Have anything interesting or unique to share about yourself? Let people ask you anything.

Welcome to /r/AMA!

Please read this sidebar before posting.

If you can't act like a decent human being you will be banned. No warnings will be given. Slur usage is not allowed in this subreddit and will get you banned without warning.

Moderators can use their discretion to remove posts they think need to be (advertising, repeated reposting of the AMA, no identification [My friend said I should do an AMA, AMA.], or otherwise posts that we feel may deteriorate the subreddit.

"Abandoned" AMAs (where the OP doesn't answers any questions) will be deleted. Be advised that only when a reasonable amount of time has gone by, usually a day, in which the OP doesn't answer any questions (or only one out of many) may the post be deleted. If there are special circumstances where you can't for a period of time, please message the mods and we'd be glad to not delete it.

Note the existence of two similar subreddits: /r/AMA and /r/IAmA. The main difference is that we have about 23x less the subscribers.

But this isn't necessarily bad! Maybe you want fewer people to read your story, or you have decided that your AMA does not warrant a large audience. In any case, that's fine with us, as long as you make sure you understand the difference before posting.

If you feel that you posted your story in the wrong place, don't worry. Just delete it and post it in the right place.

I’m a rape baby AMA

41F. When I was early 20s my Mom revealed that my Dad forced himself on her when they were married and that’s how I was conceived. They have been divorced since I was 3, but my Mom is still in love with my Dad and has been trying to get him back for as long as I can remember. It’s a shitshow. AMA.

AMA I was a reporter for CNN Phillipines and met Kim Jong Un during the Singapore Summit

Hello reddit, I am Felicia Curano of Radio Philippines Network, and I have found myself being involved in the career fields of news reporting and journaling for over 20 years, gradually in prominence as I have worked my way up the career ladder since starting off as a blog writer in 2001.

During 2017, I was working as an international reporter (a prestigious title and achievement in the world of journalism) for CNN Philippines, having covered everything from the disappearance of MH370 to terrorist attacks during my 4 year stint for the conpany (2015-2019). However, I really got my big career break in 2018 when I was chosen by CNNP's head office as the network's representative of the events of the Singapore Summit between Trump and Kim, joining about 2500 other global journalists and reporters.

During the events of the summit, I was able to get within a meter of dictator Kim at a certain points, and I was on average, within conversation distance from him (had there not been dozens of other cameras and reporters!) Somehow, despite the bustle, I was almost able to exchange a question with Kim. "What are the motives of the nuclear program?" Kim turned, acknowledging me, but his attention was quickly grabbed by other journalists. Must I say, the experience was almost surreal, knowing that you are along with 2 of the most powerful and influential people in the world.

Ask me anything about Kim's personal details (Clothing, breath, etc) and my experience at the summit!

I was a manager at IHOP for 2y. AMA

Can’t sleep tonight & figured I would share my experiences. I’ve worked at several locations(locally) and have worked all positions. I recently left my management position, so it’s time to spill the beans! I will be answering for the next few hours, and will check back later in the day for questions I missed.

I’ve been locked in an existential crisis for 10 years. AMA

I had a dissociative break from reality when I was 20, due to major stressors, drugs, and the fact that my life wasn’t going as I wanted it to. I’ve now felt dissociated for almost a decade. I still maintain basic family/friend roles, but I’m not and haven’t been “here” in the present moment for a long time. AMA

AMA I found out while at University that a guy I was close with since I was 15 and actively speaking to at the time got arrested for murdering his child

Ive posted this in some comments of other subs when people ask about knowing a killer, people seemed interested so I thought I would share it here for people to ask questions

It has been years since this but it still affects me knowing someone I trusted for years was capable of that. I had slept with him multiple times from ages 16 up and was arranging to see him again days before he was arrested. I was 19 when he was arrested

I found out after coming home from a lecture and seeing the news. I had a break down immediately after seeing it and got myself into a shitty situation that night.

I had journalist contact me after seeing photos of me and the killer together throughout the years. I declined to comment due to feeling it isn’t my place and the focus should be on the victim and the mother who lost their child due to the father rather than my relationship with the killer.

I knew he had a child that had passed by he spun a story about them sadly passing from a virus and how the mother was “abusive to him” and refused to let him at the funeral. I believed him as I had know reason not to. I comforted him and tried my best to be there for him as a friend. We hadn’t slept together for a long time at this point and were always friends, he expressed romantic interest in me and we were arranging to have a date shortly before he was arrested.

I can’t really put into accurate words how truly shocking it felt seeing the news after having a normal day at university. I saw it and immediately had to go to bathroom to be sick. It was a similar feeling to when your stomach drops on a rollercoaster except way more intense.

I used to regularly drink and smoke pot with him when I was underage. (18 drinking age here, age of consent is 16. He was 3 years older than me). His uncle used to invite a bunch of teens to get absolutely wasted at his house. My parents had no clue. Me and him started “sleeping” together from when I turned 16.

Only red flag I saw was he would try and pressure me to “cut him” during which I said no to. I obviously see more red flags now I’m much older but when I was younger I had a lot of issues at home and dealt with it by drinking and acting sexually irresponsible.

So yeah AMA and I will try and answer.

I lived a life of crime for 4 years and became the financial bedrock of my family from the ages of 13 - 17, AMA

Imagine Walter White; that was me, except less badass. I dealt heroine, stole cars, and extorted pedophiles.

I am definately not proud of the things I’ve done (except for the pedo thing, they deserved worse) and will live the rest of my life in a perpetual state of guilt. It consumes me like a black hole in my gut

I will not go into intricate detail about my crimes

My son Died of SUIDS Cosleeping During Lockdown in 2020, AMA

Decided to do this since I think it will help and inform people about the different risks associated with cosleeping, as well as shine a light on how Public Health Policy affected me personally during the Trump Administration’s anemic response to CoVID during the early stages of the pandemic. He was one of two, my first born and a twin. Miss him every day.

Today is the 5 year anniversary of when I tried to kill myself, AMA

Tried hanging myself from a tree. Had a bayonet tucked into my waistband just in case. The second I started dangling, I felt pure regret. Desperately scrounged around my pants for what felt like hours and cut myself loose
