We all secretly love something but would hesitate to tell it in public because we don’t want people to judge us.
A user asked the forum, “What do you secretly love that you would never admit to in public?” Here are the top responses.
MOPPING
“Mopping, I’m a janitor and generally hate my work, but mopping is so good.”
SANRIO STATIONERY STORES
“Sanrio stationery stores. All those different multicolor pens, a thousand kinds of erasers, spiral bound notebooks galore, my kids sadly have no appreciation for this wonderland.”
PLAYING VIDEO GAMES
“Playing video games naked at home while eating cheese.”
IRONING CLOTHES
“Ironing clothes. A dozen of them. I can’t explain how it relaxes me. I told one person, and they looked at me like I was crazy.”
PICKING UP WORMS FROM THE STREET
“Picking up worms from the street and sidewalks when it rains and moving them into the dirt so they don’t burn in the sun every time it rains, I do this.”
WEEKEND ROUTINE
“My (male 41) weekend routine is coming home from work, making hot chocolate, starting a fire, dressing in an ugly pink nightgown made for old ladies, and watching forensic files.”
TALKING TO MYSELF
“Talking to myself and things around me.
I live alone with my dog and have constant visitors and whatnot, but I still get a lot of looks whenever I talk to myself out loud (not yelling or anything). I am one of those people who will make little comments about themselves and usually will speak to my dog and the things I see around me, too.
It’s not wrong but weird and something I’d never admit I love doing. It’s so soothing to my dumb lizard brain.”
COVID-19 LOCKDOWN
“I loved the COVID-19 lockdown. I stayed in like it was raining lava outside. Just me and the husband, eating and drinking and talking about what we would stockpile to get us through.
I’m a social person, but staying home in my favorite place with my famous person and knowing that going out wasn’t needed and frowned upon was so lovely.”
ANIME
“Anime/Manga. I’m a 55-year-old man, married with two teens. I know very well the assumptions that strangers make about men my age who love Anime and Manga.”
MCDONALD’S AND KITCHEN NIGHTMARES
“I like buying an unhealthy amount of McDonald’s, parking my car somewhere secluded, and eating it all while watching an episode of Kitchen Nightmares on my phone that I’ve seen a dozen times before.
Especially now that I’m a stay-at-home dad to two baby girls, the rare time I can get that half hour of deep-fried privacy is like a beautiful vacation.”
FANFICTION
“Fanfiction. When I run out of official content, I need to scratch the itch. I love seeing the variety in writers; you either get an author who lovingly crafts their story and puts all their passion into writing it to ensure the characters stay true to themselves, or you get the author who takes wild ideas and puts them to paper.
Where else could you read a story about Hermione saving Ron during 9/11? JK Rowling doesn’t have the guts to do it.”
VIDEOS OF MEN GETTING HAIRCUTS
“Videos of men getting haircuts. It is the only thing that gives me an ASMR (Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response) feeling, like nothing else.”
HAWAIIAN PIZZA
“Hawaiian pizza. I was a hater at first, but I’ve tried for the first time, and I’ve changed my mind.”
HAPPY FOOD DANCE
“I love going all out on takeaway and eating it in my car once a month or so; I just vibe with music and do my happy food dance.”
HEARING GOSSIPS
“Hearing Gossip, especially if it’s someone I don’t like or am not close to. But I’ll never say it because I don’t like talking bad about other people, and I don’t like associating with people who do it because, generally, they are not good people. It’s so ironic, but everyone loves some good tea.”
