I can't wait for my addiction to kill me / because my family and friends have been suffering for 6 years from all the lying and stealing I do to stay high and I don't want to get sober and have to face reality.
A Confession Bear post.
Your partner thinks you love her lasagne. You've eaten it on every birthday for eight years. You don't. It's far too late to say. You'll be eating it at your golden wedding. You have never seen Star Wars. You've nodded along to every reference since school. Admitting it now would be like admitting you can't read. In the lift at work you pretend to type a message so you don't have to talk to the man from accounts. He's doing the same. You've been typing nothing at each other for three years. The plant your flatmate asked you to water died in the first week. You bought an identical one from the garden centre for £7.99. She's been talking to it lovingly for months. **Why it caught on:** a Getty Images photo of a Malayan sun bear from 2007, posted to r/AdviceAnimals as Confession Bear in the summer of 2012. It looked guilty enough to carry anyone's secret, and nobody had to sign their name.
