I used to piss the bed until I was around 8-10 years old. Not every night, but it happened often.
My brother and I grew up with a single father who would leave for work early and we'd have to get ourselves ready.
Some days I'd be so embarrassed, I'd go to school without having had a shower beforehand (which I am aware is counter productive) and potentially go to school stinking of piss.
I can't remember a time when anyone ever commented on it, but I bet to some kids I was the smelly kid sometimes.
No idea why I pissed the bed.
No idea why it stopped.

I struggle to tie my laces & I only learnt recently at 29. It still takes me 5-10 minutes so if I’m out and about where my laces get untied then I disappear into the bathroom to do them.
I used to piss the bed for attention. Similar age as you. Growing up in a big family and being the second child the only time I would get attention was if I pissed the bed so I would do it on purpose.
due to a very very bad bladder injury i had when i was young that my parents deemed unimportant to tell me, i would have trouble holding in my piss until i was about 13. like id sneeze and id trickle a little bit or id get that like spine chill when its cold out and trickle a little bit. eventually i learned to just hold it in throughout the entire day so that id master my bladder as if i was on avatar or some shit, and now im fine.
i didnt even attempt to get that diagnosed until last year when i was 18. because i didnt know i had a problem, i just thought i was weird for it and that wasnt exactly something i wanted to go to the doctor about until i was just curious as to why i had it in the first place.
so thats fun…
I’m 44 and still can’t tell what time it is on a 24 hour clock and anything after 15:00 I have to use my fingers to work out the hour it is until it passes midnight and goes back to the lower numbers. That’s the first time I have ever admitted that to anyone
I peed the bed until I was about ten (abusive childhood) so did my brother. To help us stop we used to have to go to bed wearing what looked like a big sanitary pad that you would split at the side then pop in this sensor thing. The sensor had a long wire leading to a little box alarm & that little alarm would be pinned to my pj top. When the sensor got wet it would set the alarm off loud AF, waking you up to stop peeing & get to the loo.
I shit myself on a semi regular basis. Not much because I had a deactivating colostomy but some still manages to get though to my “old” bumhole and it mainly ends up seeming like skids. I wear panty liners all the time for it.

I can’t ride a bike.
I went on holiday to Amsterdam a few years ago with my friends and one day we were walking towards a park and one of my friends asked if we wanted to ride some bikes through the park instead and everyone apart from me was up for it.
When it came to renting the bikes, I stayed away from the rental shop and one of my friends asked “You not getting a bike?” and when I said no another friend laughed and said “Can you not ride a bike!?” and so I lied and said “Yeah, I can ride a bike. I just can’t be arsed right now. I’d rather have a walk through the park”.
So my friends all went off together and I had a solo walk around the park, which was actually not bad as I really did need some time to myself.
When I was around 5, I used to piss down the side of the bed, as I was scared to go to the toilet at night. I stopped when my mum threw away one of my favourite toys, that had fallen down and ended up covered in piss.
Apparently being dry at night is hormonal. Nothing you, your parents or anyone else can do about it.
As others have mentioned it can also be due to emotional stuff going on.
It wasn’t your fault 💚
I can’t ride a bike and learning to drive a car scares the shit out of me. The handful of lessons I’ve had off and on over the past ten years I’ve been petrified
I still slept in my parents’ bed from age 8 until like 11.
(I saw a traumatic event just after going to bed and presumably that caused it but still not something I’m keen on telling people)
I made a poo pie. Me and a friend across the street collected up dog poos (it was the 80s they were EVERYWHERE) and used an old casserole dish to stir up the ‘mixture’.
I’d be really quite concerned if my child started playing with poo but my folks just shrugged it off. I think I was always doing weird stuff. (I no longer play with poo).
I used to be one of those losers who made fake Facebook accounts and would talk to people from my school to ask what they thought about me 🤣🤣
I had nits for an embarrassing amount of my childhood due to a combo of a mum that thought nit shampoo was toxic and an emotional attachment to extremely long tangley hair
Once got caught stealing a VGA cable from a supermarket because I wanted to watch porn on my big tv in my bedroom when I was 13.
Police came and took me back home and told my parents.
Got my big tv taken off of me.
Got told I was banned from that supermarket too but I actually worked there as a Christmas temp 3 years later.
Not embarrassing, but I don’t think my friends know and maybe its kinda weird. I slept in the same bed as my mum until I was around 14, my parents were still living together but separated. I used to sleep in a very particular way, and now if I’m in the same bed as someone I do the same thing sometimes, sort of sleeping almost on top of them. It annoyed my mum too, but I just loved her.
I don’t know my left and right. Literally every time I have to give my husband directions I have to hold my hands up and do the ‘the side that makes an ‘L’ is the left’ thing. Sometimes I still don’t get it right… No pun intended.
I don’t know the alphabet off the top of my head. I lose confidence at “Q” and have to think about what comes next. I get it wrong half the time.
I had “learning difficulties” in primary school and was left in a corner to draw. I remember my parents trying to teach me the alphabet and I just couldn’t keep it in my head.
Then suddenly I became smart in secondary school but teachers couldn’t get me to focus. A few years ago I was late diagnosed with ADHD and it all made sense.
I had half of my bowel removed a year and a half ago and now poop between 3 and 30 times a day, and it seems entirely random as to which.
The surgery was fairly well known, due to me having to take a load of time off work/life, but the after effects, not so much. I don’t really want to be known as the pooping girl. I know it’s nothing to be ashamed of, really, but it’s still embarrassing. If I’m at work and feel an attack coming on I make an excuse like I’ve got a headache, or similar, to go home, because I don’t want people to notice me going to the loo that much
I took Mournjaro to lose weight!
I’m known to smell very good, I get so many compliments, people ask for advice and recs for fragrances, but the reason I focus so much on it is because at around age 12 I didn’t have great hygiene, my parents just couldn’t be bothered to teach and enforce it, and I thought I was getting away with not showering everyday and not using deodorant every morning until one lunch time at school I was walking to the toilets and heard a group of boys talking about how stinky I was. I ended up going to the nurse pretending to be sick and didn’t go in for like a week. I started showering so hot and scrubbing so hard that I’d have friction burns.
I’m so bad at maths. Doing any form of equation makes me panic. I rely heavily on calculators and my fingers lol
Chronic nose picker, hate having stuff in my nose and I don’t always have a tissue
I still cuddle my teddy bear in bed
I’m 51 and cannot swim! Currently having private swimming lessons once a week and finally after about 2 months I no longer use a float.
Atbthe same time that I’m in the pool there is another class running for “puddleducks” basically kids that are like 4 or 5 and quite embrassing really.
Dont know why i never learned as a kid, my mum and dad were both really great swimmers! Decided i needed to learn to swim as slipped a disc afew years ago and swimming is good for it.
My wife and I have an Onlyfans page that revolves around a very particular fetish, we make *a lot* of money from it and for the first time in our lives can live very comfortably, we just can’t tell anyone in our life *how*.
Before opening this post, I thought I didn’t have anything like this. As in scrolling down, I’ve seen about ten that apply to me. I am now incredibly embarrassed that I have *so many* of what are people’s *most* embarrassing secret fact about themselves.
If there is one thing the internet has taught me.. it’s that I’ve never experienced anything that someone else hasn’t.
This thread is fucking fantastic.
