Same here! Some guy I worked with randomly started telling me about a guy he murdered. He framed it as self-defense, but I’ve always wondered.

I definitely have. I’m 43 and people have been randomly coming up to me and telling me their deepest, darkest secrets since I was 12 like I’m some kind of walking confessional booth.

Apparently 😂 The key is being a mix of non-judgmental and not caring. The silly stuff some people are worried about though when I’ve literally gotten confessions from multiple murderers always throws me for a loop. Makes me wonder how entities that assist with life reviews during NDEs or after death keep from cracking up. Experience, I suppose.
Also, I never tell on people, and most of the time I forget what they said immediately afterwards because I know they were confessing for their own sake, not mine. I guess that gives me a “safe place” vibe.
