ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Confessionym

Confessionym is a fancy word that means telling someone about the things you did wrong.

When we do something bad, we might feel guilty or ashamed. Confessionym is when we choose to talk to someone we trust, like a parent or a religious leader, and tell them about the things we did wrong.

By doing this, we hope to make things right and get forgiveness for what we did. It can be scary to confess, but it's important to be honest and take responsibility for our actions.

Think of it like cleaning up a messy room. Confessionym is like admitting that you made the mess and asking for help to clean it up. It may be hard to do, but it will help you feel better afterwards.
