Welcome to Sunday Confessions. Each Sunday through Sunday Scaries Instagram stories, readers submit their totally-anonymous confessions. Because sometime it just feels good to get off your chest.
If I’ve learned anything from doing Sunday Confessions over the last year-and-a-half (or so), it’s that everyone’s going through something that you may never realize they’re going through. It could be good, it could be bad, it could be hilarious, it could be embarrassing.
This week, I received more submissions than I’ve ever received. While I’ve become somewhat numb to reading the bad ones, I do think the process has made me somewhat more empathetic than I previously was.
And that’s a good thing.
Here are all this week’s confessions.
i do think i’m better than everyone because i’m in therapy
Large girl groups of friends where they all look the same really freak me out.
I posted thirst trap photos from a clearly visible location at the gym pool to see if my ex would notice and show up. It worked.
I let my dog lick my face even though she eats her own poop.
I go to the hardware store every Saturday morning like clockwork just to look at hot men.
I’m happy we are starting to lose daylight again. Ready for cozy dark evenings and red wine.
I stayed up until 2 a.m. eating ice cream and watching the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders on Netflix. I definitely didn’t do my skin care routine either.
I steal work office supplies to save money on back to school items for my kids.
I’m dating a coke dealer.
I buy bagged ice because I’m too lazy and uncoordinated to walk the ice cube trays five feet from the sink to the freezer.
More often than not, the sex dreams I have are more fulfilling than the real life sex I have with my husband.
Trying to quit my job for the third time this week. My boss keeps telling me I’m emotional and to think it through. I’m not.
Editor’s Note: Run.
My crush doesn’t have an instagram so I secretly creep on his girlfriend’s page hoping one day she’ll post that they broke up.
My feet smell so bad I have to wash them before yoga class.
Working at the front desk of a high-end hotel has made me lose hope in humanity.
It blows my mind how many people, who are just dumber than dirt, are in prominent leadership positions in corporate organizations. The fact that I have to babysit my boss who can’t even write out a sentence with appropriate grammar or punctuation, but is 3 levels above me and makes $100k more than me, infuriates me.
Went home with a grown ass man last night who didn’t even have a sheet on his mattress. But he made me squirt. Twice. It's called balance.
The guy I’ve been casually hooking up with asked me if I wanted to have a threesome with him and my best friend. I think that’s my 13th reason tbh.
I’m probably the naked neighbor from a previous Sunday Confessional. I don’t mind being watched.
DD’d for friends last night. The feeling of elitism that comes with not having a hangover is arguably better than being drunk at the bars.
Ran out of toilet paper, using washcloths in place of it.
Three men think I’m their girlfriend.
I wore my situationship’s tshirt home, and have been masturbating multiple times a day while huffing his smell from it. Criminally heterosexual against my will.
My cat not only chews on my toothbrush but I also found out this week he also plays with my face scrubber and I still use both.
I think I have a g-spot in my ear.
I’ve read six romance books in the last month. I fear I’ll never be able to date again because I won’t be able to find a man IRL that tops my book boyfriends.
Ate so many pickles that my farts smelled like straight up pickle juice.
I had a 3-hour coked out conversation with my two friends last night and it was healing.
My ass is so sunburned idk how I’ll be able to sit down at work.
The world can’t end before I get the chance to punch my ex’s mom in the face.
My boyfriend keeps looking for something I threw away months ago.
My sister told me she won’t be coming to her nieces 3rd birthday party and chose her friend’s child’s party instead. She used ChatGPT to tell me. My feelings are so hurt.
Found out my boyfriend was gay last night, I don’t know how to tell him I know.
A band member for a major country music artist is in my DMs. He’s asking to give me foot rubs and suck my toes.
Accidentally caught my father-in-law watching porn.
I used my PTO to recover from the PTO I used the week before.
Sometimes, when my sales director boss emphasizes how much our team needs to sell for the week, I root for all of us to fail because it reflects poorly on him.
I’m 37 years old and just found out my Dad isn’t my real Dad.
I take my shirt off when I go home for lunch so I don’t get my work clothes dirty.
Truly devastated that I am attracted to men.
Been asking ChatGPT what to do if we are in a war. I’m so cooked.
My best friend of nearly 25 years doesn’t remember my birthday. Not sure if I should let it bother me (it does) or if I should let it go because “we’re adults.”
I should dump him. Instead I keep him around because he enjoys going down on me so badly.
My daughter almost caught me purchasing a vibrator on our Target run.
It’s really hard being a therapist in this political climate and sometimes I want to quit.
"My sister told me she won’t be coming to her nieces 3rd birthday party and chose her friend’s child’s party instead. She used ChatGPT to tell me. My feelings are so hurt."
I hope you at least called her out for using ChatGPT! People really think they can get away with using a robot to talk to us, smh.
