CB Confessions
So here is a thread to post confessions (under an alias or not) about things that you wouldn't want people to associate you with. At least, that's how I think of it. And please, for the sake of privacy, unless someone specifically gives you permission, please do not attempt to guess anyone. I only have one for now-
In my first few months on the CB, I said I was a few months older than I actually was.
Wow, I've been feeling guilty about that for a while. It feels nice to get that out.
Anyways, even if nobody posts on this thread, I'm still glad I could get that out, if anonymously. Maybe someday I'll be brave enough to post this with my name.

I feel like I don't know anyone. There were CBers who I used to admire, and then they all left it became less active, and now I feel like I don't know anyone. I never made any close friends on the CB, and I doubt I ever will. Whenever I go on compliment threads, I have no idea what to say or who to compliment and so I just... leave.
I used to feel really stressed about the CB. I would commit to things and then not actually participate. And I would feel like I needed to be a part of everything. Now I've made a resolution to NOT commit to anything, and while it means I'm less stressed, it also means that I have no opportunities to connect with anyone.
Wow. That's a lot less of a confession and more of a me-feeling-sorry-for-myself. So... sorry? But it felt good anyway, so I'll still post it.

That's pretty much exactly me.

I know exactly what you mean. Don't apologize for sharing your feelings! As I said in my own post, writing helps.

I have had several aliases in the past, because I felt like I didn't fit with any of them. I believe about four. I am able to name all of them, but I'm not ready to come out with who I am currently, but I am happy about who I finally am.
You know what, I really don't want to live with the guilt anymore, so here they are:
- Random Person
- Secret
- Mirror
- Pi

Oh wait, sorry if that was confusing to the current Secret. I was a different Secret.

Jaguar - haha dw, I think most all of us have had virtual crushes at some point. But don't feel like you don't have any friends on the CB, I've always considered you one!
& - No offense, but a resolution to not commit to anything seems like a bad idea, on the CB or irl. If there's anything specific you like doing here, like RPs, skilodges, SIs, etc. then maybe join an existing one or start one yourself if you have the time, and don't worry too much about the other parts of the site or feel pressured to commit to anything you're not super interested in.

Aww, thanks!
Also, @everybuggy, I would forgive all of you for anything. Please don't worry about my reaction, and I think I speak for most of the CB when I say that nothing you guys confess would make me hate you and probably nothing would even lessen my opinion of you guys, because I would be proud of you for admitting it.

I have avoided topping several threads because I wanted them to be ignored.
(@%: I suspected something along those lines.)

Okay, here we go with a long list of things past me have done. Almost all of these are linked to wanting attention, and I feel really bad about that. I always wanted to be in the spotlight, to be the best, as everyone does, and I went to extreme measures to do so. and the worst part is, I'm still tempted to do things like this, so I left the CB to stop teting myself. I didn't make an announcement or anything, just disappeared one day. I want to apologize for all of the horrible things I've done; please forgive me.
1. I impersonated Cho chang. For attention. I don't know how I thought I was going to get attention if no one knew who i was, or because it was a horrible thing, and even if they found out, they would hate me.
2. I impersonated myself, then proceeded to post saying it wasnt me. And it worked. People trusted me, and believed me. And I felt so powerful, knowing that all of these people love me and would protect me. And at the same time I felt so gosh darn guilty.And
THeres more, but I've chickened out, cuz you will probably know who I am and hate me.

I really am a jerk. I'm way unwelcoming to new CBers and too restrictive with my RPs. Also, I think I made DiamondBright leave and I will never forgive myself for that.
(August 19, 2018 - 1:46 pm)
There is NO WAY you are a jerk. When I think of jerky people on the CB... well, I kind of can't think of anyone, but you are so far from consideration. I've always thought of you as just nice and cool and chill. And I don't really remember what happened with DiamondBright (oh, wait... something about crushes?), but I'm pretty sure it wasn't your fault.
(August 22, 2018 - 8:36 am)
DiamondBright? She changed her name to BabyRabbit didn’t she? She commented somewhere fairly recently, but I haven’t really seen her around.
(August 23, 2018 - 7:39 pm)
@Applejaguar: Thank you for your kind words. They are well recieved with much thanks.
@Jwyn: I didn't know that. Guess I didn't make her leave. That actually makes me feel a little better.
Kilp says main. So that's neat I guess?
Nevermind, apparently he said ffwr.

I, honestly, feel like I don't know anyone very well on the CB. With the exception of the few CBers who are on the ywp NaNoWriMo site, of course. We have a few pleasant conversations here and there, but I've never actually talked to someone for long enough to feel like I actually consider them a... friend.
(August 19, 2018 - 3:27 pm)
We've all done something bad at one point, but you guys here on the Chatterbox are still some of the most wonderful, welcoming, and understanding people I know.
