Yes, I suppose complimenting people you don't know in irl and feeling good about said compliments does seem odd. But obsessing and going out of your way to make people who participated feel bad...is way weird too. Welcome to the club weirdo!

My DH is in such a bad mood and acting so awful I just want to stuff him in a box. He never acts like this. I don't know why he had to pick today. I know I should be patient, but he is no fun to be around at the moment. I had a horrible, horrible day at work. I got to have a meeting about a little girl whose dad is in prison, mom is homeless and on drugs, and grandma can't be bothered to bring her to school half the time. I can't teach her if she is not at school. It was super fun getting to explain that to grandma during my lunch (half) hour without sounding judgmental. At least grandma showed up this time. So , yeah, I didn't have a great day either, honey! Also it's the first day of my period, so either shut up or bring me some chocolate, or both.

I have been facing depression and anxiety with a tendency towards OCD. I keep this quiet and don't tell everyone.I don't want anyone knowing what is wrong with me because I don't want to be pitied. It takes all I have to do to keep my cool and keep to my comfort methods. The one time I did disclose to a friend, she totally shut me down by trying to tell me that what I am going through is nothing compared to her mental history. I felt like she was competing with me over something I don't want to deal with but have to. I got sick of her constant Facebook posts about her issues and every conversation surrounding her problems not just mentally but telling me sexual secrets of her husband.Whenever she got into a fight with her husband (at my house) or said something rude, she would get quiet and say "Whoa, there is my anxiety again." It got to be too much that I realized that I had to cut her off for my own sanity. I feel like a bad friend but I just can't be friends with someone who uses her mental issues as an excuse for her bad behavior.

I could be at deaths door and my mother would still tell me I am faking or lying. I hated growing up because no one was ever allowed to just relax and do nothing. No sleeping in, no staying home from school sick. She never babysits unless it's medical/emergency related because she doesn't believe mothers deserve a break. The she complains I didn't have a big family like she did- if I don't get a break from two kids (one with medical issues) why would I have more? My DH always sides with her and I just want to tell them both to fuck off. I am not a bad parent for taking a nap when I haven't slept in days.

Is it bad or just pathetic that I know exactly what I'd do with my life if my husband suddenly died? He's got a ginormous life insurance policy, and I already have that life planned out. Quiet, solitude, in happy little town that has a farmers market and nobody knows me there.

Dh is making an effort to form a bond and relationship with ds1. The thing is instead of either making up his own games to play or waiting till ds and I are done he just kinda barges in and takes over. Ds is 16 months, dh has been gone for 11 of them, and around but not very active with him for another 2 or 3... I try to tell him but he doesn't understand...he can't rough house with him like I do... Or sneak up on him...I just feel so bad seeing him try and look so disappointed when ds cries and runs to me.

There was a bag of green beans in the fridge. Expiration date was yesterday. I opened it, and they were all slimy and gross. I would have done what I could to salvage some of them, but it smelled bad too. I hate when I waste food, but I feel like this time it wasn't my fault.

Okay, this will sound bad and seem like I'm ungrateful, but I have to vent it.but my DHs uncle is not a photographer. He comes to our parties and brings his expensive camera and shoots the whole party. I'm grateful because I don't have time to take pics since I'm hosting but really, he doesn't take good shots. All the pics of are guests with mouths open ready to take a bite with an awful look or heads cut off, or of peoples backs. I'm glad my husband and a few friends take pics from their phones and those come out so much more flattering. I'm so glad he didn't shoot our wedding.

It's was me. First, calm down. Second, because the new truu site was just starting, and a little slow paced, I didn't know having some people from the facebook group post anonymous compliments to one another on here would ruin everyone's day. People had to volunteer, and no full names were used, and no one knew who had who. I had them do it anonymously over here because, as all of you that are not in the facebook group point out every 5 confessions, it's a little more open when no one knows who you are, agreed. I gave each person someone and there weren't many, so if you wait long enough your misery of seeing someone hear something nice about themselves, who may or may not have been told something like that in a long time, will be over before you know it. Finally, we aren't all bffs we don't all know each other well, but the person that made this site introduced it, and debuted it, in the facebook group. I really LIKE IT that people that AREN't in the facebook group are here, I even asked about it the other day, but if you're pissed because the majority of people here are in the group... "you're gonna have a bad time." Regards

Dear me: you're not so bad. You did what you could. Give yourself a break, ok?
