For example, I love to sing. However, only one other person in my life has ever heard me sing and I haven’t seen that person in years. I’m not sure I’m good at singing but I think I can hit the notes well enough.

    I haven’t told anyone that my Mum died last weekend, because it’s not a big deal to me.

    I don’t want to put up with people not understanding and being weird about it.

    Very few people irl know my actual political beliefs because I water them down constantly in order to make them sound more socially acceptable

    I have a wicked sense of humor and a penchant for puns and word play. I also have a very large vocabulary from being a voracious reader from an early age which feeds my puns.

    I can trace the point in time when my wife and I fell in love with each other was when we spent an entire car trip doing puns and word play. Not just any puns but as the trip went on they got more and more esoteric. We discovered that we could keep up with each other and we’ve been together ever since.

    Probably more like a super well-guarded secret than just an aspect at this point. There was one anime series that was both my favorite and quite foundational to my personality for a long time. I legitimately have never told anyone about it; not even my parents

    And no I have no intention on disclosing it here. Probably not too hard to infer for hardcore anime fans who would know me in person, but still

    I flirted with the manosphere for a while. I don’t regret it, but I’m aware enough of the public perception that I don’t mention it to most people today. Yes, I’m aware of the irony of announcing it here. I would simply say that it suffers from the over-simplification of groups and ideas that affect all groups today, including feminism. Are there bad elements to it? Absolutely, but even feminists admit it has good points and members. People just tend to submit to basic views of things in general.

    My dad has a cancer that has no cure. He will eventually die because it, but the medication has given he a few good years so far and hopefully he has few more in him.

    I drive a truck for work, and I’m a major gearhead.

    Nobody who knows me in-person knows that I’ve written erotica for money. Hardly anyone knows I like to write, like, period.

    I am frequently composing or listening to music in my head. It’s like a radio I can turn on and off, change stations, etc.

    I don’t even really play any instruments with any regularity or write the music down, I just kind of entertain myself with it when I can’t actually listen to anything.

    I’m a weirdo boot fetishist. I love riding boots and leather pants, gloves. I obsess of them endlessly. Sex in boots is beyond anything else. The filthier the better. Booty lickin, pee drinking, all the butt stuff, all the filth. I work a successful corporate job in exec leadership. I’m reasonably well respected in my field. Work and filth never cross over. Nobody knows, I don’t mix business with leather.
