Seriously - Internet Addiction Disorder is actually a real thing. That's not just vanity, it's actually a chemical reaction involving the neurotransmitter dopamine and a reward pathway in the brain similar to the one that controls other addictions such as food or drugs. It feels good to get notifications on something that we post online, and that feeling can become addictive. Sharing your own information also leads to a huge number of potential risks, and sharing other people's information is cruel as it exposes them to those same risks without their consent. If you post identifying information about yourself or others (including names, addresses, and phone numbers) you are working against the spirit of the app's community, and could end up being banned from the app. Here are five of the the most thought-provoking dating-related Whisper confessions from BuzzFeed's list.I feel like this one should go without saying, but it really is the key to all anonymous communities.
Some will definitely inspire a chuckle or two, others will make you take a closer look at your own life, and still others will make you recoil in sheer horror, disgust or sadness. There’s no way to validate the claims of any of these “confessions,” (it’s basically just public therapy/venting/theater), but some of these stories do speak to issues many of us can relate to, regardless of how true the tales are.
But, as BuzzFeed points out, the confessions about dating are particularly WTF-ish. There are paternity confessions that would make Maury Povich blush, sibling rivalry that is worthy of a medieval cable drama series, and workplace issues that make your employment woes all of sudden seem not so bad.
As you can imagine, there are a lot of eyebrow-raising confessions on the app. There’s a secret sharing app called Whisper that lets people create anonymous memes that reveal their secrets.
