The Confession Thread

[kenny]

What do you do that you believe is wrong?

I'll go first.

I don't exercise enough.
I roll through stop signs.
I'm a horrible procrastinator.
I probably spend too much on FCDs.
I'm terrible about staying in touch with friends.
If nobody's coming over I let the house get too messy and dirty.
Once in a while I'll hide a favorite food so I don't have to share it.
Sometimes healthy fresh produce goes old and bad in my fridge while the unhealthy food never perishes.

Do you want to tell us how YOU are naughty?

 

[Circe]

I am a terrible holder-of-grudges. I KNOW it would be better for me if I could just let it go and stop thinking about the people who done me wrong ... but instead I periodically have really angry conversations with them in my head.

What a waste of energy ....

Edited the above for myself!! Great minds think alike?

 

[Autumnovember]

Since this is what got me and DH in the biggest blow out fight we've ever had:

-Spend a lot of money on useless BS that I shouldn't be


From this, I've come to the conclusion that I seriously do not value money like I should (or used to/was taught to). Right about now, that's the worst thing about me. All the other stuff is stupid.

 

[Skippy123]

People with who are selfish with big Egos bug me! haha If they are nice w/big egos then I don't care. I avoid the first type!

I spend way too much money at Target! I just got our cc bill, yikes! Too bad I am not spend lots at NM or something. haha

 

[Imdanny]

I drink soda instead of water.
I don't exercise.
I'm not always as nice to people as I should be.
I procrastinate.
I lose my temper.

 

[Dancing Fire]

i envy men with beautiful diamonds...

 

[mayerling]

I don't exercise.
I don't eat healthily.
I don't always follow the rules of the road to the letter.
I sometimes get envious.
I usually can't let things go.

 

[Trekkie]

I talk on the phone while driving, yet complain when others do
I complain about being fat, but don't moderate my food intake, nor do I exercise

-Spend a lot of money on useless BS that I shouldn't be

Same here... I spend waaaay too much money on rubbish.

 

[Missy]

I can hold a grudge though I think of that as small minded and petty I sometimes just cannot help it no matter how much I hate that quality about myself. I think I am improving in this area though...I think for me the key is in believing the other side is truly sorry and then my grudge goes away if that makes sense.

I can be judgmental- again a terrible quality most times and I am working on that as well. Sometimes a little judgment is not a bad thing though.

I am so terribly impatient.

I have a bad temper and react immediately sometimes without thinking things through as much as I should.

I worry too much. It takes so much energy and I am working hard to stop being a worrier. But I worry I won't be able to...

I hate sharing. A lot. This one drives my dh crazy because I even hate sharing with him sometimes LOL.

All of this applies to me, but I don't believe there's all that much wrong with any of it, except the food waste. It isn't something I need to confess to, it's just my personality (and not something I'm open to changing, since well, I quite like it).

What do I do that I actually believe is wrong? Occasionally, I put convenience or price before ethics when I'm shopping. I'm working on it.

 

[makemepretty]

I'm gossipy. Oh, I hate that about me. Not big secret stuff just small everyday annoyances.

What's ironic is I'm the confident of everyone in my extended family so that's why I can't be gossipy about the big secret stuff, because I know them all and don't want to hurt anyone. So, the nitpicky, did you hear? can you believe? kind of gossip tends to fly out of my mouth before I can stuff chocolate into it.

 

[JewelFreak]

LOL! Easy solution: eat more chocolate!

Me, I take procrastination to waaay new levels. Put off getting in touch with friends, think about them for years & "I'll email or call tomorrow"...and tomorrow....and....

I spend too much time pondering on tragedies & sad stuff.

I smoke & don't want to quit. That's selfish.

BUT I'm real nice to my dogs!

[Lottie]

I am a sulker - I hate that about myself!

I completely over think things

I swear (curse) too much and really enjoy it, although currently going cold turkey on that one.

I bought the childrens Easter eggs early this year to put aside and be organised, but have eaten them already.

I secretly took the crappy, far too young for her, turning circle of a cruise liner scooter that my in laws bought N for Christmas to a charity shop and then told dh that I had lost it so that I could get her a decent one - and I'm still not sorry.

I'm a middle of the night 'what if?' worrier about stupid things that are unlikely to happen.

 

[justginger]

I'm also the generally lazy, no exercising, fast food too often type. Not terribly so, but enough to get the guilts.

I'm bad at keeping in touch with people, no matter how much I think of them.

I covet too many sparklies.

I get sucked into terrible reality tv series...a true guilty pleasure.

 

[PetitiePoire]

I'm lazier than I like to be, but have all kinds of things I need to do.

I procrastinate and enjoy the little high I get from rushing around getting things finished last minute.

I take the stairs in order to give myself an excuse not to exercise, then complain about my clothes not fitting.

I am terrible at keeping in touch with people and then feel too awkward after lots of time has passed.

I also hide food. I hate sharing. Really hate sharing.

I think that if I eat equal amounts of fruit that it cancels out the chocolate/sweets that I eat that day.

 

[siamese3]

I don't know whether this thread is depressing me or making me feel better. Kenny, I laughed when I read about hiding favorite food! I'll admit to that on ocassion. Also, I have been known to do the "heavy pack" when dishing up java chip ice cream in my bowl and the "light pack" in dh's bowl . Also tend to go through periods of chosing unhealthy over healthy food. Like Circe, I hold grudges too long, but as I get older, I am trying to let go of that. Judgemental, sometimes. Gossipy, sometimes. I am hard core into worrying and general rumminating. Also, I am an impatient, control freak who overthinks everything. Yikes. I guess I'll stop now because I sound like an absolute nightmare.

edited for sp.

 

[Jennifer W]

I regularly hide food. That isn't a fault, it's a survival technique.

 

[Haven]

I don't make enough effort with the people I love. I am solitary by nature, but I want to be better about calling and visiting the people I love. I think I try to overcompensate for this by hosting big family get-togethers and holidays, but that doesn't help when it comes to my close friends. I could spend weeks on my own and not even feel isolated.

I make snap judgments of people who smoke, and people who use a cell phone while driving.
I know I shouldn't, and I'm trying to be better about it.
Well, the distracted drivers *are* putting everyone else in danger.
See--I can't help myself.

I'm lazy, and I let my DH pick up the slack. He does so without complaint, but that doesn't make it okay.

 

[iLander]

Ugh.

I still smoke a half a cig in the morning. Some evenings as well. Counts as one in my book.

This ^^ pretty much sums up one of the confessions that I have to make. Yet you said it much better than I could have Haven. And unfortunately, I don't overcompensate by hosting large get togethers. This is something I really need to address in my life.

I am also a huge procrastinator, like many others have said, but this occurs mostly in my personal life. My work requires strict adherence to deadlines, and I find myself almost OCD about meeting those deadlines. But in m personal life, I am quite the opposite. I'll put things off for days and weeks, just out of not wanting to exert the effort to deal with particular situations. I think the opposite responses come from my overcompensating at work to meet deadlines. So when it comes to my personal life, I'd rather just not act at all. Not good I know...

I am also not good about sharing. I hide the good, expensive lotion from DH, I hide food in the back of the fridge, and I sometimes get annoyed when he eats off my plate (and he does this ALL the time!). I do have to say that I am getting better at this flaw, because DH loves to share, and I think it makes him feel good when I do share what I have. Yet, sharing does not feel as *natural* for me.

I meant confidant,not confident of course. Should not post pre-coffee.

Oh, I do this too! I'm really bad at staying in touch with friends. Luckily the people I consider "friends" know this and love me anyway.

When I started planning my wedding I contacted my good friend D because I was thinking of having the reception at his beach side hotel...

Only to be told that D had passed away 8 months earlier. Oops.

 

[Begonia]

I am so ashamed.

Lately I've been...

You are all gonna hate me, I just know it. I'm too varied

Oh boy, here goes...

I've not been cleaning out the peanut butter jar and throwing it in the barbage can.

There! I've said it. Admitting you have a problem is the first step.

I do the same; there is nothing wrong with making snap judgments about that! They are selfish and don't care about others they are putting in danger! I get so upset when I am driving with my babies and see people texting next to me; they are going to hit someone!

 

[diamondringlover]

I dont exercise enough
I dont eat very well
I drink too much
I buy diamonds that are un-certed (bought a new rhr ring, not certed)

 

[Porridge]

I'm awfully impatient.
I can't hide my feelings so if I don't like someone it's probably pretty obvious.
I get bored too easily and I like change so I tend to get really excited about things and then drop them like hot potatoes when something newer and shinier comes along.
I eat too much.
I have an awful memory for events and conversations.

 

[soocool]

I lie to people I do not like when they want to get together or be friends. I don't know if that is polite or wrong to lie to them, but I can't just come out and say, "I don't want to be friends with you, ever!"


I love love love my dog, but I am sorry I ever got him. He takes up a lot of my time and I just can't go out at a moment's notice the way I used to. He has really hindered my doing things "spur of the moment." It is really hard to find someone to watch him when I want to go visit DD at school and have had to kennel him.

 

[Maisie]

I over protect my children. Its bordering on being ridiculous now. I should stop watching the news so often and maybe I wouldn't be so scared of the whole world.

I weigh myself twice a day. Obsessed much?

If someone annoys me I retreat to my bedroom. I come back out when i'm in a better mood. Not sure it thats a good or bad thing, but it sure saves everyone from being yelled at!

Same here. It makes me so mad!! So many drivers not looking at the road.
