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).
Boys and girls have different systems of logic. I'd give an example, but I'd be declared as wrong because girls objectively and subjectively are two different things (they are the former, but mainly think they are the latter).
Tell her that she's beautiful and you love her every day. No matter how old it gets to either of you, if you hear something repeatedly, it will help on some level. She might not believe it immediately, but it'll help a little bit.
I've liked him for years, and we're dating now. But I think I may be lesbian. It's tearing me up, because I cant tell anybody. My parents wouldn't take it well, and my friends just aren't close enough. Only my best friend is.
And... I like her more than I like him. Her being my bff since elementary school.
So I can't tell my best friend without completely ruining our friendship. I mean, she knows I'm already bi, but I can't just go and say "Hey, I'm lesbian and I love you."
