Sunday Confessions: 3-10-24

"Woke up to four unsent messages to a guy who’s not interested in me."

Often times when I do AMAs on the Sunday Scaries Instagram story, I find myself reading the same question: “Do you still get Sunday Scaries?” And honestly, the answer is normally simple: “No.”

But yesterday, things changed.

I could complain about being back from vacation, but I’m thankful I even got vacation. I could complain about our nice television breaking in the middle of the Tottenham-Villa match, but at least it wasn’t a United match. And I could complain about lugging around furniture all afternoon, but the pain in my back is worth knowing my dad’s visit this week won’t leave him saying, “My son can’t furnish his home?”

So my confession this week? Yeah, I still get Sunday Scaries these days. They’re just not the hungover kind anymore. Well, not as often as before, at least.

This week’s confessions.

I have a second interview for a job on the opposite coast. I’m terrified it will wreck my family’s financial stability if I take it, but I really just can’t stand my current job anymore.

I want to mess around with my coworker and I know he’ll be down for it but I am scared that I might fall for him in the end.

When I go to bookstores, I make sure I hide some of the books that my sister’s horrible ex-roommate wrote. She’s a terrible person and the world doesn’t need more of her shitty writing in it.

The only thing keeping me getting out of bed and going to work is that I had a great interview at another company and am hoping the universe grants me a second interview.

I had a crush on a young colleague at work until he told me, after our long and flirty conversations that he sees me as a guy.

Sometimes I hate being the reliable friend/coworker who everyone knows will step in… sometimes I say no to things that I’m actually available for just to remind myself I can.

I’m in love with my situationship.

I hate my roommates boyfriend so much and I don’t know how to tell her he’s a loser.

I wrote “dick” and then drew a dick on the back of a guy’s dirty Tesla, because it was too close to me that I physically couldn’t get in on the driver side.

I bought myself and my husband snickers ice cream bars on my way home from work on Thursday because I had a bad day. I got home and he had left me home alone to go out with the guys for pickle ball so… I ate them both for dinner. Girl dinner?

I feel like I should quit drinking for mental and physical health reasons but it would obliterate my social life and hamper my dating ability.

Woke up to four unsent msgs to a guy who’s not interested in me, a bed full of tarot cards crippling hangover and now I don’t know if the papa johns pizza order went through or not. Starting ashamed and sad.

Pretending to be sick so I can lay in bed.

I don’t think I love my boyfriend. But he’s so in love, I haven’t been able to pull the trigger. Idk what to do, but it isn’t fair to anyone.

I’m coming to the realization that it isn’t the work environment that’s makes me jump jobs, but maybe I’m just a shitty person.

My boyfriend is 39 and I’m 22.

I don’t know if I have any actual friends left.

I'm so insanely attracted to a college friend it's ridiculous at this point! We're both in relationships, however every so often we do this flirty, "what if" dance.

Ex (from a looong time ago) messaged me and my spouse trying to stir up drama. We both ignored it and blocked him on socials. Used his phone number and address to sign up for info from as many religious institutions as I could think of. Have fun getting visits from the JWs and Scientologists!

I have said I’m not buying another vape for the last 7 vapes.

I can’t stand my best friends husband and avoid him at all costs. I don’t know how to tell her and don’t think I will.

Taking multiple interviews for a new job this week and no one at my work even knows I’m looking.

I’m always the one who shows up for others but never get the same response in return. I’m getting married this spring, and I have seven bridesmaids as my fiancé has seven groomsmen. I always show up for them in various ways but so far only two of my bridesmaids are actively involved in this season of love. I feel like I can’t confront them but they have hurt my feelings.

I’m scared that if I start my own business like I really want to, it will ruin my relationship.

I had 2 dates, and two events on the same weekend. I got extremely drunk on the second event, cancelled my second date and hooked up with a bumble date instead. Terrible sex.

My in-laws drive me insane and sometimes I want to scream at them.

I met a guy about 10 years too late and wish I could tell him how I really feel.

I love my husband more than anything in the world, he’s an amazing partner, father and friend. There is just one issue that I’ve always known about, however, have been thinking about a lot lately. His penis is small. Small in both length and girth. It sucks.

I don't think I actually want the promotion.

Working on scheduling a “let’s meet to discuss this open position” not-technically-an-interview just-coffee during the workweek at a cafe 5 minutes from my office, and secretly hoping someone from work sees that I’m recruitable.

My parents are visiting my sister, whose husband we all hate. I worry that they will start liking him and I’ll be the only one left that hates him.

Made out with a guy at the bar thinking he was also gay, find out later he’s married to a woman.

Had a random hookup and found a mouse laying on the bed the next morning.

Had to pause my Slack notifications because my boss kept sending me messages after 5 pm on Friday and a few on Saturday. I only make under $40,000 a year.

My best friend keeps lying to me about going on dates, and she accidentally left the roses she got last night, at my house after watching my dogs. I’m fuming.

I’m depressed and no one I have told actually believes me.

I sooo wanna quit my job.

The only thing I’m working towards over the next two weeks is my vacation at the end of the month.

My dog ate a used condom from a guy I shouldn’t even be hooking up with.

I think my boyfriend who dumps me every week has finally fully dumped me and I’m okay with it this time.

Paid $73 for YouTubeTV to be able to watch the Oscars. Will unsubscribe at end of month.

My co-worker has really bad breath. She doesn't even need to talk for it to stink up the room... it’s that bad.

I always think these submissions are from my gf and she cheated on me in some form/fashion.

Here’s a chaser of a song that probably hits pretty well today.
