TW: Suicide/Self-Harm
Title: I don't wear seatbelt because I hope every day I'll get in a car wreck, and this will increase my chance of death
Flair: noregrets
I had decided to kill myself with charcoal grill in car in my old neighbourhood. Was set, had plan, supplies and goodbyes. Realised how badly it will crush my loved ones, and could not go through. (It would destroy them). Each time on the way to work and home, I wish for a car accident. I don't wear my seatbelt because I hope if I do get in an accident, I will die easier. I find myself when I pass accidents wishing that was my car, instead of the person who didn't want to die.
[No Regrets]: If you don't feel bad
OP's confession conforms nicely with our hypothesis of night posts being personal displays of extreme vulnerability. OP opens up in a manner that produces a confession that asks to be witnessed rather than resolved. The OP turns a foiled, yet active, suicide plot into a passive daily dance with death. By relegating this danse macabre to the mundane commute, OP blends suicidal intentions into habitual, banal routines. A surface glance of the lexical choices in this confession would cause one to completely miss the underlying pain the OP is hiding. One does not simply trivialize something as serious as suicide without having first gone through an extreme amount of suffering.

Title: I read my best friends texts. and know I know something that i shouldn't.
Flair: N/A
to start off I know that what I did is so so so wrong. I saw that she got an imessage from my ex. and knew her password. once I started reading I just couldn't stop. I feel so stupid and betrayed. they have been sleeping together. I don't know how long but probably since before we broke up. I thought something was going on between them but they both assured me they were just friends. I am so stupid I cant believe they lied to me. I cant even look at her she is my best friend. I know I should have never read her messages and I wish I hadn't. edit: I guess I should have mentioned that I have no problem with them being friends as she knew him first. Thats how I met him she introduced us. but I'm just so hurt that they lied. Edit: I'm not that upset about them dating, the post is more about I feel really shity for snooping and I feel betrayed that they lied.
The abundance of run on sentences ("Thats how I met him she introduced us"), pervasive usage of amplifier words ("so", "really", "even"), occasional dropping of punctuation in contractions (like "cant" and "thats"), and the lack of proper capitalization all point towards a rushed and even panicked demeanor. Furthermore, the incessant self-reproaching comments, like "I should have known" and "I feel really shitty", drive a feeling of shame throughout. This is all despite the fact that injury at heart was that of a betrayal by two close associates; OP's morals blinds them from the arguably greater pain of betrayal and instead assigns fault to themselves. This post also clearly demonstrates a nighttime confession of a private personal event.
