Okay... because I didn't feel like going to sleep anyway. >:c
Confession 1: Your biggest fear.
Honestly one of my biggest fears is the idea of my mental state being damaged or losing control of my own thoughts. I'm terrified of getting something like brain damage, Alzheimer's, or anything that carries strong implications of not being able to think in a relatively cohesive way. Also, while the existence of such a thing can be debated by people until the cows come home, the idea of demonic/ghost possession really creeps me out, pretty much on the base idea of no longer having control of yourself or your own thoughts.
Confession 2: Worst Nightmare.
Well... my worst literal nightmares usually involve someone getting brutally hurt and I'm unable to do anything about it.
Confession 3: Something you wish you could forget.
I guess I have those moments, like everyone else, where you have something that is incredibly embarrassing in retrospect. But, I guess, all in all valuable learning experience can be gained from nearly all events in life so... as for forgetting something, I really wouldn't want to since that would mean losing that past experience as a reference point for behavior.
Confession 4: Best dream.
Uh... I really don't know. :/ There was one dream I had which had a really cool environment though. :O
Mostly my dreams are just hodge-podges of weird.
Confession 5: Favorite memory.
I really don't have a favorite memory, which is kind of odd for me considering my obsession with nearly everything past-related. If I had to say, my favorite memories are ones that I just have a strong emotional connection (for no reason that can be pinned down really. Some of them are happy memories and some are more melancholic. It just depends on what strikes a chord with me) to and have influenced my interests/aesthetics.
Confession 6: Worst experience.
Either the time Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder nearly overtook my life or some other stuff that I'm not really willing to talk about on a public internet forum (Yeah... kinda cheating on a "Confession" Meme, but whatever...)
Confession 7: Biggest pet peeve.
Strawmen arguments/characters. I don't even really care if I agree with the basic opinion being presented or not, I just find strawmen terrible from a writing perspective, as well as just a sad excuse to deflect any decent discussion from oneself by demonizing the person you disagree with.
Confession 8: Something you're paranoid about.
I've always been somewhat paranoid about whether or not if people outside of my family do actually like me, or if they're just tolerating my presence because they feel sorry for me. (WELL SHIT... I sound incredibly pathetic)
Confession 9: What you thought of your current best friend when you met them.
I don't really have a one "best friend". I just tend to have a group of really good friends vs. other people I get along well with.
I DID meet one of my good friends through our mutual love of Silent Hill 2, if that tells you anything, though.
Confession 10: Your strongest principle/belief.
Take responsibility for your actions and try your best not to bring undue harm others.
Confession 11: What annoys you the most.
Gross oversimplification of difficult/complex topics
Confession 12: Something you want to do before you die.
I guess to have my art be "successful", by the conventional sense of the word.
Confession 13: Biggest regret.
Not appreciating some people as much as I should have before they died.
Confession 14: Hidden talent.
I can write pretty damn good research papers and essays. :I (MOST BORING HIDDEN TALENT EVER)
Confession 15: Favorite thing about yourself.
My curiosity and contemplative nature
Confession 16: One thing you would change about yourself if you could.
The fact that I am a huge, anxiety-riddled pussy
Confession 15: Worst habit.
Probably not getting enough sleep.
Confession 16: Most important person in your life at the moment.
People in my family
Confession 19: A skill you wish you had.
Well, a sense of basic charisma would be a good start. Also, the ability to throw an actual punch (and not a light tap on someone).
Confession 20: Biggest compliment you've ever received.
That I've inspired people in their art.
Confession 21: What you hate most about society.
I dunno.
Confession 22: Something that makes you cry.
Seeing or hearing other people and/or animals hurt. I have a tendency to be ridiculously empathetic, while at the same time a need to be stupidly stoic when it comes to the display of sad feelings... WHICH IS FUN!
Confession 23: Something that makes you laugh.
Cats doing stupid things.
Confession 24: Most treasured possession.
Living in Tornado Alley, this question becomes "What do I take into the basement, whenever the tornado sirens go off?" I get the cats down there first, and after that I get my computer, cell phone, tablet, back-up drives and chargers. So, I guess in a way, those are my most treasured possessions.
Confession 25: Something no-one expected you to like.
Bruce Springsteen
Confession 26: Strangest hobby.
Antiquing (yeah... not that interesting. :c)
Confession 27: Biggest ambition.
Be a successful artist and to be something that those whom I care about can be proud of.
Confession 28: Something stupid you used to believe in when you were younger.
That there were monsters in the toilet and if I didn't get to open the bathroom door by the time the toilet was done flushing, I would somehow be trapped in the bathroom with them (Yeah, I have NO IDEA how I developed that idea).
Confession 29: A random confession.
I hate stickers. They disgust me and I can't figure out why.
Confession 30: A few words to, honestly, describe yourself.
A neurotic, introspective man trying to figure out where he fits in life.

Number 8 is also really common, I know on my bad days I can't get that thought out of my head either. 22 is also painfully common among introverts it seems, spending so much time with our own thoughts and emotions it sometimes gets hard not to mirror those of others.
at this point I'm probably rambling and wasting too much of your time already, but I suppose Good luck with your goals, and I guess thank you for the post in a "thank god it's not just me" sort of way?
The same for me goes for N°9, even though I have a bunch of "closest friends".
And yeah, losing my mental capasity to reason and think coherently is one of the most terrifying things, even more than death, specially thinking on how you would be making your loved ones feel without even realizing yourself.
I also feel N°8 many times when it comes to people outside my family and internet friends, even though it's not pity but tolerating and obnoxious idiot to be nice.
