Sunday Confessions: 9-8-24

"My friends all like to think they're wine snobs but they only like California Cab Sauvs."

Sep 09, 2024

While this isn’t Worst Mondays on the Instagram stories, I’m not exactly having the best Monday. After coming down with a stomach bug yesterday afternoon, I found myself hunched over the toilet around 8:30 last night. Needless to say, I’ve got quite the Panic Room going: Industry, ramen noodles, and a nap scheduled for immediately upon finishing this week’s confessions.

I used ChatGPT to help me write thoughts that were used at my Aunt’s Memorial service.

Hooked up with my ex last night and we both still don't want to get back together.

Single woman in her mid-30s, never had a relationship and yes, still a virgin. I love the season I’m in and wouldn’t mind adding a man to it but am consistently told that men are threatened by my “status” as the founder of a very large organization. Wondering if there are any confident men left.

Moving to a new country tomorrow, and is it bad that I don’t feel bad for cutting out toxic friends is the process?

I pump in the “wellness room” at work. Every time I throw anything in the trash there, I see losing scratch tickets in the can. Every. Single. time. What sociopath is using the wellness room to scratch so many losing lottery tickets?

I’m not going to take the full time role with the company I helped build. But they don’t know that yet.

I don’t know when I became the 29-year-old woman that can’t stop thinking about the 22-year-old man at work with the blue eyes and the uk accent… fml.

I started my own business less than a year ago and now have very little interest in it.

They say the way to find your perfect lipstick color is to match your nipples. But aren't your lips and nipples already the same color? Mine are.

I was sexting a guy driving back home after dinner with my family yesterday, and wanted to immediately give him the somewhat more suggestive picture he asked for. I rear ended the car in front of me.

i made out with a groomsman at my best friend’s wedding and now we’re talking but now i’m obsessed with him and i think he’s losing interest

It’s getting really hard to be the poor friend.

I’m really salty that my job fired me. But it was a blessing. I got a new job a week later. High pay and better benefits.

I cut back on drinking and have realized I don’t actually like most of my friends while sober.

I think a shower beer could fix me.

I’ve been in love with my best friend for almost 6 years. They just announced they are moving away. I’m devastated.

I want to stop drinking. But as a single man in his late twenties, I am petrified of the social and dating ramifications.

If I don't get promoted by October, I'm out.

My friends all like to think they're wine snobs but they only like California Cab Sauvs.

I love looking inside the tissue after blowing my nose.

Traveling for work this week. Keep telling everyone I don’t want to go but secretly thrilled to get away from my 3 y/o for a few days.

Every time I text him, it feels like I'm giving up everything. He's the toxic one I can't seem to let go of. I'm 34 and should know better, but even if I lost everything and still had him, I think I'd feel complete.

I’ve gotten extremely fast in solving the NYT Mini Crossword, and my friends & family are always in awe. However… I’ve been slightly cheating by quickly pausing the game to think of the answer - not to look them up. My fastest time is like 12 seconds.

Haven’t told anyone that I’m learning to golf at 40. And I’m really enjoying it! Never thought I would be into it, but it’s fun!

My dog has separation anxiety and really limits what I can do (trips, date nights etc). Sometimes I look forward to no longer having her. That feels so awful to say.

Sexting… on LinkedIn.

Spent the weekend watching my sister's kids at a wedding. Exhausted and no longer certain I want kids.

I hate my best friend’s boyfriend. He’s a total jerk when she’s not around but lights up the room with positivity when she is present. A real life Jekyll and Hyde. I recorded his nasty behavior and I want to share with her. I’m scared that she’ll be upset with me, but how can I not? He’s awful, so fake, and needs to be exposed.

I’m getting married in less than a week and I’m so annoyed more people have not sent presents.

I just want to quit my high paying job and work at a coffee shop actually.

I love candy corn.

A guy ghosted me, took him back when he apologized. FaceTimed for hours every night, flew to see him, hooked up multiple times then the day after I left he ghosted me.

I’ve been stalling on accepting a pretty good job offer because I’ve been holding out for a job offer that’s better on every metric that I’m 98% sure I’ll be receiving. Preparing to come off like a jerk to the first offer.

I love yellow starbursts.

My husband got Covid right before our trip to see my parents 500 miles away…obvi not his fault but trying not to rage at him.

Being in a relationship and balancing time with friends is so hard for me. I miss being single and seeing my friends more than I do now.

Wife is pregnant. I’m excited to be a father but terrified I won’t know what to do.

I got a promotion and raise I definitely did not deserve.

always secretly hoping my crush posts something about me here and that I just know it’s about me.

I like watching football, but I mostly like using it as an excuse to sit on my couch and drink beer.

Dropped my last kid off to college. House is empty. Thought I would sad, but I'm actually enjoying them being gone!

While playing a game, my friends unanimously voted me the nicest person in the group and it made me feel so happy and honored that I am viewed that way.

Made out with someone at the wedding reception and my dad not only witnessed it but brought it up the next day at the airport.

Got back from a big weekend in Amsterdam last week. Morning meetings back in the office go smoothly (I think), but randomly get a message from my MD asking if I’m free for a quick meeting at 11am. Initially confused as we have don’t have anything to catchup on/ don’t think I’ve screwed anything up. I agree and head into his office. He then proceeds to ask me why I looked so sad in the morning meeting. Guess the come down hit me stronger then I realised.

I feel addicted to Instagram, and even though I know how to quit it, I just can't.

I was laid off from my tech job last week after surviving the first two lay offs over two years. I’m relieved that I have to find something else. It had been miserable after the reductions in force and we all had way too much work. I feel bad for the people who are left.

I went to a wedding with a bunch of former coworkers and started stress drinking. I haven’t had a hangover like this since Obama was in office.

I still don’t understand how birds have sex and at this point I’m too scared to ask someone or google it (don’t want to see pics of it).

Something about fall weather makes me wanna text my ex.

Anytime I want to go to a sporting event I never buy tickets ahead of time. I just go and flirt with men and they always end up purchasing for me or giving me a ticket. I could feel badly about this but maybe men shouldn’t be so predictable.
