    "I feel like I can justify the worst things I've done." "My initial connection to the majority of my partners is based on superficial sexism." "I once bumped someone's phone when it was charging and it fell off a table and cracked and I just walked away." The experience of reading anonymous confessions is both intimate and detached. Being confronted with people's real-life emotional baggage reveals quiet but deeply human moments, yet divorced from the person who said them, there's no human to project the resulting empathy on.
