whats so scary about that just people trying to get through problems

Dude your hillarious

oh woops didnt read the whole thing just read it maybe your right this people are pretty fucking scary

Interesting....It might be kind of relieving letting people read your confessions...and reading others, makes u feel like ur not alone.

Some of those people are just crazy. Penis in a fishbowl? excreting during sex? Wishing their moms dead? Female kissing men who're gay? Strange.

well...uh... I guess it's better to get it out of your system, than to go on some shooting rampage. but some of this stuff just isn't ment for the human eyes man! now i'm scared, those people are out there man! and I could be talking to them! hello old flakjacket!

This is one of the weirdest of them, that I read.

And this one of the scariest.

I understand this, I mean it must help to have someone read your problems, but it does sadden, and scare me a little bit.

:o

This is Jerry Springer shit.

It’s just basically a release – I don’t think there is anything wrong with it. Everybody has problems and issues that they have to face, and we all deal with them in different ways – none are really more effective or 'better' than another as each individual is different and your methods depend on that.

If you go to the forum section on that site, you’ll see a rather healthy community of members who all go there to deal with their problems and help others with theirs – again, it all comes down to a means of dealing with the things we face.

As for being scary – humanity is scary. Our entire existence is filled with some of the most unpleasant things imaginable – nobody is really proud of it, but it’s a part of life. If we could see inside a human soul, we would be shocked at some of the things we would witness – it can be that bad. That’s why we all close ourselves up... that’s why we cannot let anybody get near our hearts; because it is something which pains not only ourselves, but others.

I think the important thing is to just keep an open mind and accept those things which are different, but very real at the same time – it’s about the only thing we can do... that or just be narrow-minded. It’s all literally just a matter of perspective of how we perceive things – I think that is the case for everything, so choice your perception wisely.

It is unusual... but some are like that.
...Including myself, at times.

Whats to like about it? Im curious.

:huh:

Scary shit...

That’s something I could never explain even if I tried...

...Although, one aspect is perspective – when I’m depressed, I have a completely different outlook than when I’m not depressed. My outlook is more true, and I’m not lying to myself. Depression, for me, has been a kind of 'awakening' – an acknowledgement of how the world really is... and that is something I need to hold on to... I cannot let myself forget... never. That’s one of the reasons why I crave it, at times...

As I said, that’s only one of many reasons... the others, I will not get into – and it’s only right to say that I do not fully understand it myself, yet. But hopefully you’ve gotten the general idea. I do not expect you to understand... or empathize, for that matter – but this is me, and that’s all that I can really say.

Also, enough pointing out the weird and/or funny shit; it makes me sick on a number of different levels – and I’m not just talking about what’s written in those comments you’re quoting, either...

This is very similar to Post Secret. At any rate, Tamashi's post hit it spot-on. I can't add anything more.

That website saddens me, especially the picture I can relate to.

It's important to remember that this is still an internet community, and that there are recurring themes and certain traits that repeat themselves throughout the site, such as the "punch-line confessions"... a standard one being such as:

In order to "shock"... it seems like these people want readers to be horrified or grossed out or whatever, enough to copy and paste to their friends over MSN or something... others still seem to break the fourth wall in a self-referential way

Or there's the minimalistic non-confession confessions that aren't shocking or gross, just plain and simple:

Or something.

And every now and again, you can find real confessions from someone pouring their heart out... but don't hold your breath.

That isn’t surprising – believe it or not, a lot of people just want others to sympathize or pity them from time to time. It’s not weird, and again, it’s not very shocking – it’s just the way we are, and the way we deal with things.

If people are getting through life like this okay, let them be... but if it’s causing them more grief, they’ll have to learn that this isn’t the way to go about it. We all have our own things to learn in life – dealing with grief and heartache just happens to be one of those things.

For those who are being serious about their confessions, though; it’s best just to be a helping hand – being a jackass about somebody else’s problems just shows how low you really are.

The human soul is a interesting thing definetly. You would be surprised what people actully feel about somethings. We have all done things that were wrong or stupid but some of this stuff they are confessing is just stuff they need to keep to themselves. It helps to keep secrets because eventully when someone finds out you do not want to it is going kick your ass until you are somewhere else.

You’ve missed the whole idea of an online anonymous confession, haven’t you?

In the real world; you’re absolutely right – we need to keep secrets to ourselves – and I’m sure these guys don’t go around chanting their problems from rooftops. If it’s online, though – and completely anonymous – then there isn’t so much of a deal since nobody can come back at you with ridiculing remarks or what have you.

Like I said before, though – we have to be open to different things, as well – and not be so close-minded. Only then can we truly begin to understand each other... although, humanity doesn’t seem to be capable of getting that far as a whole.

Well people have always needed to get things "off their chest", be it in a confession booth, via a diary, a pen pal, whatever. This site just brings that aspect of human nature online.

What could be an interesting discussion: Could you classify reading this site as a form of entertainment?

even on the internet it is still not a good Idea to put all this stuff. Like on this website. There are numerous people here who know eachother outside this site or personaly. So really it is just like saying it out loud. Most of the time the confessions are just ways to get attention.

No, no, no – this is a completely anonymous internet confession site. If you read the page – you would have seen this:

In addition, you’re obviously not going to confess something dire or extreme in nature on a forum where you have friends from real life who visit – that goes without saying and would be just as stupid as doing it in real life. Although, if the people in question are who you would consider 'trustworthy', then it isn’t so bad – but even then you should be still cautious.

I guess you could – just know, though, that it is extremely low.

I agree (though some can be amusing) I didn't give my opinion in order to avoid influencing people's replies. Sound familiar, Tam? :P

You hiding something? ;)

depends what you are looking at! :lol: :P

Everyone has a skeleton in the closet... even me.

I doubt I could ever live with myself if I confessed my deepest darkest secret. I often try not to think about it but at times I've just wanted to blurt it out. :sad:

Ahhhh! My eyes are melting all over the keyboard!!

i can't really add anything new because i share Tam's views on this, can't really disagree with anythin he says.
