Sometimes the only way to feel relief after keeping a secret for years is to finally tell someone. Whether it’s a traumatic event that you’d rather not relive or a family secret that’s been trapped in your mind for decades, some secrets are better out in the open where they can finally be reasoned with, dealt with and forgotten.
These real-life stories were shared online by people who just couldn’t keep their secrets to themselves anymore. Some of them had huge personal secrets that they just couldn’t hide any longer, while others just needed to get a few embarrassing moments off of their chests. And the only way they could share their unique stories was anonymously online.
