Confessing

Yes this happens to me! All the time! I feel the need to tell every detail no matter how difficult it is it uncomfortable it is for me. I do this so I can get a ‘fair’ judgement from people.

My brain also convinces me that if I leave anything out it’s because I’ve been ‘manipulative’ and ‘sneaky’

Ugh this is me!! I feel you.

Me too like I’m lying cus I left certain things out cus they are too difficult to talk abt

I’ve experienced this, and didn’t know it was a thing until I’ve joined this community. I’ve confessed things that were absolutely ridiculous and unnecessary all because the urge was so strong. I’ve gotten better with this although it’s definitely a tough one

Yes! Like if I don’t state everything they won’t believe me, or think I’m lying or faking it. Or they’ll misunderstand what I’m trying to say, which is a big thing for me. I find myself repeating myself a lot if I forget something, or if I felt like I wasn’t listened to properly, like I should probably reword so they understand exactly what I’m trying to convey, which is very hard as someone with a very small vocabulary from being home schooled.
