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 don’t actually know what I’m doing. I just keep getting away with it, and I know that one day I’ll be found out.
Am I even good enough to have imposter syndrome?
you have to have achieved something to have 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
Just between me and you, what are your beliefs?
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.
My mother died when I was 19. I’d been estranged from her for over a decade at the point. I wasn’t really upset, but I definitely played it up so I could take a week off of work.
Ooh, good point - I can get a couple of compassionate leave days when the family gets together for a BBQ (probably in August), instead of using PTO :-)
There is a silent war inside my brain between autism and ADHD
i have a phd in philosophy.
i can’t ever talk about it because people never respond positively. they almost always attack me for it because it is scary or something.
if i say it’s english they are are a lot less hostile, so that’s what I do if it comes up.
Well I think it’s a cool PhD. Fuck those haters.
i live in the USA. people here don’t admire/respect nyone with a PhD unless they are an MD or a scientist, and even then…
Pfft. People are idiots. Philosophy is literally the OG PhD.
Found Chidi.
No one knows the cute little lady at work listens to extreme metal on her headphones lol. I pause my black metal and say the sweetest things to my patients.
I also know a lot of anime. Not the new stuff, but the tried and true stuff. I don’t watch it anymore, but yeah. No one would know because I don’t talk about it.
Oh and I know old school UFC too, because I’ve got Fight Pass and have been watching it (and Pride) chronologically lol.
My ethnicity mix also seems to trip people up. I get some interesting guesses!
You sound like someone who wants a good beer and tickets to Whitechapel. 🤘
Most people don’t know that I left the Marine Corps an expert rifleman and sharpshooter with a pistol. I really miss hitting the range. It’s kind of therapeutic for me.
Check out the JaredAF channel on YouTube, he’s an American bullseye competitor who makes really good content, it isn’t the usual “guntube” shite.
I do Olympic 25m pistol and really enjoy it even though I’m rubbish, lol (I average maybe 80/100 over all) … love playing with different guns, too.
Shakira is in my playlists
Why hide that? She’s got an amazing voice and great rhythms.
You know the world
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.
I too have been trying to make people laugh with damn near a dozen word jokes, but no pun in ten did.
I think I found Canopyflyer’s wife
Get out.
No one knows that I support lottocracy
Democratic-lottocracy where the canditades are drawn from the elligble population, but where people vote who they want to represent them in senate would be fire.
Bonus points if the terms end at different times. Like if there would be 200 seats and 4 years terms, there would be elections for 50 seat every year.
That would be roughly 1 election per week which feels very very draining. If you combine multiple election in a single day it would be too much for people to carefully consider every option
Maybe the solution could be that some of them are chosen elected like you said, while other seats are given randomly
Im thinking more like 200 seats divided by province or state or what ever is applicable and voting only representatives from your own area so it would be pretty close to parlamentic elections we have here now.
What about:
- citizens are chosen randomly to get regional seats
- elections are held regionally so that x of these citizens get national-wide seats
I mean it does have legitimate narrow use cases imo ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Everywhere? Nawww not rlly
Ik ik but it’s a fantasy I like to think about
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 wish I have talent. And a talent that pays.
I could tell you but then I’d have to kill you.
I do love a challange
None, I’m an open book.
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
