Sunday Confessions: 10-6-24

"I use my earring post as a toothpick."

For more Sunday Confessions, read the archive.

We must’ve cut through a cord while doing some gardening over the weekend. I’m embarrassed to admit that going three days without internet was more frustrating than I anticipated. Aside from not being able to work from home hardly at all, just the lack of background noise on the television made the time trickle by slower than normal. With so many people going through so many worse things in the world right now, yes, I feel a bit guilty that this is my biggest Sunday complaint.

Sometimes I use dating apps just to be mean to men.

Recently quit drinking. And i’m terrified of what my social life will turn out to be.

Why is it easier to parent when my spouse is out of town?

I’m in a friends wedding next year and am already prepping to phase the couple out of my life.

All my friends are starting to get pregnant and I’m terrified I’m going to lose them because I’m not ready for that part of my life yet. I’m so incredibly happy for them and excited, but I’m not ready for things to change.

Part of me wants to use men for their bodies because I’m chronically horny and the vibrators just aren’t doing it for me, but unfortunately for my hormones, it goes against my moral code to use people like that / have sex without being in a committed relationship.

Was sleeping with a 40 year old. I’m 27. Turns out he has a gf. Her and I work together.

If I got fired tomorrow I’d be quite content.

I resigned from my teaching position due to ongoing anxiety attacks. I will never go back into teaching and it feels liberating.

Haven’t drank in 7 weeks and finally starting to feel like myself again.

I think I’m way too dumb to survive the world I live in.

I love working from home but I miss knowing if I’m still the hot one at the office.

BCC’ing my admin and nosey coworkers in heated email threads is my guilty pleasure.

Went on a date with an a good decent guy… after the date I told him I was going home… but really went to my FWB house who barely acts like I exist but I’m convincing myself is secretly in love with me.

Husband went to strip club so I re-added my ex on Instagram.

I didn’t check work voicemails for 2 months….just deleted them all without listening.

I constantly make fun of older generations for not knowing how to work technology, but troubleshooting my printer this morning had me in tears (I’m 26).

I fell for the Dyson Airwrap hype based off Instagram influencers. I’d love to have that $600 back.

I think I need to break up with my hairstylist.

I was on a date last night where he talked so much that I almost kissed him just to shut him up.

I secretly live with my boss.

I pushed my sister down when I was a 7. She broke her arm and I said she fell. I think my parents still believe the lie. Do I tell them now? I'm 30.

Coming home from a yoga retreat. I hated it. I feel mentally worse now than I did before.

I have no desire to drink or smoke anymore and I wish my friends supported the new me.

my wholesome night ended up with my toes in someone’s mouth.

I just took a pregnancy test (I’m a virgin).

We have Monday off as a public holiday but I also fully intend to chuck a sickie on Tuesday to hang with my best friend.

Facetimed my summer fling drunk on my 22nd birthday. He’s 32 and lives in Stockholm. Ended the call saying he could come stay with me.

I went to the cheapest tackiest wedding this weekend and I am now regretting how much cash I put in the card.

I miss my parents.

i want to quit my teaching job and become a sex worker.

I always have supported my friends businesses. When I started my business, no one shows up for me. It’s sad.

I have a crush on my boss’s son.

So down bad for a college boy.

Went to a wedding this weekend and realised I don’t have any close friends that could ever say that many nice things about me.

I’m pregnant and for the last couple of weeks people have been asking me if I can feel the baby move. I keep saying no not yet but really this week I have felt him. I just don’t want to share every detail of my pregnancy with every single person I know.

I think my vaping habit is getting worse.

I use my earring post as a toothpick.

I feel only dread for this week coming back after having had the most relaxing vacation filled with my favorite things - fall colors, reading, and weed.

I don’t care how many doctors tell me otherwise, I’ll never stop using q-tips to clean as deep into my ears as possible.

Lied to my boss about having COVID so I could leave town for a week to take a vacation in Chicago.

I’m 21. Switching majors. And am finding out today in 9 months. If I will be a father. To a girl I met at the bar.

I worked so hard to become a lawyer, got my dream job with an incredible firm in Chicago.. I’m 30 years old and I’m pretty sure I hate it.

I am in my late 40s. I don’t know when semicolons are necessary. Commas are iffy too.

I am blond, and sometimes get a few black hairs that pop up only around my nipples. I am so effing self-conscious of them.

I get high before every single one of my kids’ sporting events. It’s the only way through.

I feel guilty for living far from my parents. I miss them so much.

Sometimes I hide from my kids in the bathroom. I sit on the toilet doing the crossword on my phone until my feet fall asleep.
