We all have a lot going on in our lives. While we see smiling faces during our day, these people might be hiding under a mask, battling demons. You might ask yourself, “What’s probably wrong with their life? They seem happy indeed.” While from the other person’s shoes, the narrative changes vividly. It’s like we all carry this huge weight of shame, guilt, and negative emotions with us, perched upon our shoulders like a cockatoo at all times, as a constant reminder of the time we did something that aches our hearts the most. Most people don’t confess their sins to anyone because they are afraid of being judged but unaware that the person whose judgment they fear is equally flawed and probably has some even darker skeletons in their closet. A handful of Redditors decided to confess their sins to the world, and here’s a catalog of the best ones we read. But while some of these might be interesting, others are a bit disturbing. Who knows, you might stumble across a confession you’ve been wanting to get off your chest.
