“People Are Such Animals!”: 82 Unresolved Personal Mysteries People Doubt They’ll Ever Solve

Life has a way of leaving us with more questions than answers. As much as we try to make sense of things, there's always a moment that slips through the cracks. Memories that don’t line up, people who disappeared without a trace, or surprise coincidences with odds greater than winning the lottery. Curious about these experiences, Reddit user Sunburn95 made a post on r/AskReddit: "What’s one of the greatest unsolved mysteries of your personal life?" The answers didn’t disappoint.

Who the lady that birthed me was. I was found in a dumpster, premature, and had been left to die. I really don't have any deep urge to find her or anything. A while back I got 23andme, and ended up finding first cousins! The lady who birthed me would have been their aunt.

I reached out to them, and they're both very nice. However we left it at pleasant hellos and small exchanges about ourselves. See, they have 7 aunts. One of them is her. From what I've been told they're all a happy family, and I may even have half siblings.

But I'll never know why I couldn't have been left somewhere safer. To me it's not worth dragging that skeleton out of the closet or potentially getting someone in legal trouble. I'm glad she's doing ok.

I grew up in a happy loving family that has my back, so I made out well enough. :).
