There are all kinds of reasons to keep secrets from the people in your life, like protecting yourself, protecting them, or avoiding judgment or legal repercussions. But keeping a secret can be very isolating. This is where the internet can be useful as a platform for sharing. It's ike confession at Church....kind of. Just make sure you're using a pseudonym!
In a popular Reddit thread, someone asked: "What’s the one secret you’ve never dared tell anyone else?"
1.) From bubty:
I have a toy dog. I carry her around the house (parents don't comment on it) and she means so much to me. I always make sure she can see the TV properly or is tucked under a blanket so she's warm. Objectivly I know she's not alive, but she is for me. She talks me through things and is almost like my conscience. I'm 23
