Everybody has kept a secret at least once in their lives, and chances are you might be keeping one right now. Hiding a part of yourself from the world isn’t really wrong, but it’s something that could weigh heavily on your conscience.
Minor secrets aren’t such a big deal to folks, and they might not even worry if everything came out into the open. On the other hand, some people have big skeletons in their closet that could ruin their life if it ever came out, which is why they’d never tell even their loved ones. This list is full of shocking things folks will never open up about in real life, but are willing to share anonymously on the Internet, so hold on to your socks.

I tell everyone I'm 5–10 lbs lighter than I really am, and no one notices. I also eat fast food occasionally after work in my car (while on my period) so that I don't have to share... I promptly get rid of the trash before I walk into my house and pretend it never happened.

I think I was in love with my best friend in high school, but didn't realize it until years later. I'd NEVER act on it, though; I just couldn't get enough of her presence. We were really close, and she happens to be undeniably gorgeous. I don't feel that way now because we are both with our true loves, and I couldn't be happier where we are.

I know my coworker cheated on his now-wife the night before their wedding. I have not told her because she is a very violent person and would likely shoot the messenger, so to speak. They are a match made in hell anyway.

I left the light on for 2 weeks while my family and I went out on a trip to Seattle. My dad would be pissed if he knew about it.

I don't feel a lot of emotions. I normally sit on a spectrum that goes from satisfied to angry. I've been criticized in the past for not being particularly joyful, but I don't often feel joy, excitement, or bliss. I don't think it's a depression thing — I'm plenty 'happy,' motivated, and content — I just don't really feel typical in that way.

I might appear happy, may be making slight headway in my dream career, working another job where I'm paid more than I've ever been, but I'm miserable. I hate my life.

I listen to, but generally don't watch, several hours' worth of ASMR per day. Not even to fall asleep, just to relax.

I never actually graduated culinary school. I was short a math class and they let me walk at graduation anyway.
20 years later and no one in my life has a clue except me.

I think people think im rude because I dont say hello to them in public if I see them. But really when I was a teenager I had so many moments where I said hi to people I knew and they had no idea who I was and this made me feel like im an incredibly forgettable person and im afraid that they wont know who I am.
