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 have no idea what it feels like to lose a parent, but I came close just about a year ago, with my mother's cancer.
I am so sorry, after what you've been through it IS really unfair. You have every right to be sad or upset (if you can squeeze in a few tears to the person taking away your dog and maybe play the sympathy card a bit....) I'm so sorry that you have to go through this, but you need to talk to someone about it. *Huggles* We're all here for you, in one way or another.
I am tired of feeling unnoticed, invisible. Even with the people who are supposed to be my closest friends. It's just... I'm reasonably certain that if I disappeared tomorrow they wouldn't be overly affected. Fixing it seems so simple too, but I can't seem to manage it. And part of me is just tired of trying....
Involved. They've been my group for, most of them, four years now. Some less, some a lot more. I see them, spend time with them every school day. And outside of school, while we don't go out constantly, we still do things together sort of regularly. So the fact they seemed to have some how tuned out my existence, even while I'm right there with them, stings just a tad.
