Human beings contain multitudes. And sometimes, people who seem relatively &quot;normal&quot; (sane, grounded, socially integrated, functional, etc.) are harboring secrets beyond what anyone could have imagined. In fact, people who seem the most &quot;normal&quot; on the surface are often the ones with the deepest, darkest secrets. But we should&#39;ve all learned this by now from watching True Crime shows. Basically, trust no one.<h2>In a popular Reddit thread, someone <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/comments/2kd2l5/serious_what_is_the_creepiest_confession_most/" target="_blank">asked</a> people to share the creepy and disturbing confessions they&#39;ve heard from people who seemed &quot;normal.&quot;</h2>I&#39;ve compiled the best/worst responses so get ready, things are about to get weird.Never underestimate an old Russian lady:1.) From <a data-testid="comment_author_link" href="https://www.reddit.com/user/PowerWordCoffee/">PowerWordCoffee</a>:<blockquote> I used to help out at a nursing home. This old Russian lady would relate the same tale over and over. Her husband drank and hit her. It was sad for sure. But one day she leaned over and whispered &quot;he was asshole drunk, so I pushed him down stairs. Dead.&quot; </blockquote><div className="ad-splitter"></div>This is pretty bad houseguest behavior. Almost as bad as staying too long.2.) From <a data-testid="comment_author_link" href="https://www.reddit.com/user/Susansays/">Susansays</a>:<blockquote> I had a friend confess that every time he stayed at my apartment (which was frequently, because we lived in different countries, sometimes he would stay for a month+ at a time) he watched me sleep. I woke with him staring at me, he was literally inches away from my face just staring and I freaked out, he broke down and confessed. My husband was asleep next to me! That was the most creepy for sure. It also ended our friendship. </blockquote>3.) From <a data-testid="comment_author_link" href="https://www.reddit.com/user/Keystoner/">Keystoner</a>:<blockquote> A colleague confessed that she had sex with her brother. She also told me she despises her brother&#39;s wife because she is in love with her brother and is insanely jealous of his life and kids. She has never had a relationship and fears she will never be married or have kids of her own. </blockquote><div className="ad-splitter"></div>Always be nice to the quiet ones.4.) From [deleted]:<blockquote> There was this girl in my school who I think was a selective mute; she only talked to a few people, and I was one of them. Then she told me that I&#39;d never be on her hit list. </blockquote>Upholding a web of lies seems exhausting.5.) From <a data-testid="comment_author_link" href="https://www.reddit.com/user/astrobibliophobia/">astrobibliophobia</a>:<blockquote> Had an absolutely charming, incredibly smart-looking close friend for a few years. It took me about 1.5-2 years to find out everything about her life was a lie. Even the smarts, she&#39;d read some detailed article on a subject and present ideas as if they were her own, but never knew anything deeper. Pretended to speak many languages by secretly watching a foreign movie with subs on, then &quot;translating&quot; some cool scenes to us. </blockquote><div className="ad-splitter"></div><blockquote> She made up a story about her father abusing her mom to make excuses for failing her uni exams, lied to people about being a medical student to look smart, and would give them very dangerous advice, lied to her family about being a brilliant medical student (don&#39;t know if they believed her), and about many, many other things. </blockquote>This is basically the plot of Yellowjackets (no spoilers):6.) From <a data-testid="comment_author_link" href="https://www.reddit.com/user/Cats_Of_Olympus/">Cats_Of_Olympus</a>:<blockquote> That they have had cannibalistic thoughts in the past </blockquote>When Happy Hour becomes Tragic Hour.7.)

He&#39;s a loveable 40-something dude, who just drinks vodka and laughs infectiously all day long. A textbook carefree scamp. Every couple of months everyone from work heads to a bar that hook us up with half price drinks for that particular night. It&#39;s pretty sweet... So anyway, this Polish dude and i were at the end of a long 10 person bench laughing about nothing and drinking ice cold cruiser, after ice cold cruiser. It was great. </blockquote><div className="ad-splitter"></div><blockquote> Eventually we (somehow) got onto the topic of what he did before he came to England... After a few brews his English became even more scattered, but he did try, bless him. So he says he was in the army and so on and so forth, after which he said &#39;I shoot 7 men dead&#39;. Now that might not seem too heavy for you, but it blew me away... He was on the front-lines during the Kosovan war (from what i could gather). </blockquote><blockquote> I couldn&#39;t, and didn&#39;t want to, get too much more out of him due to the language barrier. Also, some gnarly, illegal shit happened during that war, which I don&#39;t think i could bear to know about. Keep smiling, Pete </blockquote>Do not invite Scott over to your house.8.)
