I know, you're keeping a secret right now. In fact, you can probably count up to a dozen pieces of personal information that you do not want to share with other people.

Maybe you committed a petty crime and got away with it. Maybe you had a regrettable one-night stand. Or maybe it's not that extreme. For example, some people hide their political and religious views, especially when they believe no one else will agree with them. Some do not reveal their finances too, whether they have a lot more or a lot less than others think.

But as the professor of psychology at Georgia Gwinnett College, David Ludden, Ph.D., points out, secrets can be psychologically damaging because the secret-holder has no opportunity to discuss their contents with other people. When we have problems, it helps to share them with someone who can provide us with insight on how to deal with them. But when it comes to secrets that are highly immoral, we feel shame and are reluctant to share them. (Often for good reason, as well.)

To get the burden off their back, many turn to churches and bars, priests and bartenders. But there's another place that might do the trick. A social media project, called Fesshole. With hundreds of thousands of followers, it offers everyone who wants to confess a Google form to keep their anonymity and many, many sets of ears, so they know their confession is heard. It might not bring you salvation, but if there's a chance for peace of mind, why not take it?
