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.

That weird smell you get from your childhood but can never find or replicate if you wanted to. Mine reminds me of white school floors with little black dots all over.

The sheer joy of talking off a pair of jeans when getting home. (I guess it doesn’t apply to people who enjoy wearing jeans inside, though..).
