People Share Their Secret Anonymously (episode 10)

it’s crazy how much a stranger can be holding inside and you would have no idea

[@ana.mndc01]

Exactly what I thought

[@iwannadreamforever3823]

sonder n. the realization that each random passerby is living a life as vivid and complex as your own-populated with their own ambitions, friends, routines, worries and inherited craziness-an epic story that continues invisibly around you like an anthill sprawling deep underground, with elaborate passageways to thousands of other lives that you’ll never know existed, in which you might appear only once, as an extra sipping coffee in the background, as a blur of traffic passing on the highway, as a lighted window at dusk.

Hello Thoraya. Would you ever consider doing these videos in a different place? People who live in different areas tend to think differently and have different life experiences. Some suggestions near San Diego: The mexico/america border, Chula Vista, Encinitas, Long Beach, L.A., Tijuana, Ensenada, Mexicali, Yuma.(once travel restrictions lift). Plane and train tickets are cheaper than usual right now, so there's also Las Vegas and the Hoover Dam further out. Everyone upvote this so Thoraya sees, and add suggestions to other places she can go.

[@user-vu9gd8ed1h]

I think this is an amazing idea and have commented this suggestion before.

[@Weird_dude265]

One of the many reasons that most people shouldn't get married.. to any single person or group of people. I'm not against monogamy, but most people aren't ready for a serious monogamous relationship. On the flip side, I think polyamory is just as bad. (a lot of poly people I've met seem flighty, vapid, and selfish, and do it for the wrong reasons.) Not against polyamory either. I just think people should attempt to be the best, most genuine version of themselves.

[@GatorTv]

It’s sad because social media really tries to normalize cheating. It could really be a big influencer. People are just terrible

[@FirstLast-nz9vo]

@@GatorTv but isn’t cheating normal? Pretty sure monogamy is unrealistic

[@Weird_dude265]

@@FirstLast-nz9vo Monogamy is unrealistic... for some people. For others it's extremely natural and completely attainable. I think it's more that most people have no idea what they want in life and do what society says they should do(monogamy), and then there are others that have no idea what they want in life and do the complete opposite of what society says they should do(polyamory) and a lot of people in both parties end up unfulfilled because they aren't doing what THEY want to do, but they can't even get to that point because they don't know themselves enough to KNOW what they want to do. Don't try to push your views on others because I think that's part of the thing that keeps people from knowing themselves.

[@GatorTv]

@@FirstLast-nz9vo oh my 🤦🏽‍♀️you did not just say that… just because you have difficulty committing your self to ONE person doesn’t mean the majority people are like that. Monogamy is not unrealistic. That’s just an excuse for people who do cheat. I hope your mind set isn’t “cheating is normal” because that is truly disgusting. If you do think that way , I hope you dont get yourself in a relationship or marriage. You truly don’t want anyone else when you find the one. Maybe people who can’t stick to one person has a trouble with love. I have no idea, but dont normalize cheating please. That does so much damage

[@susane4078]

To the gal who’s in love with her girlfriend. By pretending you love your boyfriend, you hurt him, your girlfriend and yourself. There is nothing wrong with loving your girlfriend. Your fear of parental or society’s rejection is keeping you from being your AUTHENTIC self. It is ok to be gay. Please do not pretend to be something else. Courage is doing something authentic even while you’re afraid. Be honest and transparent. It will stop a lot of future grief. You can do it! Be courageous.

To the guy with the ring, I hope you’re reading this: Very often I find myself thinking about bad things I did when I was young and immature. I then feel this guilt, regret and also big embarrassment for myself. But honestly I believe it’s a good thing that we self reflect, not only our recent actions but also things we did in the past. It helps us to learn from our mistakes, to avoid future mistakes and to grow into a mature person!

The guy who said that after going through 4 traumatic events he just dealt with one thing at a time and he's now in a good place has made my day and given me hope. Thanks ❤️

[@Jupiter-ng1yi]

The guy who stood out the most to me was the last one. His smile seemed so genuinely happy, and since I've been struggling myself with my weight and the stress of school, it's good to know that maybe someday I will get over it and be truly happy again.

[@mica1k]

it's weird bc this makes me like super aware that the strangers i walk past everyday have a whole story to tell. like it gives me literal chills.

[@sandrascheffer403]

I want to thank you for the fact you show people that everyone in this human life has his own struggles and secrets. You make me - and alot of others - feel more human, despite of the mistakes I made myself in this life. Thank you.

[@xLiviPoox]

These videos really just make me feel close to absolute strangers. It really shows us that people aren’t just people. We have so much more to us.

[@orangesunset9901]

I love the last guy. His secret is somewhat what I’m going through but I believe in myself too and I’m happy to know there’s someone else out that who is motivated and just got broken down by life. It does get better with the right people around and a positive mindset.

[@giselleg.3497]

Thanks so much for these videos Thoraya! I love the fact that it helps people feel like they aren't alone, but also the chance to get these things off their chest.

[@jordanwall7594]

My secret is i hide my depression fear and anxiety by making jokes and dodging questions

[@ece-hr5fg]

i do that too, my friend. it's not that bad of a coping mechanism, all things considered. and it can be a good way of communicating with others who have similar issues since many people have this type of coping mechanism. so don't feel bad about it! :)

[@based7900]

And the worst part is they’re everywhere, many cases of women just like her who get pregnant and lie to the boyfriend/husband pretending that it’s their kid.

[@chickensaladwitmayo]

i truly hope the woman who said she was in love with her best friend got the courage to come out. it was so heart warming how she described how she feels about her girlfriend and i hope they’re really happy together :,)

[@HawaiianForgeStudios]

I hope for the opposite. Nothing like being strung along in a relationship and starting to make plans only to find out not only she cheated but she was never was really into you putting a huge dent into your self confidence and opening up the possibility to be made fun of for having a girl leave you for another girl.

[@chickensaladwitmayo]

@@HawaiianForgeStudios that’s a really good point, but if she stayed with her boyfriend it would be at the expense of her happiness, and her and her boyfriend would be stuck in a lie. If the boyfriend is understanding, hopefully the girl can be with the one she loves and the boyfriend can find someone he loves, y’know? It might sting at first but the girl deserves to be happy too.

[@HawaiianForgeStudios]

@@chickensaladwitmayo Depends on the person. Some people are very cold or vindictive about it, while others can part amicably, but human nature is human nature and im a pessimist so i vote for the worst case scenario.

I think this is the most amount of secret sharers who haven't turned around. Thanks to them all for sharing what they did 💕

[@antoniah5660]

I don’t know why, but the last guy’s story made me cry.. I think I resonate with him in a way and his words really touched my soul. I want to thank him for sharing his story and for being so honest! One thing that he said really stuck with me: “In the future after five years, will you really care about it?” This made me realize that every problem is temporary and even if it affects you, in the end, every struggle will turn into something good and you will be ok! This video was very beautiful! Congratulations!

[@zanroellames8198]

There are tons of people in this world and tons of secrets yet to uncover. Its super crazy to think about how everyone has a deep dark secret that appears threatening or shameful to others or at least to themselves and we don't know. I always believe that i don't my close friends very much and so do i think for other people.The best way to trust someone is by giving them time to open up. We have 2 eyes, it never hurts to take 2 or more looks. We have 2 ears, its not bad to listen twice or more. We have skin, to be able to touch and feel what a person feels. And we have one mouth, one chance to speak up. I learned by this that i shouldn't judge other people first before i know the whole person. Everyone has a story to say, yet it always has an end, it gives way for more.

[@nvm4086]

[@imkindaboredioi]

my secret is that i feel hurt when people don’t trust me enough to tell me stuff like my best friend of 7 years told someone else that she was bi before me and i’ve never shown hate to these kinds of things but um i guess she just didn’t trust me lol

[@kashootmyself4]

you can know someone for years but still not develop that kind of trust. I understand it hurts but atleast she told you eventually, yknow? coming out is hard as fuck even if you know they’ll accept you.

[@kileyslife7541]

I had a best friend of 7 years and when I came out to her she outed me to 6 other people. Coming out is hard, please don't take it personally. Maybe that other person was also bi so she felt more comfortable telling them.

[@tovanille]

Maybe she just really wanted to get it off her chest, don't take it to personal please because she felt comfortable enough to confide in you anyways so why worry about when she did?
