Again, why do people care if some are fake? The more disgusting and sadistic ones are clearly fake. I've always said that or rather most this thread has said so. We still don 't know what confessions are fake. But, if it turns out all the crazy ones are fake shouldn't we be happier? Shit, I'd sleep easier knowing some of the crazier disturbing ones were fake.
Seems kinda disappointing to quit because, "allegedly" some confessions are fake. Why now are people believing these are fake? We didn't when that one anon claimed to have wrote Racist Teacher. This thread helped me feel better when I submitted my confession. To see the praise and encouragement from fellow gaffers for overcoming my life problems. Besides you guys believed Cumfessor was real despite obviously being someones erotic short story.
Killing this thread due to a few jackasses is way counter productive. If you guys are willing to believe at least a portion of these are real, so am I.
This guy gets it.

Because for some truthful confessions, they actually wanted legit advice and whatnot about their anonymous confessions. People sending in fake ones discredits those true confessions. Now it's, "I know what GAF likes to hear now. Let's arrange a confession to their liking. They can choose to believe it or not. Not my problem."
The majority of us knows that most or some are fake already. There was no need to confirm it to us that they were fake. It is up to us to believe whether they were fake or nah. Now that we have confirmation from posters that some were indeed fake to generate hits or to flex your creative muscles, it's not fun anymore.
Now it's just who can send in the most fake confessions and see who can talk about it the most. Mind as well make this thread the Fake Creative Anonymous Confessions 2016.

We care because some extremely sensitive and personal confessions were sent in. And those genuine, serious, personal confessions were made a mockery of by idiots trying to be funny.

..I'm pretty disappointed in all these fake confessors.
I came back to see if mine ever got posted, but I'm having trouble.. I might just post it here at this point, especially with all the people coming out to admit sending fakes..

Why should I? NTGYK poured his heart into this thread. I don't want to see it go down in flames. I'm so goddamned tired of seeing trolls ruin everything. You guys realize they wanted a reaction and are getting this shit? I choose to believe a majority of these confessions are real. So should everyone else.
Some fuckers felt the need to lie. So what? That's on'em, bro. Sets an awfully bad precedent to decide whats genuine and whats not. Besides how do we know he's being genuine about posting fake confessions?
It's fairly obvious what confessions are genuine. Are we ignoring that whens all said and done a good deal of many people were honest? Why should trolls get their way? Wasn't it clear from the onset that trolls would make shit up?

The problem isn't if fake confessions are sent in, because a certain number will always be fake. Admitting in places on this forum that you've sent in numerous fakes devalues everyone's confessions and makes it so that NO ONE GENUINE will want to confess. What's the point of running this thread if all the people with real stories and real problems and real things to talk about don't wanna do it because certain people preen about their fake stories?
If I'm someone struggling with suicide, why on earth would I wanna post my story in a place where everyone is assuming every story is fake and just a cry for attention?
I know that Impregnator is fake, and I know that Soulfucker is weird, and I know some of these stories are sensationalist, I keep posting them because sometimes this thread needs a bit of levity or strangeness because it can often get quite dark with stories of abuse and trauma. But you have to pretend every story is real because many are real. There are genuine people who struggle with their problems and they need a place to let it out, and people like you devalue this whole exercise by saying that you posted fake stuff.
Everyone knows that there's fake stuff and there's true stuff, and that's why you pretend everything is true. Congratulations, you can use a fake anonymous email and you can send in lies, that's great. But by admitting that's what you're doing (and multiple people have said so now) the real people will not want to post their stories.

YOU ARE ONE OF THE TROLLS. You admitted to sending in a few fake confessions? You are part of the problem and are talking like its no big deal to reveal you sent in fake ones or the fact you took the time to right fake ones. Your rationale is part of the reason trolls ruin things.
It is obvious that some responses wouldn't be real, we didn't need people to flood the thread with fake stories and we didn't need these attention whores to come in at the end and reveal the great lengths they went to make fake stories.
It was a cool idea running for several years to have an outlet to share real stories that one may not feel comfortable sharing without that anonymous submission.
You can pat yourself on the back for being part of the reason so many people are showing their discontent here.
EDIT:
Instead of this thread ending on a high note based on the confessions, the spirit of the thread has been ruined by you and others like you with your fake shit.

I see what you're saying but, personally for me I don't care. Even if no fake ones were posted people would still believe they were fake or outlandish. I'm pissed I liked this thread, I wanted to post again next year about my progress I've made in my life. I don't want the trolls to win.
I didn't send any fake ones in this year or last. I just took credit for the magazine one despite the fact I never actually sent it. Why? I figured nobody would believe me anyways. I sent 1 fake confession during Ronitos first term that never got posted. Yes, egg on my face but, I have sent in numerous ( well 2 or 3) genuine confessions.

Let people believe if some of them are fake or not. No one controls what you choose to believe. Admitting that you're screwing with the process is another story entirely.
I have a lot of better things that I can be doing with my time. Do you think I actually enjoy reading a lot of these stories? I only do it because some people actually need help or an outlet or something. I don't actually like doing this stuff.
And it's great that you don't care, but guess what, the other people that admitted to faking shit, they've now stained the process because whereas before you can just make a guess whether you believe something is fake or not, now most people will assume that everything is fake, and people with genuine problems won't want to post because they don't want to be dismissed as fake.

Whew. There you guys go. This is real and this came from my heart. This is one reason why I am depressed and have social anxiety. This is one reason why I drink. This is one reason why I have trust issues. I do need help and I am trying me best to get further help. Don't worry GAF, I'm all right. I tried once to take my life. It didn't work because my family stopped me.
And lastly, I don't know if I forgive him and my mom. Should I? Should I forgive my mom, too?

I'll start us off with a public confession. Well more like random rambling
I've been struggling with trying to find out why my dad left us. The farthest I can remember was nothing but decent memories of him but according to my other siblings, he was pretty trash. I've never saw him threatened my mom or any of my other siblings. All I do remember are good-ish memories of him. Taking us fishing, working and providing for us, teaching the boys kung fu, telling me to go and find something for myself.
But according to my siblings he was a manipulative asshole. He would mentally and physically abuse my older siblings and my mom. He would cheat on my mom. He would lie about stuff.
But from my perspective it was all on my mom. I remember one night that she grabbed him by the collar of his shirt and she held him up with a kitchen knife and yelled to us:
You all had better come downstairs right now or I will kill this man!!
I can easily tell you all why she did it. She is a drug addict. She would smoke opium with my older brothers, her mom, her dad, and her sister all the time. She would always be high and paranoid out of her damn mind everytime my dad came home. Accusing him of cheating on him. He would keep telling her, "stop! Just stop. I can tell you are sooooo high. You are not in the right mind to be doing anything."
There are some instances where he was a douchebag. One instance I remember was when we were at our relative's house for a gathering. I, being a dumb kid, felt left out and rode one of my relative's trolley around the block and I disappeared for quite a while. They freaked out and was going everywhere to find me. Nobody found me but a random person in the neighborhood. But this was on all three of us. My parents being drunken idiots and not paying attention to me and me being an idiotic kid wondering off.
Another would be when I was a nearing my teen years. I think it was at this point that my dad just said fuck it. He went and found another lover. And let me tell you..... He fucked up. He went for a damn teenager. A 15-16 year old hmong girl. It was then at that point that I thought to myself:
Was I wrong about him all this time? Was he always this manipulative asshole?
Then I came to realize:
No. It was us. We all aligned ourselves with our mom. My two older brother's dropped out of high school, started doing opium with their relatives, started smoking, and started getting into trouble. My older sister's were, like a stereotype, going to school and working their asses off to get somewhere in life. My oldest brother finished high school and went onto college and dropped out because he couldn't afford it.
It was then that I realized that we, the whole family, and especially the boys, has disappointed him. All his boy's amounted to nothing. All his daughter's took over the boy's roles as the ones providing for the family.
He left about 10 or so years ago and has never shown himself. He only did once and guess what my family did? THEY ALL WELCOMED HIM WITH OPEN ARMS. Especially my mom. My god. She just could not get enough of him. All that shit she talked about, all that "abuse" she endured. She welcomed him back with open arms. He stayed with us for a week and she slept with him all week. She loved him like I've never seen before. I seriously do not know why they all of a sudden loved him when he came back @_@
Whew. There you guys go. This is real and this came from my heart. This is one reason why I am depressed and have social anxiety. This is one reason why I drink. This is one reason why I have trust issues. I do need help and I am trying me best to get further help. Don't worry GAF, I'm all right. I tried once to take my life. It didn't work because my family stopped me.
And lastly, I don't know if I forgive him and my mom. Should I? Should I forgive my mom, too?

I've been lurking this thread, and I have to say, this fakery crap and gloating about it makes me angry and sad. I sent in five or so confessions between last year (before joining) and this one, and I swear they were all true. They all got posted, by the way. Some people are just no fun. Why ruin this?
Rest
All these years later I still chuckle at what a fucking moron that guy is.
It's easy to blame someone who's not there for anything and everything. My mom tried to turn us against our dad. When I was little I believed her, but as I got older I saw that he did have issues, he did do things wrong, but they were almost never the things my mom was angry about and harped on.

Well, let's start with the obvious: Your folks are absolute nutter awful people.
Your mom was a psychotic drug addict paranoid fuck. Don't really need to go into much more detail than that.
Your dad, though? Even discounting the shit your siblings spewed about him, it takes a true asshole to not even fight for your kids to get them away from such a clearly poisonous mother, and instead just walk right off to get some teenager pussy. He really doesn't deserve to get a pass for that shit because you "disappointed" him.
As for whether you should forgive them? Ultimately that's all up to you. You'll need to decide if you can look past all the shit they've done and accept them for who they are. I don't think anyone would blame you if you just decided to walk away from them, though. You'd be more justified doing that than your dad was.

Yup. In the end, you were still his kids, he brought you into this world, and as an adult, it was HIS job to help you.
Forgive your parents, confessor, but do it for yourself so you can move on. You don't need that in your life.

What a dumpster fire. For what it's worth, I've never sent in a fake confession. I'm sorry it had to close like this (kind of ironic, really, given the year). I'm sorry, NTGYK; you did great.
I'm in no way qualified to have an opinion on this, but the gist of it sounds like it was a bad place all around.
Your mom made horrible decisions. Your dad made horrible decisions. People aren't perfect, but it seems like nobody tried stepping back, assessing the poor situation, and trying to change. Not a lot of effort put forth. Admittedly, based on your account, it comes across that your dad wasn't the main problem, hence they welcomed him back. Obviously going after a teenager is ridiculous, but was it a happier place for him than the life he had?
Again, I don't know. It's up to you whether to forgive them, and if it'll mean you can move on. I'm sorry it affected you like that, and like I've said a few times in this thread...
See a professional if it'll help.

Thanks for your service, NTGYK. You've been great for doing this and I appreciate the good your work seems to have brought. Sorry it had to end like this, for what it's worth all my confessions were unadulterated truth. Probably why they weren't really that juicy.
BLOODED_hands

Yeah. Obviously if things were bad for my older siblings, they don't want to retell it and relive it and I completely understand. It's really a damned if I do and damned if I don't situation. If I tell my older siblings that when he was here when I was growing up, that he rarely did anything bad from his side until that event they would tell me how stupid I am. If I side with my siblings, they will just go on and say that mom was a drug addicted person and I shouldn't be on her side. It sucks and I wish that I can go back and see what he did just so I can see how eveything played out. I hate choosing sides. I just want some clarity.
This is truthful. He was and is still my biological dad. It is entirely on him for not raising us "right" by his terms. It all really boiled down to us, the siblings, relying on each other. We all helped each other with homework and we all had each other's back even if my two older brother's were doing opium.
But he doesn't get a pass at all for cheating on my mom with teenage pussy. That stuck out to me and I really, really hate cheaters (with myself being cheated on before). I have no sympathy for cheaters.
I think..... in the end, I need to find a road that I am happy with before I can figure out how to forgive them both. My mom being an addict really lead me into being such an alcoholic and my dad just being an all around fuck lead me into having trust issues. It won't be soon and it won't be in the far future but I will see a way to forgive them someday.

As much as my older sister's all did, they never really got a chance to solve the issues. The oldest one went and got married and the oldest youngest sister did too. They really just said fuck it, like my dad, and went their separate ways. But they cannot abandon their mother. As much shit as they talk about her, they cannot but be helpful human beings and help my mom whenever they are around. The middle oldest sister is the only one who has stuck around and they had a huge argument because:
Our mom loves, just loves to go around and gossip with her friends just how lovely their kids are and how successful they all are. My sister and mom argued back and forth about why she keeps doing it and she just can't give a concrete answer. She has never said anything positive about us to her friends. Not once did she tell all her friends how happy she was when I got done with college. She also never did the same when my oldest/youngest sister, middle, and older sister all got done with college.
Now the middle one just wants to get away and live with herself. We can all just leave her alone but we cannot allow such an unstable person to be by herself. We are all way too helpful and have and will always help her out as much as we can. We cannot allow her to die alone because that's such a heavy burden to carry and to know that we all left her and now that she has no help, she died by her own means. I know for a fact that I can't have that on my consciousness.
It really was a bad environment though. Even now, we are all still awkward with each other and we don't really talk like normal beings. But yes, the last I heard about my dad, he has a grand and happy life now. That's good for him, I guess.
*hugs to BLOODED_hands* My parents were alcohols when I was young (never were abusive though), and drug addiction runs in large parts of my family. It's difficult. But a lot of them have overcome their addictions, too. There's always hope.
And aww man, I just realized that Krystal one is probably fake =(

The nerve of people to send in fake confessions. I finally submitted two this year that I'm fairly certain only NTGYK knows are connected, and both were true. Thanks to this thread, I actually started to attend Therapy to try and help get my negative feelings under control.

Well the thread started bad with the racist teacher is fake confession so it's kinda fitting that this is how the month ends.
I would never agree to do this so I'm not surprised at all that NTGYK is bowing out. I'm sure someone will step up next year though, if just for the hopes of cumfessor "proofs"

Big thanks to NTGYK for doing this. I'm sorry that your time over this thread is ending like this. For what it's worth you haven't wasted your time. While I may not have submitted a confession, all those who did so in good faith have benefited from your efforts.
To all the people gloating or joking about sending in fake confessions I will just say this. Fuck all of you, you are disgusting and trying to make a joke out of people actually making true confessions looking for help or just needing to get something off their chest. I hope you all get banned.

Both of the ones I sent were real, and they weren't that bad, tbh more quirky. I didn't think they would get that many responses, but it was still sorta cool to see them get some.
Neither were some sort of amazing confession, but being able to recognize one as your own felt funny in a good way.

Was considering revealing them, but honestly, I don't want this to be a moment that continues to spiral and ruin the thread. Publicly admitting which ones I sent would just propagate what's going on
As for the people who are arguing against NTGYK or admitting to sending fakes:
OP made his point clear, and he's the one who is actually sorting through all this shit. If he doesn't want this shit, just don't do it.
