Drinking vodka ‘for the taste’, frequenting night clubs with loud music, and consuming kale: Individuals reveal their suspicions that others are merely feigning enjoyment. A discussion on an Ask Reddit forum initiated by user ‘Wentleworth’ explores the notion of social pressure prompting individuals to pretend to like certain things. Reddit users eagerly contribute examples of activities they suspect people secretly dislike.
One commonly mentioned topic is social outings. ‘Timmycakes77’ suggests that individuals often lie about their fondness for “night clubs with loud music.” ‘Regachoisiah’ identifies watching parades as an activity that people pretend to enjoy, while ‘DeathSpiral321’ points out a similar sentiment towards attending family reunions. ‘Acceptable_Jelly_529’ asserts that no one truly enjoys celebrating New Year’s Eve.
Birthday parties receive scrutiny as well. User ‘Valis010’ remarks that singing “happy birthday” and having it sung to you are activities that nobody genuinely relishes. Moving on to party guest lists, an anonymous user suggests that “small talk” is widely disliked, and ‘Affectionate_Salt351’ claims that individuals secretly harbor reservations about some of their friends. Even the realm of family doesn’t escape criticism, as user ‘Physical_Boot89’ argues that people do not genuinely enjoy parenting.
Perhaps most daringly, Reddit user ‘Kitty33’ insists on the pretense surrounding marriage, children, and kale, particularly kale. But kale isn’t the only food receiving skepticism. ‘ShortCandy2220’ critiques licorice, and ‘Billybobbobbyjoe’ humorously likens eating oysters to “sucking on a chilled booger.”
Alcohol enters the discourse, with ‘Cannaaard’ suggesting that some individuals pretend to drink vodka “for the taste.” ‘SaveusJebus’ agrees and argues that people do not genuinely savor “straight alcohol.” ‘LiminalWanderings’ shares their suspicions about IPA beer, assuming it to be an inside joke. ‘DeOLPD19’ concurs, stating that IPAs smell like pine. In the realm of beverages, ‘Chino1029’ nominates black coffee, and ‘Careful_Ordinary_833’ targets kombucha and other fermented health drinks as being unappetizing.
Other health-related activities are also called into question. User ‘Bensolosslut’ expresses doubts about running, acknowledging its benefits but finding it difficult to comprehend the enjoyment people derive from it. They compare it to individuals torturing themselves. Similarly, ‘Jadw27’ shares a similar sentiment, admitting that the only satisfaction they derive from running is when it’s over.
‘Replicant-Nexus9’ introduces the idea that reading self-help or motivational books is an activity people pretend to enjoy. They recount feeling nauseated when a colleague raved about “The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People.” Pretending to enjoy one’s job, in general, emerges as another common theme. ‘Coolsheep769’ finds it hard to believe that individuals genuinely find pleasure in returning to the office after working from home. ‘ThemFatale_’ adds that posting on LinkedIn is also viewed skeptically and describes the platform as “super cringey.”
Ultimately, personal preferences play a significant role in determining what individuals find enjoyable. User ‘AlistofthingsIhate’ candidly admits that they genuinely enjoy many of the activities listed in the thread.
