People aspire to be perfect. But we’re flawed. So when we try to hide our shortcomings, often the only person that we’re fooling is ourselves. And there’s a Reddit post to remind us of that if we ever forget.
Created by user TheBlanketFortPirate, it asked everyone, “What’s something we all just pretend no one does, but in truth we know we all do it?” The platform’s community immediately noticed it and in less than two weeks, it has already received over 19K comments, many of which provide accurate answers!

Recently I had to insist that my wife knocks loudly and waits before opening my son’s bedroom door. I really had to explain why FFS! I know he’s constantly jacking off, but he would be mortified if anyone knew, especially his parents.

Look up words that people use because we don’t know the meaning even though we pretend to when they are talking.

Have anxiety after social events.
“Was I weird?”
“Did they like me?”
“Did I look well enough?”
We all do this. Your friends don’t hate you. They are just as worried about you hating them as you are of them. A healthy person doesn’t sit and think about how much they hate a person they either just saw or met. Your real friends won’t care about the things you think they hate you for (acting weird, saying something awkwardly, second hand embarassment). Just breathe. You are loved, even if it’s just by yourself. You are loved.

Kids hide their profanity from Adults, and Adults hide their profanity from Kids. Because both sides must maintain the illusion that the other side doesn’t know that they know profanity.
