sweetest guy on the world. We eventually settled on sweetest though."

ive got a lot bottled in but i've never blown up on anyone or anything yet. if i cry i do it in the privacy of my own room and never let anyone see. ive actually been asked by a couple of people how i "shut down" so quickly. theyve told me they thought they saw a glimmer of emotion on my face and blinked and it was like it was never there, true story. i don't mean to say that i'm completely devoid of emotion. i cry EVERY time i leave my family reunion, i cry in certain movies etc but i mask it as best I can and try to keep people from seeing it.

when i cried as a kid i was teased by my brother and made to feel stupid. he terrorized me and i was basically brought up in a way that crying or showing emotions was a sign of weakness and could be used against you.

ive been asked if i had a soul lol or a heart many a time. my social skills aren't completely remedial i don't think. i can make a lot of people laugh, i can carry a conversation etc but i usually always deflect anything personal asked about me and switch up the convo before anyone ever remembers i didn't really answer or discuss the topics that were originally at hand.

wow, i'm being more open today than i think i ever have. heh. it's amazing what you'll say to a computer screen but never say out loud.

 

[Aesop Rocks]

I've never been asked if I've had a heart or soul, but people would ask me if "I even cared" when our family was going through stressful times because of how indifferent I'd seem.

And I'd get to where I'd wait to cry in my own room at nights recently because of some stuff I was annoyingly let myself go through and worried about too much. Most of the Hype members from Skype should know what it is. haha.

My family is really steeped in emotion, we're an emotional bunch, but I tend to supress my emotions until I can control how I express them (if that makes sense?)

 

[ComicChick]

it kinda does

my immediate family is the exact opposite. we rarely even hug, let alone say l*ve. see? i don't even type it haha, or write it for that note.

i've kinda developed some kind of inferior perspective of myself in some ways. everyone always judges people and i get judged based on my relatives sometimes before anyone even knows me. my maternal side which is the local side is a mess. no one has graduated high school, almost everyone has at least one drug addiction, has no job, car, has spent time behind bars etc. i'm the exact opposite of that and i sometimes feel like i'm not good enough based on that.

on my dad's side it's like a whole 'nother world. everyone is hard working, family oriented, educated, good jobs, good famillies etc. we meet twice a year for family reunions and i swear it's probably some of the only times i'm truly genuinely happy because we're all just so close although we all live in different states. we're affectionate, caring and everything i ever wanted a family to feel like.

 

[DoomsdayApex]

I confess, even as a dark and angry cynical being, I hold some optimistic traits underneath. However, the people around my environment shall never know.

I am also a brilliant liar. No surprise this led to a job opportunity that lasted for two years. Oddly enough, the most honest I've ever been is with complete strangers online while discussing what Batsuit Batman should wear next.

 

[Schlosser85]

I internalize my emotions like crazy. I can probably count the number of times I've cried on one hand. People think I'm really calm under pressure, but inside I feel exhaustively stressed half the time and just give off a stoic demeanor.

 

[WillardNation]

I confess that I'm only attracted to unavailable women and it's driving me crazy.

I was thinking about it the other day and I have pushed away literally every girl that's ever wanted to be with me while pining over the ones I could never have. That isn't to say that the ones I'm pining over haven't liked me back, most of them have, they're just unavailable in that they're just here for the summer, or they have plans to move or they're dating someone or have history with a friend, etc. It's extremely frustrating.

 

[Anubis]

Tell them to act like they are unavailable because you have a cuckhold fetish.

 

[WillardNation]

I always look forward to your words of wisdom, Anubis.
