Traveling teaches you that no matter where you go and who you meet, you will be able to relate to those people at least on some level. Certain thoughts, emotions, and habits are simply universal.
So Reddit user Broken__Defraculator posted a question on the platform, inviting everyone to list the things we all do or experience but, for one reason or another, don't talk about in public.

When hot in bed, we don’t just throw the covers off. We stick out a single leg….except we don’t just “dangle” it outside the covers, we wrap it around the duvet and kinda clamp it back down.

No one has ever shown us how to do this. No one ever taught us to do this. No one has ever discussed this. We just all do it.

One weird little thing we all do but rarely talk about is replaying imaginary arguments or conversations in our heads, often coming up with the perfect comeback we wish we'd said at the time.

Pretending not to see someone you know in public to avoid that awkward “hi” moment. We all do it, don’t lie.

Withessing some (random) person doing something really embarassing to themself and actively choosing/doing our best to ignore it and moving on. This is empathy.

RedeRules770:

At work once this lady bent over to grab her purse and whatnot. I happened to be facing away from her and she tooted, just a little one. She said “oh! Excuse me!” I turned around with a confused look and said “for what?” She looked SO RELIEVED and said “oh, never mind”
She’ll never know that I know.

When a random embarrassing/cringe memory floods the mind and the best you can do is try to blurt out some incoherent words, sounds, melody to distract yourself.

When you snap out of a daydream while you’re driving and quickly check all your mirrors as if you might catch a glimpse of a huge accident you caused. Then wonder how the hell did I drive this far and can’t remember.

When you're pooping in a public bathroom and strategically plan your exit for when it's empty so no one associates you with the smell of poop or farts you might have unleashed.

Anyone else having entire conversations with themselves? Like, full on talking at the 2nd person, like you're talking with someone else and trying to explain something? Sometimes even out loud (but in whispers so you don't look like your insane. Then you realize you're whispering to yourself and you look even more insane). Or am I just really lonely?

Even weirder, for me it happens in another language. I'm not English native, but I start talking with myself and arguing in english.

Also, do you guys/girls move when you're talking? On the phone, for example. I can't stand still. I'm literally walking circles around my own room. Sooner or later I'm gonna start digging out trenches like some Looney tunes cartoon. This also happens when talking by myself. It's like moving my body allows me to think and explain better.

Picking our noses. I mean, c'mon. Sometimes a tiny, golden morsel is stuck in just that one irritating spot where you can feel it for minutes - or hours - and there's no Kleenex in the vicinity. So up goes the finger and out comes the booger. Flick it, eat it, wipe it on your jeans. Whatever. Gotta get rid of it.

I feel like deja vu isn't discussed often enough. Not the "this feels like something I've been through" but legitimate "I had this exact dream and now it's happening". We all have that s**t and no one talks about it.

The things we smell sometimes. Our own farts. Our hands after scratching an itch in your pants....we all do it when we are alone. It's actually biologically ingrained in us to "like" that smell. Our brains give us a little dopamine for checking....if the smell is off we know something is wrong.

The little shake we do when we get under a cold cozy blanket.

Such a privilege.
