“Golf”: 30 People Share Things They Don’t Believe Anyone Genuinely Likes, They Just Pretend To
Interview
In some situations one might feel like there’s no other option but to lie; for example, when your mother-in-law serves her famous stew you don’t like that much, but say how much you enjoy it every time nevertheless. (As a matter of fact, people reportedly tell an average of 1.08 lies per day.)
However, sometimes, the white lie is completely uncalled for or unnecessary, especially when a person tries to prove just how much they enjoy an activity, even if they don’t (and there’s no mother-in-law to impress). People on Reddit recently discussed such situations after one of them asked netizens what activities many people only pretend to like. Reddit users covered all sorts of scenarios, from talking about kids to social media use, so if you’re curious about what else was there, wait no longer and scroll down to find out.
Below you will find not only the netizens’ answers but thoughts shared by the OP themselves as well as by the Professor of the Public Understanding of Psychology at the University of Hertfordshire, Richard Wiseman, who was kind enough to answer a few of Bored Panda’s questions about why people pretend to like certain things.

Happy birthday song at a restaurant.
Firstname Lastname 1 year ago
Didn't even need to say "at a restaurant," I'll just straight up pass. The only time I ever wanted to hear it was the first birthday after Grandma passed and that was because she used to call every year to sing to me over the phone.

I don't mind at home with just family/friends. In a restaurant absolutely not. For kids, sure, for adults who like it go for it. For me, I'll get up and leave if I pre-tell you not to do this and you do it anyway.
Ru Bee 1 year ago
My family have stopped this every since I brought it up. We all hate it as both the birthday person and the singers. ..so we just don't anymore.
Featherytoad 1 year ago
It's just uncomfortable all the way around, and I don't like being the center of attention. Maybe it's uncomfortable to sing to someone because you know they are uncomfortable.

When I was a kid and people (not my immediate family, they knew better) did this I would hide under the table and cry till the singing stopped and the staff went away. Let's just say that my anxiety issues started very young unfortunately...I also feel horrible for the poor staff who have to do this multiple times a day sometimes every day... forever. A special kind of job torture,lol.

Networking, once in a role, however, is very helpful, particularly if you are needing to contact a specific team or department on a regular basis. I have go-to people for almost every department I interact with regularly. They are all lovely people and volunteered to be the go-to for me. This is from billing people, through to managers. I could not survive without them :)

Networking is as much about which jobs you DON'T want than jobs you want. Networking not only tells you which jobs are hiring, what they really want, and whether the place is a toxic hellhole. But go ahead, feel free to choose a job based on a 30 minute interaction with some HR person and maybe somebody from mid-management.

Watching NASCAR. I don't know how anyone can sit there and watch those cars go around and around for hours.
Zara VP 1 year ago
NASCAR is actually very enjoyable to watch- if you know how it works and what is going on. If you are unaware of the rules and technical aspect (high speed driving, pit stops and everything else) then I can see how it appears boring. I felt that same way until I learned.
AnkleByter 1 year ago
I have been watching, at least on and off, since I was a kid. I'm still learning a lot of the things others already know, but I've always enjoyed watching it. I can't stand the people who say "it's just a bunch of left turns" or "it's just driving in a circle for hours". Dude...no. It's okay to not like it, or not like certain aspects of it, but it's most definitely far more than just that. That's like reducing basketball to just playing with a ball for hours, or baseball, just standing in a field for hours hoping a ball will come your way. Motorsports have just as much strategy and skill as any other type, people just don't want to admit it.

They paid for us to "camp" there and provided the RV for the whole weekend. Don't take your kids to turn 3 there is all I can say
Zara VP 1 year ago (edited)
Tell me your ignorant without telling me your ignorant. Maybe do some research? The arm and leg strength alone needed to race for hours at tops speed is beyond impressive. The internal car temps can reach anywhere between 100-140 Fahrenheit. You have to be very competent in order to know how the car works under different circumstances, weather, and track conditions. There is SO MUCH that goes into racing/ NASCAR and that is not even scratching the surface.

I do enjoy NASCAR - let's say more I DID. I think NASCAR was at its height during the Richard Petty to Dale Earnhardt Sr. period. Watched it regularly when Dale was racing - pretty much stopped though when he died. Watched a few races since, somehow it changed - but not to my liking. But I thought it's more fun than what is the F1 (which became constantly more boring the past few years).

After all my drinkin' buddies started dying off, it just wasn't the same after.
Discussing the reasons why people pretend they like something in front of others, Dr. Richard Wiseman, Professor of the Public Understanding of Psychology at the University of Hertfordshire, compared everyday life to going to the theater: “Offstage the actors have a certain personality and onstage they pretend to be someone else. In everyday life, there is the way that we really think and feel, and the image that we give to other people.
“We often do this in order to give the impression that we are especially tolerant, or cultured, or happy, and so on. In social psychology this is sometimes referred to as impression management, and nearly everyone does it most of the time as a way of connecting with others and projecting a certain identity.”

Only the modern day version, but some form of gathering & giving needed items or gifts to expectant mothers has been around since ancient Egypt. The original "American" concept was started as a way to gather and help mothers collect needed items during the baby boom era. Proms are also a spin- off of the debutant ball, which also did not get it's beginnings in the US.TBS, yes the commercialization of these events is a US thing, but they did not invent them.

Social networking.
While in some people’s eyes pretending to like something you actually don’t is equal to lying, Dr. Wiseman suggested that it could be considered more of a part of the human psyche than lying. “I guess that some people are more honest and have a more ’take it or leave it’ approach, and others are more concerned about making a good impression.
“There might be lots of psychological factors at play,” he continued. “For instance, the former group might be happy to have a small group of friends that value their authentic self, whilst the latter group might want to know lots more people and so are more motivated to project a sense of self that appeals to more people.”

Disney Cruses are for the kids, not the adults. It's like going to Disney World. We took our kids on a Disney Cruise a few years ago and I think you'd have to be crazy to not enjoy yourself. You have to know what you are going into, like you said, you are not getting to spend a lot of time in one place and really get to know the culture, but if that is what you are looking for, then just take a vacation to that place. I don't know why you would be on a Disney Cruise if that is what you are looking for. Both ways of doing things have their place.

I do enjoy a cruise once in a while. Depending on ship and cruise line there's more space than it seems. Every ship has busy and also quiet corners, if you seek some peace. And I just can enjoy some meals and a few glasses without worrying about how to get home. There's music and entertainment of all sorts. Time in ports is limited, we mostly use it to grab some nice local lunch. I do not have a car and use public transport only, so I'm ok with doing a cruise sometimes.

I don't know, I've loved the cruises that I have been on. It's basically the same as an all inclusive resort, but it moves and you actually get to go places. We went on our honeymoon years ago to the Mediterranean. Saw Venice Itally, Dubrovnick Croatia, Korfu and Athens Greece, Izmir Turkey and Crete all in one week. What is not to like?
In Dr. Wiseman’s opinion, pretending to like something you don’t can be both detrimental and beneficial, as it all depends on the context. “In general, I think it is good for people to take into account the concerns and thoughts of others, and to find ways of connecting with those people. That is going to require some flexibility in terms of how you project yourself. However, if that becomes too extreme then it will be difficult for people to develop deeper, and more lasting, relationships because these won’t be built on a sense of authenticity,” he said.

Not a specific tree, but some beverages, based on natural ingredients, no added sugar, flavours and low-key processing do offer a wide range of tastes.

Exercising is one of those things that doesn't start to feel good until you get stronger. When you start, you'll hate life, not gonna lie. After a while it will start to feel good, and energizing. You'll start to notice that you're sleeping better. You'll also not be as exhausted during/at the end of the day because every daily task you normally do takes less effort because you're stronger.

Saaaame! I never got used to it and it only made my chronic pain so much worse. I would do about 20-30 min cardio and 20 min on weights. Went 3-4 days a week for the better part of a year. Did this many times over the years. Didn't lose a single pound despite eating healthier too. I even had help from trainers at the gym...I'd pay for a session or two....still didn't help. And the pain. OMG it got so much worse.

My dad was in the Shriners, a Masonic organization. His group marched and played a short concert after the parade for approximately $250 donated to the Shriner's hospital fund. The hospitals treated children with burns and physical birth defects/conditions, free of charge. Most of the parades had three to five Shrine groups. The men bought all their costumes and gear, and donated their time.

There was a study done on actual wine experts where they gave them the same white wine twice, but one time dyed to look red instead of white.

I'm no sommelier. But I do enjoy wine. While some bottles in the range of 300-800$ are definitely overpriced imo, there still is quite a difference between a cheap bottle and a more refined wine. Depending on the occasion I do enjoy a bottle costing 10-20$, there are some good wines in the price range. But there definitely is a difference if you're willing to spend 50$ and above. Of course, there are some bargains to find and not every higher priced wine is excellent. But there definitely is a difference.

They need to learn how to make it on their own. I said per se because letting go is hard. They will have struggle you absolutely know how to solve in some fashion.

My mother-in-law was a sweetheart, but I would have shown up just for her cooking.

I wouldn't mind having them for dinner every day. I love my in-laws. One of the best things about knowing and getting married with my wife is all the great people in her family that are also my family now.

Veganism.
BewilderedBanana 1 year ago
I'm not vegan myself, but i've met two kinds of vegans. The ones who made the decision to stop eating animal-derived foods for health/ethics or whatever other reason, genuinely experiment with it and come up with amazing recipes and ideas. Then there are the other ones who just jumped on a trend and are more concerned about guilting anyone who sniffs a bacon-flavoured potato chip and preaching their new-found ideals. From my experience, the former group really enjoy being vegan and are fun to be around. The second group give the first group a bad name :)

I can agree with you on this one. I'm vegan and I've done some meetup groups for vegans. Some of them have zero clue about nutrition and are crazy judgemental. One gave me stink eye, started talking with her group. Later one from the group came over and told me I shouldn't be carrying a leather bag. Bish, this ain't leather. *Anyway.....*

I think the same applies for a vegan diet as for others- there is great food and lousy food and everything in between, it’s about whether someone knows what ingredients to combine and whether they can cook or not.

Anytime when something food-related becomes a lifestyle. Vegan recipes can be extraordinary, though. But so can chicken.

One vegan won't stop the production of an entire meat company and won't stop the animals from dying or being prey. It's not that I'm judging you for being vegan, it's just that in this world, it won't do a lot. If it's for you, it's for you. If it's for the animals, sorry, but production won't stop.

Me, I rarely notice or understand what's going on. So I call myself a vaguen.

Travelling to poor and dirty countries? Having to worry about food poisoning every time you eat? Nah thanks.

Whoa! Poor, dirty countries full of poor, dirty people who are too mentally inferior to practice food safety? Mm-hm, cause poor people are famous for letting food spoil or get contaminated, because there's always plenty more available for free. This post is offensive af. I've been to several "poor, dirty" countries and have never had a negative experience with food handling practices. OP needs to get over themself

Different regions have different microbes, the locals are used to them, travellers not so much.

What the actual fudge? 😡 I've found poor countries have more vegan options than "non dirty" countries.

This comment is up there with tRump’s “sh*thole countries”. Appalling. Most people from ‘developed’ countries would have loads to learn from people living in underprivileged countries.. 😡

It's not the "poor and dirty" that is the problem. It's the machine guns and kidnappings.

What do you think ?

So that is mostly a hater list. Is it impossible to understand some people like to do something and you don't ? Some items in this list are like really usual stuff... Running ? Dancing ? Smoking ?

so, really just about everything. These people need to just stay home...alone.

This is not quite the same thing, but I am convinced that no-one over the age of 6 really believes that the Earth is flat. I think flat earthers are looking for attention and just trying to be controversial for the sake of it.

Of course it's flat! Now excuse me while I go knock stuff off the edge.

Here in Australia.. the Superbowl and the Melbourne Cup. Just an excuse to slack off and maybe get on the sauce.

Superbowl? Not even 1% of Australians would watch the superbowl.
