People Confess Things Everyone Does But No One Actually Admits To

We've all done some embarrassing things in our lives, and we may do what we can to keep them a secret.

Whether it was something legitimately embarrassing or something like not taking the best care of ourselves, sometimes it's easier to keep those behaviors private than to have a tough or awkward conversation about them.


Curious about others' behaviors, Redditor MrTuxedo1 asked:

"What does everyone do but won’t admit?"

In Great Company

"To talk to themselves when they’re alone."

- Scandroid99

Concealing Passed Gas

"At the beginning of my relationship, I would wait until we walking in heavy traffic and let it go. He heard me once and now every time a bus goes by, he gives me a sideways look."

- FloptimasPloptimas

The Alternate Ending

"To imagine what life would be like with your crush, even as an adult."

- Oppxma

So Haunting

"To lay awake at night, remembering everything that you’ve done wrong in your entire life in 30 seconds, and then just lying there thinking about each and every one of them individually until you’ve got to get up and do something the next day."

- Summertime64

Kitchen Secrets

"To click a pair of tongs together twice whenever they pick a pair up."

- ESlayer12

Complaints Aplenty

"Probably to complain. People say, 'No one likes a complainer,' but everyone I’ve ever met complains about crap."

- Mysterious_Fisher

New Surroundings

"To secretly wish certain people… would move away."

- usercb

Reminiscing

"To think about compliments given by someone years ago."

- SuvenPan

Awake for Hours

"To pretend like they weren’t sleeping when a phone call wakes them up."

- Ddubs111

Nose-Picking

"I remember seeing a while back, one user’s dad apparently had a saying, 'We all pick our noses… it’s what we do afterwards that separates us.'"

- Burgher89

Being Judgmental

"Judge. We all do it. It’s about being intelligent enough to not let that cloud our perspective."

"Also, I mean, sometimes it's okay and even good to judge. Sometimes people are bad for you to be around, and that's important to recognize."

"Being judgmental is only a bad thing if you're overly so and/or do it for bad reasons, imo. But even with that, yeah, we all do it."

- Maleficient_Hawk_318

Past Connections

"To wonder if people that have since long disappeared from your life (or you've only met once or twice) from time to time still think about you."

- Ioakpaa

The Next Great Singer

"I tried to sing, like, really good. When I'm alone, I be hitting those high notes, even though I sound like a dying walrus."

- kumorithecloud

Imaginary Comebacks

"To have (and even win) an argument with a stranger from an encounter three years ago when you didn't say anything at the time."

- mrandymoz

Avoiding Healthcare

"To not go to see the doctor when they know they should."

- SuvenPan

Most of these activities seem mundane, and that's because we've all done them, whether we want to admit to it or not.

But like anything else, there are limits. While it might be okay to reminisce or to explore guilty feelings from time to time, these aren't activities that should take place every night.

MAGA Fans Accused Kyle Rittenhouse Of Being Secretly Trans After He Criticized Trump—Because Of Course

The far-right didn't take kindly to Kyle Rittenhouse after he criticized former President Donald Trump's Second Amendment stance, baselessly accusing him of being transgender in an attempt to discredit him.

Rittenhouse has long been a darling among the right since he was acquitted of all charges relating to the fatal shootings of Joseph Rosenbaum and Anthony Huber and injuring Gaige Grosskreutz during the 2020 Kenosha unrest, sparked by the shooting of Jacob Blake, a Black man who was left paralyzed from the waist down after being shot by a white police officer.

George Conway Uses Resurfaced RFK Jr. Post To Drag Him After Bizarre Dead Bear Story

Conservative attorney George Conway used an old post on X, formerly Twitter, to mock Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who is facing heavy criticism after admitting that in 2014 he found a dead bear cub on the road and then bizarrely placed it in New York City's Central Park to make it look like it had been hit by a bicycle.

Kennedy revealed to MAGA actor Roseanne Barr that he and some friends were responsible for dumping the bear cub after finding it dead. He said "people were drinking with me who thought [it] was a good idea" to stage an accident. He claimed the idea came to him at the time because he was running late for another engagement.
