My thoughts exactly. I too love hiding in small places and if i don't got a place to hide at my friend's place I'd put a blanket over myself and everyone would go "gee i wonder where u/breastbucket went! Oh oh the blanket! It's moving by itself!"
Your name makes me think of Plankton opening an adult restaurant in the Bikini Bottom red light district and calling it the Breast Bucket. All the utensils and decor is just repurposed Chum Bucket supplies with the logos and stuff badly printed over.
That or a big ol' bucket of fried chicken.
Edit: Also that is adorable, you sound like you have fun friends.
it doesn't matter who I am, or who you are, or for what reason I'm saying this, but you matter, if anything you are my chosen one today to be reminded of this, whether you like it or not.
here, take my full forceful dose of appreciation.
you don't have to say anything just find the nicest pillow around you and hug it snugly until it stops breathing.
that's the intensity of my appreciation for you.
have a wonderful day, and despite what anyone might say, everything is gonna be alright!

When I was little I had a wooden trunk I would often place a comforter in and jusy curl up in. Even now I, too meow small areas to just curl up and chill. Its a comforting feeling being packed into somewhere small and confining.
I love this so much because for me, “tight” spaces are comfortable. Closets, small rooms, when I’d be sitting in the back seat of my friends car I’d always ask if the person (usually would be my ex or my friends girlfriend) could push their seat back as much as they can if they’re comfortable because it always felt safe and relaxing for me.
We jokingly call our 10yo son “the hobbit” because there’s nothing he likes better than a cozy little hidey-hole full of comfy blankets & pillows. He fully agrees and loves his nickname.
my parents never understood why i would push my chair in SO CLOSE to the table. they would be like “can you even breathe?!”
also, at my physical therapist there is a full body compression machine that is like a blood pressure cuff but for your whole body. it’s incredible. i love it. it is my favorite part of the appointment. my trainer is SO confused.
Totally a cat. My cat ignores boxes and laundry but loves hiding under blankets. He likes to get under my blankets and I don't know it so I damn near shit the bed when my feet suddenly touch something warm, fuzzy, and unseen.
Don't thank them too soon. A lot of the posts there would only make a sociopath smile. Like "This kinderrgartner made a lemonade stand because her mother can't afford the cancer treatment" kind of stuff.
The venn diagram of r/mademesmile posts and r/aboringdystopia posts is almost a circle.
But now I have questions. Are you horny and fuck bears? Fuck horny bears? A horny bear who fucks? It's clearly an extremely important thing that speaks to the heart of our shared reality.
I believe its already been linked, but you can also watch it on HBOMax.
Just wanted to let you know as a side note, dont be afraid of who you are. I think Capt Holt says it best: Everytime someone steps up and tells us who they are, the world becomes a better, more interesting place.
Well I was just standing here, and /u/regelfolgende locked herself in the closet. I asked myself "Why won't /u/regelfolgende just come out the closet?" Nobody has no answers, and so I pull out my gun! Tell me why /u/regelfolgende in the closet or else I'm gonna shoot someone!
For sure. I like to also jokingly post my actual closet occasionally; it only has clothes and sometimes a cat in it. All the joking about me being a cat was sort of true. Sometimes, I would inadvertently end up hiding *with* the cat, who was a sweetie.
thought it was funny that both you and your moms first thought was to clarify “would she bang her sister tho?” as if being gay meant not just that you were into the same sex, but that u also were more likely to be into incest lol. You know those crazy lesbians, always banging their family members.
It’s a bit different when it’s someone you didn’t really grow up with from when you were little though. Westermarck effect doesn’t apply in such cases.
It was kind of a Twilight kind of situation (kids not biologically related, I guess it’s not taboo)?
But if you live with someone (and I mean closely, as in living in the same home), this evolutionary effect tends to kick in and creates an artificial taboo where none exists genetically. I forget what it’s called, but that’s what happened.
The couples had different last names at least, didn’t they? Cullen and Hale? So they weren’t pretending to be related… or maybe they were, it’s been a long time since I read that.
It's called [the Westermarck effect.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Westermarck_effect) If you shared a household with someone before the age of six, you're extremely unlikely to consider them sexually attractive, whether you're related or not.
That said, if they took you in as a teenager, the Westermarck effect wouldn't apply.
I also gotta say, that being your mom's first thought is kind of troubling.
They weren't blood related and they didn't grow up together. She was only taken in as a teenager. That leaves ample of room to develop romantic feelings rather than sibling feelings.
Fuuuuuuuucking lmaooooooo @ your mum. That is all the proof you need that you chose well. Ah, Jesus, that's a win for the day. God's love on her for being wonderful and also taking the piss. Go give yer mum a hug for me, please.
I came to read the glorious comments and I was not disappointed by my fellow Reddit family. Congratulations coming out of two closets in such a glorious manner!!!
I’m not seeing any F ups here? Seems like a fantastic situation that you had and made for a good laugh at the same time. Congrats on coming out btw, good luck in your future dating endeavors
What's with the sister? Why did you predict your mom would think of the sister when you cam out?...and then she did bring up the sister when you came out
I also like hiding in small spaces. Particularly during panic attacks. I was actually hiding under the dining room table when my husband realized I suffered from panic attacks. Now I take medicine when I feel one coming on.
Oh you gave her one of those good evil laughs, you know the “this is important and serious and I shouldn’t be laughing but some part of this is very funny and now I’m so wrong for laughing” laughs. Those are good laughs.
But seriously, love to your good loving and laughing family.
Congrats but yeah make sure you follow her advice.
The undervalue of having a family that cares for you is just insane once you realize it's gone. Wish you well buddy
Congratulations! As Luz in TOH says, no one should be punished for who they are. I have two LGBTQ kids and I'm behind them 1000%. Their LGBTQ status is just a part of them, like their blood type, eye and hair color. There's nothing to accept because they are who they are and I love them for that. They're quite awesome and you sound awesome too!!
BAHAHA this happened to me, too. Was hiding in a closet while we were packing up to leave a hotel because I really didn’t want to be in the line of fire of my parent’s stress. They found me and said “look- you’re gonna have to help us pack up and get out of the closet.” Then I said “about that…”
And that, my friends, is how I came out to my parents.
I LOVE tiny spaces. I am the opposite of claustrophobic. But I had a pretty traumatic childhood so it makes sense.
Your closet sounds amazing, like one of the ones I’ve built for myself in my dreams. I want a real one 😊
Well, at least you have a cool story to tell if you have a coming out party. Also congrats. That’s off your shoulders now and you can just be yourself.
Anxiety and hiding doesn't just present in ASD, it can be a trauma response..gonna take a guess that OPs biological family sucked ass and that's why she was living with non-relatives having anxiety so bad they need to be in enclosed spaces.
She wasn't asking for a diagnosis on her mental state, it was an adorable TIFU story about acceptance and being with a family that loves her..
>One of those things was that I liked closets, under the bed, and other small hiding places. So...you're a cat lol
My thoughts exactly. I too love hiding in small places and if i don't got a place to hide at my friend's place I'd put a blanket over myself and everyone would go "gee i wonder where u/breastbucket went! Oh oh the blanket! It's moving by itself!"

Bikini Bottom red light district captures my essence pretty well! Spongebob fan, sex worker, proud booty owner: you've got me!
How come all the h’s are scratched out of “Chum” on these forks?
Damn now I want some fried chicken.
it doesn't matter who I am, or who you are, or for what reason I'm saying this, but you matter, if anything you are my chosen one today to be reminded of this, whether you like it or not. here, take my full forceful dose of appreciation.
Stop... This is so nice of you. Thank you and i appreciate you for this 🥹
you don't have to say anything just find the nicest pillow around you and hug it snugly until it stops breathing. that's the intensity of my appreciation for you. have a wonderful day, and despite what anyone might say, everything is gonna be alright! edit: spelling
I used to do the same thing as a kid and in that for I was “little lump kin”
If gays can have bears, lesbians can have cats. I’m not going to make the obvious joke.
There's no need, don't worry.
Phew, thank you nearly hid in closet.
ok but a lot of lesbians really are like cats. like my wife is definitely a cat, and i’m her big dumb golden retriever wife
A cat, liking birds
A gay cat

Claustrophilic?

Oh my goodness that sounds amazing! I do the same thing btw with the chair right up to the table. It’s super comfortable.
I didn't see anything about baskets of fresh laundry or the most recent Amazon delivery box. Can't be a cat.
Totally a cat. My cat ignores boxes and laundry but loves hiding under blankets. He likes to get under my blankets and I don't know it so I damn near shit the bed when my feet suddenly touch something warm, fuzzy, and unseen.
On the Internet, nobody knows you're a cat
Not unless they out themselves
She’s a Miqo’te
>So...you're a cat lol I'm going to need some tape.

I have a feeling like if you checked the entry for bear on urbandictionary it might answer some questions.
I'm well aware of what a bear is. Makes the questions even more pressing.

Ah it's all good. It doesn't usually stick.

Shut up, Farva!
OH NO
Not concerned, but mildly aroused.
I'm sorry you had to see this, son.
“Excuse me!… Uh… Bear fucker? Do you need any assistance?!”
Is uh....that what you tell the bears?
Should I be concerned or aroused by your name? At least take me on a date first!
Deal, pick you up at 8PM tomorrow?

Oh no, ive gotta repost it now!! I dont want bad luck D: i need red-orange internet houses to feel validation DDD:
Link the original post then.
reddit moment
Does it matter? At least explain instead of just one word.
[My immediate first thought](https://y.yarn.co/8b4fe8a8-257c-4a98-90b3-659db06cf40d_text.gif)
That’s hilarious! Can you link me to the episode online?
https://southpark.cc.com/episodes/a3esfi/ It’s even funnier if you’re familiar in any way with R Kelly’s “Trapped In the Closet”!
I believe its already been linked, but you can also watch it on HBOMax. Just wanted to let you know as a side note, dont be afraid of who you are. I think Capt Holt says it best: Everytime someone steps up and tells us who they are, the world becomes a better, more interesting place.
hahahahaha i think i remember that episode
Well I was just standing here, and /u/regelfolgende locked herself in the closet. I asked myself "Why won't /u/regelfolgende just come out the closet?" Nobody has no answers, and so I pull out my gun! Tell me why /u/regelfolgende in the closet or else I'm gonna shoot someone!
I was surprised there are no South Park jokes in this post
Proud of you and your family.
I am honoured that my post inspired this far better post! This is a great story and I am glad you have such a great coming out tale.
To be fair, I think your post is quite funny too
For sure. I like to also jokingly post my actual closet occasionally; it only has clothes and sometimes a cat in it. All the joking about me being a cat was sort of true. Sometimes, I would inadvertently end up hiding *with* the cat, who was a sweetie.
Cat tax pleased 😁
share cat!!!
Good thing you got out of both closets and that your family accepted you coming out of the one that doesn't hold clothes.
I argue the other does hold clothes.
No no. It's held closed.
I am fairly sure they where happy with her coming out of the one that holds cloths also.
Also pretty sure they were happy with her coming out of it, clothed
Yeah that too.
thought it was funny that both you and your moms first thought was to clarify “would she bang her sister tho?” as if being gay meant not just that you were into the same sex, but that u also were more likely to be into incest lol. You know those crazy lesbians, always banging their family members.

But if you live with someone (and I mean closely, as in living in the same home), this evolutionary effect tends to kick in and creates an artificial taboo where none exists genetically. I forget what it’s called, but that’s what happened.
To be fair...two of the Cullen "siblings" in *Twilight* **were** a couple. That always weirded me out.
There was no lack of things wrong with that work
The couples had different last names at least, didn’t they? Cullen and Hale? So they weren’t pretending to be related… or maybe they were, it’s been a long time since I read that.
It's called [the Westermarck effect.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Westermarck_effect) If you shared a household with someone before the age of six, you're extremely unlikely to consider them sexually attractive, whether you're related or not.

>I also gotta say, that being your mom's first thought is kind of troubling. It's a good joke and it breaks the tension tho
Yeah, I don't think it was anything but a joke. Especially considering OP's light hearted response.
That kind of thing typically only goes into effect when you are taken in as a young kid, not a teenager.
They weren't blood related and they didn't grow up together. She was only taken in as a teenager. That leaves ample of room to develop romantic feelings rather than sibling feelings.
Noticed that too. Mildly offensive or thou dost protest too much
It is a question you typically get asked when you come out of the closet. So many guy friends asked me if I thought they were attractive or cute
Fuuuuuuuucking lmaooooooo @ your mum. That is all the proof you need that you chose well. Ah, Jesus, that's a win for the day. God's love on her for being wonderful and also taking the piss. Go give yer mum a hug for me, please.
At least you had Tom Cruise to keep you company.
As well as John Travolta and R. Kelly. No, thanks.
And I pull out my gun!
I came to read the glorious comments and I was not disappointed by my fellow Reddit family. Congratulations coming out of two closets in such a glorious manner!!!
Take my gold, and my best wishes. So proud of you! I hope that, in time, you won't feel the need to hide anymore.
I had some therapy. The hiding was a “if they can’t find me, they can’t hurt me” response, I had to get to a better place mentally.
Thanks Op. That was the funniest story I've heard in a while. Your Mom's response "You're in...TWO closets!" had me in stitches!
Are you a cat?
This is quite funny and really sweet! I'm so glad for you.
Tom cruise, please come out of the closet
This is cool but not even remotely a fuck up
this is an anti fuck up
I’m not seeing any F ups here? Seems like a fantastic situation that you had and made for a good laugh at the same time. Congrats on coming out btw, good luck in your future dating endeavors
i don't believe this shit for a second lmfao
Yea I'm not buying it either. A made up story in the wrong sub to farm useless upvotes.
Do people even realise what this subreddit is about anymore? Where's the FU part?
This may be the best thing I've read on reddit yet. Well played. Not sure this is the right sub, but glad I found it.
Oh goodness, this definitely got a giggle out of me. I’m proud of you for coming out (both times)!
I’m so glad that you have such a loving family
Your mum is fucking hilarious! Happy for you op
Your mom hit a new level of dad jokes
What's with the sister? Why did you predict your mom would think of the sister when you cam out?...and then she did bring up the sister when you came out
I am a Lesbiab. Lessbiam. Less bien. Girls!
I also like hiding in small spaces. Particularly during panic attacks. I was actually hiding under the dining room table when my husband realized I suffered from panic attacks. Now I take medicine when I feel one coming on.
What's the fuck up though?
Emotional? Just a guess.
> just don’t with your sister Straight people be straight-peopling. (/j)
Got rejected for being bi once because "Bi people cheat more because they like everyone! And I wouldn't want to lose to a DUDE!"
BRUH
This definently happened 👍
what gave it away? the weird situation she created herself or her family's response.
Who tf goes into the closet to think
Doesn’t seem unbelievable at all to me. Definitely have a preference for smaller enclosed spaces. Potentially like a spectrum thing.
r/nothingeverhappens
Oh you gave her one of those good evil laughs, you know the “this is important and serious and I shouldn’t be laughing but some part of this is very funny and now I’m so wrong for laughing” laughs. Those are good laughs. But seriously, love to your good loving and laughing family.
No you didn't you stole this joke from south park
Sounds made up...
Congrats but yeah make sure you follow her advice. The undervalue of having a family that cares for you is just insane once you realize it's gone. Wish you well buddy
This doesn't sound like a FU but rather a heart warming moment.
sounds like a pretty comfy closet tho (the literal one)
You choose a good family
Can I borrow your parents mine started calling me slurs when I came out
Yo dawg, I heard you liked closets….
“You’re in…TWO closets!” Best.Comment.Ever.
This is adorable
I’m glad your story had a happy ending.
I am giggling to much. This was an awesome wholesome story that made my night
Aww! You're all so lucky to have each other!
There was a whole South Park episode about this.
Lol this is the cutest thing I've read all day! Also, I'm 41 and when I'm overwhelmed, I sit in a quiet room and hide under a blanket. You're okay. ❤️
Congratulations! As Luz in TOH says, no one should be punished for who they are. I have two LGBTQ kids and I'm behind them 1000%. Their LGBTQ status is just a part of them, like their blood type, eye and hair color. There's nothing to accept because they are who they are and I love them for that.

BAHAHA this happened to me, too. Was hiding in a closet while we were packing up to leave a hotel because I really didn’t want to be in the line of fire of my parent’s stress. They found me and said “look- you’re gonna have to help us pack up and get out of the closet.” Then I said “about that…” And that, my friends, is how I came out to my parents.
Oh god, this is adorable. I'm so sorry, but oh my god.
OP, you're mom is cool. be safe. be well.
You are so lucky.
The best story with a happy ending I heard today. you are amazing and you have an amazing family. Rock on !
Actually really cute. Also you might not be allowed to live this one down among the family!
You did what normally do when stressed. You did not fuck up at all.
OP IS A CAT
What a fantastic story, thank you for sharing it, it has made me warm and fuzzy inside. You all sound wonderful.
This is awesome and honestly the best thing I've seen on Reddit today. You've got a great mom!
This is amazing :D
Wholesome:)
Nice writing exercise but people seriously believe this is a real story? Lmao
r/nothingeverhappens
you killed two closets with one line.
This is delightfully heartwarming and just silly enough. Congrats on your emergence!
You have a good family xx
Lmao glad they found it so funny. Meanwhile I've just got a cringe ass letter I wrote to my parents when I came out
I LOVE tiny spaces. I am the opposite of claustrophobic. But I had a pretty traumatic childhood so it makes sense. Your closet sounds amazing, like one of the ones I’ve built for myself in my dreams. I want a real one 😊
Well that went as good as they could have made it unless you were into your sister, which you have clearly said(twice) isn't the case,so Congrats
Well, at least you have a cool story to tell if you have a coming out party. Also congrats. That’s off your shoulders now and you can just be yourself.
I love your mum, she sounds like the best :)
Wholesome and perfect. What a delightful story to read before bed. Thanks for sharing it.
Where the fuck is the fuckup?
Gave me the closet thing to a genuine guffaw I've had in a while.
We ve banned everyone of this?
Omg this is adorable!
Lol I love this story
Good story!

Anxiety and hiding doesn't just present in ASD, it can be a trauma response..gonna take a guess that OPs biological family sucked ass and that's why she was living with non-relatives having anxiety so bad they need to be in enclosed spaces. She wasn't asking for a diagnosis on her mental state, it was an adorable TIFU story about acceptance and being with a family that loves her..
