My former best friend just casually mentioned she condones conversion therapy. She has been dipping into weird ideological rabbit holes for some time already and that was the last straw which proved the friendship is slowly but surely going to hell.

It was during a fight. I said, "I wish I died. I wished I never existed."
And that person (who is pretty close to me and is supposed to be a good role model) agreed and said: "Yes, I wished you NEVER WERE BORN."

Now she’s trying to contact me again, I have no idea what to do 🥲 EDIT: Ty for all the support! I can’t really contact the police since I don’t have evidence. I should also mention that I was in 5th grade when this started and it’s been 3 yrs since then, so even if I DID have evidence I doubt they would do anything. The recent text messages she’s sent me haven’t been anything threatening either, so I can’t use those as evidence either.

Confessed to murdering a child in their home country. Many hours spent trying to learn how to report a crime to a 3rd world country's legal system. Not fruitful.

Once my friend's friend's friend came home and saw his little daughter crying. He asked what happened and she said that she was walking in the garden with her rabbit, when the neibourghs dog killed him. The man didn't report anything. He took the spade and killed the dog. Do you think he was an ars, guys?

"I raped an 11-yr-old boy" from a friend's brother. He thought it funny b/c the boy was Iraqi and he himself was a bada$$ US Marine. "Then I pi$$ed on his body in the ditch." He was cold sober. I watched him grow up, he goes to war, that's who came back... Or was hiding inside all along :-(

That needs to be reported. It would take everything in me to remain calm in that moment and not eviscerate that abomination on two legs. I wouldn't care if we were close at all. If the military/police don't do anything.../someone/ must. That man is dead already for what he's done.

My MIL (71 years old) confessed that she sometimes tries to see she’s able to put her toe in her mouth. You know, ‘to check I’m still able to do that’.

My grandma could at 70! She was in the circus, a horse bareback acrobat, but she didn't keep up with it past her early 20s. Much later in life, she was hunchbacked from osteoporosis and suffering with arthritis, but still oddly flexible. She used to sit with her knees pulled up to her chest alot.

His real name, and why he didn't use it...
When I was living aboard in Thailand, my next door neighbor was an older Canadian expat and we were quite friendly. He'd regularly invite me over for tea or a beer. He told me some crazy stories of his travels. He had been living off a substantial pension for decades. When I asked him what his career was that had allowed him to retire so young, he said he had been a train conductor. Didn't think much more of it until one day, at our local bar, someone came in and recognized him, but called his a totally different name. He got kinda pale and made an excuse to go home. When I saw him for coffee the next morning, he confessed that year prior, due to no fault of his own (structural issue), his train had a horrible accident with many fatalities. Canadian government essentially paid him hush money to take the fall for the crash and secretly set him up with a fat pension. He couldn't stay in Canada cause he was blamed for the many deaths and publicly reviled, so he took the money and ran. He'd only been back to Canada once or twice in 30 years when I met him, and they were recent trips. He had to abandon his two kids when he left, and it's taken decades to rebuild any kind of relationship with them, but otherwise he's generally at peace with the whole thing. It would have been very hard to prove his innocence- he said he'd make the same choice again.

The desire for a girl can be really mental for some people. I know a mum saying she looked at her son every day wishing he was a girl. Later she did a late abortion of a healthy baby bc it wasnt a girl. I know other cases as well, I think maternity care needs some kind of theraphy program for gender obsessed mums. This isnt good for anyone involved And in other parts of the world baby girls gets aborted bc a boy is wanted.

My mom, in a context I don't remember, told me that she'd been raped in her past. Considering she was an alcoholic til the day she died, it explained a lot, but I would give anything to un-know this.

My mom has told me (in detail) about how she'd been raped when she was young. She has told me so much stuff I just want to un-know. Including how she cheated on my dad when they were married and how some of her sex toys worked (luckily she didn't show me. Lol. Just told me in way too many details how they worked).

Horrifying? Maybe not, but it really ticked me off. This happened about a year ago. I got a phone call from, Gloria, a female friend that I've known for over 40 years, since we were teenagers. I had an absolutely MASSIVE crush on her back then. She has recently had a series of surgeries and was taking a lot of pain medication. She called and was obviously over-medicated. During the call she began telling me how much in love with me she was back when we were teens, but she never let me know because my older sister THREATENED HER to make her stay away from me. Apparently my sister didn't think she was right for me, and that she would hurt me. After I got off the phone with her, I called my sister and asked her about it. My sister said that she doesn't remember specifically saying anything to Gloria, but it sounds like something she would have done because she thought that Gloria was, to use the term of the time "fast". I couldn't get too mad at my sister because I've been happily married for 30 years, and I have a great family. But, damn, Gloria was FINE!

Yup, I’ve heard many people who accuse their partners of cheating often have cheated themselves and are projecting it onto their partner. Other times they’re just really insecure.

To piggy back on the addiction/ coping with mood altering substances debate earlier... my AA (Alcoholics Anonymous) sponsor (someone to help guide you through AA's program) told me they had sex with animals several times pre-sobriety. That was about it for me. Sick f- yep- I do judge harshly when people RAPE animals, children, disabled, etc. WTF! My point: people are complicated messes. Addiction is a complicated mess. Mental health is a slippery slope. Let's not argue about people's coping methods if they only affect the user. You absolutely can not make someone else change, and I would rather see somebody "relapse" than take their own life.

My friend told me that they were told they drove someone to committing when they were 9. I feel so bad for them-they were in a s****y situation, and it was NOT their fault (the person in mention was 15 and "dating" them) but they still feel terrible years later.

Not actually too bad. Theres probably been worse things I just cant think of, but my Unlce Mark said that he was fine with the Rattlesnake roundup (a festival in texas in which people round up rattlesnakes and torture them to death) Because rattlesnakes dont go to heaven and something about it being up to us to keep them in check (nature had been doing that since the dawn of life itself). He had never actually done this, because he doesn't live in texas and probably still wouldnt be interested, but, it was still pretty bad. I also had a friend confess to killing a ring neck snake when he was young, although he regretted it deeply so I dont think that was too bad

I sat on a couch with a friend watching YouTube on a couch at his apartment. We had been friends your years and I knew he had mental health issues but they never bothered me and I still don't think people should be defined by them. Stone cold sober he all the sudden got really close to me and began to cry. I asked what was up and he said "I want to f**k you but I don't want to ruin our friendship. I know you're in a relationship and wouldn't want to so I'm trying to convince myself not to rape you. "
I cannot even begin to describe the amount of discomfort I had in that moment. I decided to just try to talk him through the options and be like 'do the right thing' meanwhile very much aware that it's like a 50/50 toss up in his head still and he has me pretty much pinned. He ended up not, and apologised over and over. I left and ran like absolute hell to my car and despite it all, after some time, we actually somehow stayed friends (honestly probably only because i took psychology on uni and I had seen many signs that his meds needed to be recalibrated before that point). He never did anything close to that ever again and while I'll never be completely at ease around him after that I know that he knows while he's forgiven it isn't forgotten. He always stays at least 4ft away from me when we're alone so he never makes me feel uncomfortable again.

Sober. A co-worker confessed to me, without actually confessing to me that he went to strip clubs during lunch. He came by my cube to talk to me just after he returned from lunch. He had glitter smeared up the side of his face. He was seriously talking to me about a work issue.....with glitter plastered up the side of his cheek.
I said, "Dude, you just cant come to talk about a real problem with glitter up the side of your face."
A pregnant moment of silence, then *shocked, surprised*, he said, "OMG I found a bunch of glitter in one of my desk drawers."
Me: "Yeah, ok. No problem. Just maybe make sure to wash it off. Orrrrrrr.....don't get the stripper with glitter while you're at lunch. "

This all happened on Friday...
There's This girl in my class called K (obviously not real name) and she's the our years brat. Everyone I MEAN Everyone hates her. She's been like this since we were 8ish. This year I decided to put her in her place.
Her and freinds were messing around on this bench...she got pushed off..then jumps back on and starts playing again. Then 10mins later she's SCREAMING her head off at her freinds (freinds don't like her) about how she asked them to stop and they kept 'hurting' her. I overheard this and began to laugh.
K: oh U THINKS THIS IS FUNNY?!?!
Me: K, it's actually HILARIOUS
K: looks pissed off
Later on her 'freind' *ACIDENTLY* (spelling soz) scratches her (hardly) and she bursts into tears. As if the world ended. Goes and puts a wet paper towel on it (coz they fix everything lol) and shows everyone her battle scars (lol) . As we go inside she ransaxks her bag and pulls out A BANDAGE (BANDAID 🇺🇸) and puts her arm in a SLING, for a scratch. When me and her were alone we had this exchange:
K: Oh (my name) look at my horrible scratch, I think I'll need to go to HOSPITAL! (Her face 😥😭)
Me: K your being really pathetic.
K: WELL IT ACTCHULLY HURTS!!! 😭😭
Me (snapping): WELL YOU KNOW WHAT HURTS?!? (Tells her WVERYTHING that hurts when I was in hospital w cancer) THAT HURTS!
I stomped away then.
She then (during PE) was YELLING at a girl who WAS AUTISTIC (her autism dosn5 like noise)
I stormed over to her and snapped:
Stop YELLING!!!
She then burst into tears. BUT this week she's been SUPER NICE (weird) but Idc tbh. Then my freinds told me something HORRIBLE. After I told her she was pathetic. She went up to my bestie (??? Why???) And said I was using my cancer to be rude to everyone. WTH?!? I haven't argued w anyone but her lol.
TDLR:
A bratty girl who I tried to put in her place said I was using my cancer as an excuse to be mean.

This happened years ago, when I was maybe 20-something (I’m now 35), but; I once stayed at my sister’s place & sat up late with my sister’s partner, after they’d been drinking. I wasn’t drinking, but I’m a night-owl, so I was okay sitting up & chatting with my BIL, whilst my sister had already gone to bed. Well, he’d had quite a lot to drink & then out of the blue, he pointed at a mounted samurai sword (like the one from the “Kill Bill” movies) & he said “See that samurai sword right there? I’d just love an excuse to use it one day.” Honest to god, it immediately chilled my blood. But, as I always try to think rationally, I decided it was just stupid drunk talk & hastily changed the subject. My BIL hasn’t brought it up since & he still has the samurai sword. Although he still drinks a lot, he’s not abusive or violent in any way & he’s a great dad to my little niece & older niece/nephew, regardless of his drinking habit. So, I have to conclude that it was just the booze talking. NGL, it did unnerve me at the time, though… 😨

Was it just the way he said it? Cuz idk but I think swinging around a samurai sword would look pretty cool. Although you did say you got chills and it’s usually good to trust your instincts

My ex confessed to me that he ended up killing a thug back when he was a teen and in a gang. From what he told me it was self defense and the gun was held in the thugs hand the whole time. My ex bent his hand back towards the thug just as he pulled the trigger, making the thug shoot himself.
Sounds far-fetched but my ex really does have quick reflexes. He was never charged with anything. Apparently no one else knew, not even his parents nor his best friend. Not sure why he told me and I'm not sure how much truth is his in story. He could've also just been trying to come across more badass than he necessarily needed to.

Not horrifying but here it is. A former friend and his friend bought two NFL game tickets. Discovered they were for wheelchair use only. ( one support person and the person in a wheelchair ) Tried to return the tickets and was not allowed a refund.
They decided to borrow a wheelchair and attend the game anyway. Personally I decided to back away from the friendship.

If I had spent the money - then realized the mistake and tried to do the right thing only to be refused - I'd probably do the same thing. Decent NFL tickets start at around $350. Let the down votes begin :(

I was making conversation with a much older man on the bus, it started when the bus had slammed its breaks to avoid hitting something that was in the road. He casually mentioned he had just gotten out of prison a few days earlier and some dumbo next to us asked what he was in for. "Murder." Everyone that heard him ended up scooting away and leaving a 10 foot radius around him and I. Put me in an awkward situation. I was 19. I just kinda kept talking, ignoring the fact that I was talking to a recently released murderer.

Eh statistics say if you've met 100 people you've met someone responsible for taking another human life. I suspect anyone who is so blatant about it is being confrontational to face the shame/public scorn and maybe there's more to the story. People who maliciously hurt others hide it. Usually.
