Reddit users have been sharing their deepest darkest secrets, from the heart-breaking to the toe-curling

Another user detailed a hideous incident which happened in their youth.

Another opened up about their mortifying first kiss.
"When I was a freshman and my stepmom was drinking at the time, she gave me a kiss on the lips (full blown)," the user wrote.
