The Confession Thread

[Loves Vintage]

I will also add my confession, and perhaps someone can help me with this. I know it is wrong to judge other people for how they spend their money, but I do, frequently. I think it was Haven who posted a long time ago, that her mother would often say, "Don't count other people's money." I really like this expression. It makes sense, and I wish I didn't, but I do.

Ohhhhh, this guy at work just bought a second car for himself. A new one. For weekends only. He is married. Children are grown. Why is he spending so much on a frivolous car? Shouldn't he be saving for retirement? Sigh, why do I care??????

I think this must have something to do with the fact that my DH helped convert me into a saver. I never used to be. So, I guess because I am more careful about money, now I expect other people to be too? I am unsure why I have this about money only though. Well, and some child-rearing things too. Sorry!

ETA: Ohhh, thinking about this some more. It also has to do somewhat with how I value things people spend their money on. Now, the car to me is just a complete waste! If he spent the money on travel, well, I don't think I would have given it a second thought. So judgmental, I am, I am!!

[Amber St. Clare]

I'm a gossipy, judgemental bitch.

I'm also a substance abuser.

I NEVER pick up the phone, even if it is my elderly MIL.

I turn right on red even if the sign prohibits.

 

[jaysonsmom]

-I'm super frugal, and keep clothing for eons!

-I judge people who spend a lot on looking good (salons, mani-pedis, facials)

-I am a closet eater, I wait until dh leaves the table, and I grab seconds, and thirds

-I'm a shoe hoarder. I love buying new ones, and I don't purge old ones

-I have a superiority complex, especially towards dh. I feel like I'm too good for him!

If you come to my house unexpectedly, it's pretty messy. I rarely make the bed and there will probably be dog hair tumbleweeds under the chairs. Sometimes I wash the dishes the next morning.

But if I know you're coming, you'll be amazed at how neat we are.



ETA: I don't exercise at all. I'm lazy and fairly out of shape. I figure since I'm still a size 6, I can slide. I'm pretty sure I have the cardiovascular system of a 600 lb man, though.

 

[manderz]

I cry when I get mad, or really tired, or too frustrated.
I procrastinate.
I use google translate to complete my spanish assignments, because I simply don't have the time or energy to really do it.
I swear too much.
I'm not patient enough with clients.
I complain about my weight, and don't do anything about it.
I don't spend enough time with my grandmothers.
I want to quit school right now. Not really, I really want to get my masters, or maybe my phd, but at this point, it's so far away, and I'm SO burned out, I can hardly stand the thought of finishing this semester.
My house is a mess.
I'm too apathetic.

 

[biggerliz]

I only go to the gym 3-4x a week.
I don't eat enough veggies (only 3 servings a day).
I get annoyed when other people are rude to me!

 

[Puppmom]

Ok, I hope DH never reads this.

I'm lazy.
I'm bossy.
I call out my own faults in others but never admit they're mine.
I'm overprotective of my kids even though I know it's no benefit to them.
I'm anti-social. Hanging out with others seems so fun *in theory* but, when the time comes, I never want to.
I never check my personal voicemail.

I'm sure there's more but I'm starting to feel bad about myself so this will do!

 

[allycat0303]

I'm a people pleaser, and expend too much energy on people that don't give a crap and will take advantage of me.
And then I get sad/angry when I'm taken for granted (which is often).
I spend too much time ruminating on death/dying etc. Coupled with my history, I have a sneaking suspicion it's not healthy.
I have beyond unhealthy eating habits, and a body image that is severely distorted.
I don't have female friends. It's probably one of the saddest parts of my life. I often go shopping alone, and watch girlfriends shopping alone and it makes me so sad, it's unbearable.

HUGS ally! I know that your super busy with work but if you are EVER in the GTA or just need a vacation to relax you're more than welcome at our home (if you come before Oct there won't be a baby-after that I can't guarantee a peaceful night
I haven't really ever had female friends either. It's improved a bit since I'm a bit older but I still can't connect with most women like I can men. Unless they are super confident in who they are and not threatened by my personality (which I don't understand why they would be?) then I find we click and get along pretty great. So don't feel alone in that one. HUGS!

 

[NOYFB]

I'm a gossipy, judgemental bitch.

This. And I don't care, which is probably worse.

Also...
I have serious road rage issues
I have a very short temper
I drink too much, but I'm better at this now that I've been going to the gym 3-4x/week
I never make my bed unless I know we're having company
I don't clean as often as I should
I hold serious grudges


Gah...I sound like a total bitch! LOL

 

[Amys Bling]

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.

this is me... i totally ok with being alone and reading... I feel like I should be in better contact with friends and get together more- but i so enjoy quiet time.

 

[rosetta]

I don't call my parents enough

I don't exercise

I eat too many chips

I bear grudges

I'm messy because I'm too lazy to clean

I find cooking dull
