“There is a snake that lives in the wall along the stairs leading to my basement. He has his area, and I have mine, and we respect each other’s space.” -Reddit user marry_me_sarah_palin
“Leukemia. CLL – the slowest growing form of Leukemia, and there’s no treatment other than stem cell, and hopefully, I won’t need that any time soon….not even 40 yet. I don’t look sick – even my own family doesn’t believe me, so why would anyone else? I guess you need to be frail, pale, skinny, and bald to have cancer….right.” -Reddit user Hippydippy420
“I don’t tell people I’m autistic in person until I’ve known them multiple years. Sometimes by the time, I tell them, they’re like, “yeah, no offense, but I’ve known for pretty much the whole time I knew you.” -Reddit user ohmygodlenny
“I had a baby when I was 15, and he was adopted. Closed adoption. The most painful thing I’ve ever gone through. He turns 18 in a few months, and if he so chooses, he can find me. I’m married & have kids now, and my kids have no idea he exists. I really, really want to meet him, but I’m terrified he’s got mental disorders like his biological father (who is now in prison for murder.).” -Reddit user ThickGecko5912
“I fantasize about having superpowers and what I would do if I was granted them. It’s mainly evil and selfish things. 10/10 would become a villain.”

“I was abused growing it. It ended when I realized I was now bigger and stronger. Said abuser raised their hand to hit me, and I threw them into a wall. There was a fairly large dent that I had to plaster, sand, and paint. But it ended a lot of pain.” -Reddit user (deleted)
“I have told my husband, and my mom knows, but nobody else. When I was seven, I pooped on the bed in the middle of the night. Just like, a perfect log in my underwear. I was scared of getting in trouble, so I threw my underwear and shit behind the dresser in my bedroom and promptly forgot I did that. My mom found it two weeks later.” -Reddit user PancakeQueen13
“I’m honestly incredibly lonely, and I have been for years since high school. I joined the military, am going to school in a different state, and I’ve joined several clubs. Despite all of this, I have no friends here or back home, and everyone I know thinks I have a lot. Also, I regularly have threesomes with a woman and her husband who are 20+ years older than I am.” -Reddit user wannabeprez
“I have two cousins that are married. The rest of the cousins were outraged and appalled when they decided to get married. But my aunts and uncles were all like, “Well, your grandparents were cousins.” To which most of us were, again, even more concerned. They’re still married and trying to conceive. We’ve just learned to deal with it. What else are we going to do? EDIT: Cousins are trying to conceive, not grandparents. Grandparents are dead.”

“I once helped out my female friend’s family by taking care of their cat for a week. Every day for a week, I would go over there and snoop around their house. I found my friend’s diary and proceeded to read the entire thing. I used this information to get her to like me, and she is currently my wife.” -Reddit user ThrownAway2389
“I don’t want to be with my girlfriend anymore, but she might have cancer, and I feel like I need to stay in the relationship.” -Reddit user morningandamazing
“I accidentally killed seven people. I put a rag into a new water heater exhaust to keep debris out and installed it in a rental. I get a call a week later, there’s been an accident. I show up, and there’s a ton of ems and police. They ask me where the gas shutoff is, and I go down to shut the gas off and see the end of the rag I forgot sticking out of the top of the heater. I ripped the rag out, shut the gas off and head upstairs, only to be told all the tenants were DEAD. I drink all day now and sleep. It’s killing me from the inside every single day, but if I say anything, my family is ruined; we have a bunch of rental properties, and we’d be shut down.”

“I hate all of my friends. Literally. I don’t have anything in common with any of them and don’t care. But I’m too scared to be alone and have no one else to go to, so I keep hanging around with them.” -Reddit user britishNIGGA
“I have been pretending to be colorblind to everyone I have ever known, including my own parents, since I was in 3rd grade. I am now 28 years old. I even convinced an optometrist of it.”

“After graduating from high school, I went to a small out-of-state college where no one from high school knew me. I was told many times how impressive my false Australian accent was, so I decided it would be great fun to go through college pretending to be from Australia. All of my friends and even my girlfriend of two years think I’m Australian. I have a completely fake Australian identity, family, and past. I will soon be graduating, and I plan on asking the girl to marry me. Everything she knows about me is Australian. I don’t know how to tell her she doesn’t really know me. Guess I’m forever a bloke.” -Reddit user FelineOfTheSea
