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.

AOC Saves The Day By Giving Bronx Middle School Group A Tour Of The Capitol Amid Shutdown

New York Democratic Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez had people cheering after she stepped in to act as tour guide after a group of middle schoolers from the Bronx pulled up to the Capitol hours after the U.S. government officially shut down.

The federal government shut down early Wednesday after the White House and Congress failed to reach an agreement on federal spending. While Senate Democrats are in the minority, they hold enough seats to filibuster and are insisting that Republicans agree to extend federal subsidies for people insured under the Affordable Care Act.

GOP Lawmaker Sparks Outrage After Calling For Dem Rep. To Be Executed For Urging People To Protest Trump

On Wednesday, September 25, an Arizona MAGA Republican state Representative publicly called for the execution of Washington Democratic Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal because she urged anyone displeased with MAGA Republican President Donald Trump's job performance to exercise their First Amendment right to free speech and to protest.

Apparently, urging citizens to make their voices heard was a step too far for Arizona state GOP Representative John Gillette, who responded to a clip edited out of a longer video by right-wing account The Patriot Oasis (TPO). A quick scan through Gillette's X account media posts will reveal his political leanings.

Liberal TikToker Mortified After Discovering That Her Therapist Is Hardcore MAGA

There used to be a time where politics did not have to come into every room or be a part of every conversation. But in a world with President Trump and MAGA, it's not as simple as being Red, Blue, or Green anymore.

Now, the sociopolitical climate is dangerous for many people and still very stress-inducing for others. It's important to surround ourselves with people who make us feel safe and seen—and unfortunately, that might mean cutting out people who have "different beliefs" than we do.
