These 23 People Are Living Shocking Lies

16.

That IT is the right field for me. It isn’t, and I’ve known this for a long time, but I can’t just give up on it now.

17.

That I’m happy. I’m an army veteran and RN in medical sales with a decent paying job, beautiful wife and two girls. I hate my life, and I’m too much of a pussy to break out of the corporate grind. I love my family but I fucking hate people. I left the military to stay with my wife and I miss the military everyday. I want to live out in the middle of nowhere on a farm. I don’t know shit about farming but I love good honest hard work.

18.

I’m gay and I joined a traditional motorcycle club. I put myself back in the closet just so I can have the same sense of brotherhood, belonging, and friendship that I had in the military.

19.

My first week on the job, my boss comes by with Twizzlers and ask if I like them. I say yes. I’m new, I’m in no position to have strong opinions on food yet. So she gives me two. Now, at least once a week, she’ll save me two extra Twizzlers. And it’s so thoughtful and kind but I fucking hate Twizzlers and think they’re nasty as hell. I’m just living this lie and I don’t wanna suddenly say, “Hey I’m more of a Reeses kind of gal, I only said I liked Twizzlers because it was my first week and I was nervous.” So I just keep eating that godawful candy hoping it gives me a food allergy so I can be done with it

20.

That I care about people, I’ve only ever really cared about 3 people outside of my family, and as much as I like my friends, I got so used to losing them and disappointment, that if they did leave, I wouldn’t be phased.
