When I was a teenager, I kept countless secrets from my parents. I concocted elaborate stories about where I was and who I was with to conceal the truth many times, and it’s probably best that they never find out what I was actually up to. Nowadays, however, I feel like I can share almost anything with my family. We’re all adults, and I don’t have anything to hide. But if you do, you’re not alone…
Redditors have recently been exposing the juiciest secrets that they’ll never reveal to family members. Some of this information is concealed because it’s not exactly PG, and other secrets are kept to avoid hurting Mom and Dad’s feelings. But there’s nothing wrong with sharing these truths anonymously online! Enjoy reading through the replies, and be sure to upvote the ones you’d keep from your parents as well.

That as a straight guy, secure of my sexuality and gender, I already used eyeliner, lipstick and painted nails. Nothing to write home about, except I felt WAY too comfortable in that, more than just looking goth. I'm a long haired guy, so we all know where this is going.
Taking this to my grave, when it comes to my family knowing. Basically, I am SO into women that I felt kinda comfortable looking like one for a couple hours.

After trying my whole life to believe they were decent people that loved me, I realize that my family is a bunch of self absorbed, idiotic, a******s that are too afraid to improve themselves for fear of losing their ideas of who they are.

I know they like to gossip about me because they do it about each other, too. They're a big bunch of crabs in a bucket. Therefore, I lie about important things in my life sometime. It's hilarious to hear my dad's sisters talk like they know me when they are repeating a lie.

These other answers are so much more intense than mine!
My little secret is that ever since i stopped using birth control (as i am both single and a lesbian, i no longer saw the point), my sexual appetite has gone trough the roof, i have never experienced this before.
For 1 week a month, i will just be going about my day, when suddenly i get insanely h***y?
It does make me feel lonely though, as i have no one to share this with. Hands and fingers it is!

That I quit college 33 hours away from my degree and never graduated. It was Mechanical Engineering, and I hated every bit of it. I was only in it because my parents paid the bill and forced me. Now I do really well financially in IT. But I feel like this lie coming to light would tear my family apart.

I like to occasionally sneak out of the house, and wear a speedo to the beach or pool to tan my legs better.
I’m an American man, married to a woman for 25 years, heterosexual, father, and shamed into covering my body from the waist down in as much fabric as possible in or near the water.

I pawned my parents' wedding rings (they were divorced already and my mom kept them) to pay for college applications and an eighth of sour diesel. It eventually got them to stop having revenge s*x bc they blamed each other for the rings' absence and I'm 37 credit hours in lol I felt like a little s**t for doing it but god my parents hate each other til this day and im almost finished with my degre. Salubrious af for me.

I had s*x with an exchange student my grandmother was hosting (I was 16, she was 17) a week before she met my uncle, whom she married soon after, thus becoming my aunt.
Edit: they are now divorced and she is a US citizen and small business owner. The small business is a B**M shop.
