Intimacy

What is the most intimate thing you have said to another person?

Depending on what 'intimacy' means to you, it could be something positive, negative, private about yourself, a personal story/event/moment you've shared with another person, etc. Anything.

Post anonymous if you want.

there was a night i refer to as the worst night of my life. the night of my grandmother's funeral, so at the time i was already a wreck. the night just got worse as i drove my intoxicated brothers home, i had an emotional breakdown on the side of a dark highway, and things just escalated to my brothers beating each other up, threatening death, and some other stuff. just a terrrible night i try not to think about.

i've only talked about this night with two people. one of them being my best friend. i told her the night after it happened, she was completely understanding and such.

the other being this guy i was kinda seeing this summer (i don't even know, that's not even how to describe what we were). i opened up to him about it and he kinda just shrugged and called me a debbie downer for bringing it up. definitely not what i thought i'd get as a response. needless to say, i'm sure that story won't come up with anyone again anytime soon.

Your grandmother had just died, how is that a 'Debbie downer' story? That guy's just an asshole.

When I told my ex about my struggles with disordered eating. He's the only person I've ever told. He was really great about it and even after we had a semi-nasty breakup, he hasn't let anyone else know (to my knowledge - and believe me, this town talks so I'd find out).

i hope you're doing well with everything. my eating came out to everyone after a suicide attempt and things went up and downhill from there. i know how you feel.

I guess I should have specified that the eating problems were in the past. I'm doing really well now. As odd as it sounds, vegetarianism really helped me find some solid ground. It let me start over and gain control over my diet without hurting myself. I don't know if I'll ever be able to go without fleeting thoughts of restricting, but I think I'm a lot better. I hope that you're doing well and finding your own way of getting better.

when I told my ex about all my insecurities, worries, my parent's problems, my grandpa getting cancer and pretty much everything I have never told anyone else. It felt good to let it all out and he also did the same with his problems. I think he is the only person who knows me a little bit better than anyone else, including my current boyfriend.

I told my best guy friend about how I feel like a cheater, like all the achievements I've had so far in life were pure, dumb luck. I told him I never feel smart enough to be in the social setting that I am, and that I'm pretty sure one day someone is going to call me out on it.

It sounds dumb, but it's a thought that nags at me every day.

When I told my boyfriend that I'm exactly who I've always wanted to be when I'm with him.

It came as a surprise even to me when I said it because I always thought I was the kind of person who was themselves 100% of the time but I realized that even around my best friends that I've know 10+ years that I hold a lot of things back and still put up kind of a front.

I love that I can tell him anything and know that he won't judge me.
