Researchers have found that embarrassment is adaptive. We feel it more when we make mistakes in front of people who are close to us and less in front of outsiders.

(This is because we identify with our social groups and value their opinions over others, which allows embarrassment to elicit forgiveness and advertise trustworthiness, ultimately helping us repair relationships.)

So to learn about human nature, Reddit user Jotazepp decided to utilize the anonymity of the internet and asked everyone else on the platform to share the most sheepish things the world would find out if they were to suddenly pass away.

I’m 71, when I die the surprise is: I spent all the money.

I subscribe to a hedgehog rehab charity

We contacted Jotazepp, and the Redditor was kind enough to have a little chat with us.

“I got the idea for the post when I was watching some crime content (I don’t remember the exact case, but this applies to many of them) where a significant other discovers the body of their loved one,” Jotazepp told Bored Panda.

“So I thought, ‘My bathroom is so filthy, what if I die and someone encounters this mess? How embarrassing!'”

I’m female, and a male ex of mine loves dressing up in women’s clothes, especially lacy underwear, silky nighties etc. He was really scared he was going to die and his family would find all this stuff. So he keeps it in an old suitcase of mine with my name, flight tags and address on it. So it looks like I’ve left it at his house. I personally think they’ll still be surprised as I don’t wear anything fancy (just jeans, black t shirts, etc), but it keeps him happy.

To do lists from when I’ve been depressed with stuff like “take a shower” and “go outside” and mostly not crossed off.

After getting familiar with the discussion, Jotazepp said, “A lot of people seem to be afraid of someone finding their [excited] stuff (taste in , [intimacy] toys, etc). Also, a recurring answer with which I agree was ‘My search history.'”

Personally, the Redditor isn’t fond of the emotion. “I think embarrassment is a negative feeling because it makes me feel uncomfortable.”

And it’s understandable. Who wouldn’t prefer all of our social interactions to proceed smoothly? We don’t want to offend our colleagues or look like oafs to our crushes.

How much I’m lacking money on my bank account… And how terrible I’ve considered myself all my life 😂 Oh and… my darkest habit maybe, I always hated injustice. So sometimes I’m tracking crazy people that are seeking for children on the internet Making them lose their time, go to false rendez-vous, and scare them so they actually aren’t meeting anyone, except their darkes fear 🤭.

#9

I’m kind of known as a geeky academic person in my family and friends. However I write romance stories on one of the online platforms with fake name and have a good following. They all will be surprised.

I’m a heterosexual female. My search history would not indicate that.

Honestly nothing. I’m that boring. In the autopsy they’d see I have hemorrhoids but besides that not much else.

#12

To quote Seinfeld… **JERRY:** Can’t you at least die with a little dignity? **GEORGE:** No I can’t. I can’t die with dignity. I have no dignity. I want to be the one person who doesn’t die with dignity. I live my whole life in shame. Why should I die with dignity?

#13

Diary-entry-like random notes where I’m venting about certain people / situations. Writing has always been a helpful way for me to process more intense/confusing emotions, but I do worry that if I suddenly die those notes will be found and people who I genuinely cared about in life may then think that this one random journal entry represented “the real way” I actually secretly thought about them in totality. When really it was just a moment and not representative of my whole relationship with them.

I think I’m scared of anybody reading my diary. For my family (husband, kids, parents) , friends and coworkers I’m a smily and active person. But in reality I’m ALWAYS afraid of life, full of depressive thoughts, constantly fighting to not let my anxiety get the control of my mind knowing most of my life anxiety will win. If someone read what I write they will know that I was actually acting to be a good person when actually I’m a psychiatric case with no solution.

If you’re reading this worried about someone finding something out- I had a friend who died accidentally from choking himself while pleasuring himself. In an effort to press upon people it wasn’t intentional and in her grief- his mom didn’t care who she told. Nobody else cared either. That’s not what we bring up about him. We’re all just sad he’s gone. Please be careful if that’s your thing, you guys.
