confession: I'm beginning to wonder if allowing anonymous confessions is such a good idea.
Why?
Because someone took the opportunity to say something unpleasant. And it doesn't sit well with me.
I'm especially pissed off and conflicted about this now as well, because this is a great thread and a tool which has obviously helped a lot of people get stuff off their chest or find support with their problems.
And now someone's gone and spoiled it by anonymously insulting someone (hell, two people) for no fucking good reason.
Gatsby, I understand where you're coming from, and it's wonderful to have such a positive outlook, but you have to be realistic here. We already had a thread exclusively for compliments and appreciation, this was anonymous confessions.

Perhaps I'm too cynical
And I know a few people have been helped from bad situations here
But I get the feeling a lot of those pitiful confessions were made for the same reason the talking shit confessions were made

I know, I just hate starting the day angry and goddamn does something like this annoy the fuck out of me.
I wish we could all get along like we used to in page 1. I wish I could bake a cake filled with rainbows and smiles and everyone would eat and be happy.
This thread is a big group hug. "Naw man, you aren't a whiny fucking baby, PEOPLE LOVE YOU!"

From what little I can glean from all this, I can only offer this mostly tangential piece of....something:
It's not surprising that a trans woman would hop on the cause of social justice. Upon coming out, you move yourself from a fairly privileged class of person (male) to what might be the least privileged (trans female). It's really hard to deal with that sudden influx of prejudice and discrimination without a lifetime of training that almost everyone else gets.
Here's a confession: I feel like I haven't "paid my dues" yet. A lot of my friends have been outright denied things, things that shouldn't even be denied, like financial aid advice for college, just for being trans. A lesbian friend of mine related a story about how she was in the air force and married a gay guy so they'd both have a cover story and to relieve some suspicion to avoid being thrown in prison. I haven't seen any of this, yet. I don't want to be beaten up, or denied life saving healthcare, or whatever you can possibly think of, because sometimes people will just go out of their way to make life miserable for people who are different. The worst that's happened to me so far is that someone called me a "dyke" while I was in mcdonalds, and frankly that just made me smile a little. I feel like I'm out of touch with the community and the only way to really understand what its like is to let bad stuff happen to me.

yeah I feel like that a lot too, Metalbourne, and I'm not even trying to transition. I'm just a queer dude who mostly presents as straight-cis, so I always feel a little insincere talking and sympathizing about this stuff.
ah shit I got home from work finally and was like "oh man, adventure time! a new episode will pick me right up!" and then it was a rerun and I was double sad

Just found out that my best friend's girl has been cheating on him. I had this moment of completely blinding, murderous rage and wanted to fuckin throttle her, and I haven't had that kind of anger in a long, long time. I used to be that angry like, every day all day until I went to sleep, and I don't want to be that guy any more, angry and violent and too sad to see that he's destroying himself with hatred. It's so hard to maintain my love and compassion in the face of such cruelty and callow disregard for another person's feelings. This world confuses me, guys

if you want to pursue Buddhism you have to stop caring
sometimes i think about sitting under a tree until i obtain enlightment. but then i remember i got a short attention span and would probably be bored within the minute.

Dang Dino, just "obtain enlightenment" the way most american Buddhists these days do.
Confession: I have an overwhelming suspicion that Totino's is a corporation devoted to killing off all unhealthy eaters. I just saw a bag of pizza rolls that encouraged you to dip them in ranch dressing. It even had a peel-off coupon for $1 off a bottle of dressing.
