Welcome to the Secret Confessions thread. Beyond the pure anonymity of the internet, there lies a certain level of understanding behind all the accounts here on FF. The SC account carries burden of allowing the user to give a candid, private confession with (hopefully) understanding feedback. The SC thread is for other posters to give kind and/or helpful advice, words of empathy, or a secret of their own (under the SC name or not).
This account is a group account, and EVERYONE needs to treat it respectfully. By posting under the Secret Confessor, you are pledging to refrain from hate mail, "finger-pointing", insulting and being a jerkface. By posting in the SC thread, you are pledging to keep the comments respectful. This has not yet been a problem, but it's nice to have written down "just in case".
If you would like to use the SC account for ANY reason beside posting in this thread, please PM me- even if it's under the SC name (this is not to exert authority, but to maintain order over a very accessible account).
I'm so sorry, love. But, what Lamp said. If he was able to move on that quickly then it was probably for the best, it sounds as if the power was very unevenly distributed...
I never tell anyone, but I hate being called smart in school.
I hate having the feeling that people want me in their group because I'm "smart" so they can do less work. I know I say tha I don't mind, but when everyone sits there and watches me do the work, I wish someone would say that they want to do it instead.
It makes me feel like I'm being used.
I've had nearly ten years of being used by someone I thought was nice.
Been there... actually, I was there about two hours ago, in all honesty.
Let your control-freak-perfectionist side come out. When you're working in a group with people who actually want control, you might realize how much nicer it was to get it all to yourself.
And, that person's a bitch. Not everyone's going to use you with bad intentions like that.

Been there, love. It's not a fun situation to be in, except I had no feelings for him after some point. And If you find that the relationship only causes you problems, I recommend you leave, even if it hurts you to potentially hurt them. If you find you're still happy, then stay. But the hardest thing to learn (and I realize I may come off as a selfish bitch while saying this) is that you should come first. Be selfish. At least while you're young. You have time to be selfless when you have children and a husband and parents to take care of.
My band director cancelled practice tonight since we only have one game left and no competitions, so my brother wanted to go to Craig's Cruiser's (like Cuck-E-Cheese for teens) with some friends. Normally, I wouldn't care, but his plan was to tell my mom that he was going to band, so I had two choices: A) 1. Blatantly lie to my mom, and 2. risk punishment if we got caught (pretty likely). Or I could've done B) PIssed of my brother. I chose B, and he's... pissed (and grounded, again).
