29 Popular Things That Everyone Pretends To Enjoy, As Shared By People In This Online Group

They're like Greek gods. They only have the power the rest of us give them. Who's watching everything they do and liking and subscribing and whatever? We are. They wouldn't be doing it if there weren't thousands or millions of people hanging on their every word.

Indeed! Especially for people with hearing problems.

can't upvote enough

I thought that until Covid started. There is no way all these protesters and anti-vaxxers are just being obstinate. Not when their own health is on the line. I think these people really are that stupid

Anonymity. That's the problem.Online, You can yell at people without getting slapped.

I f*****g hate these. Absolutely hate them. It's about as tacky as you can get.

Hustle culture is for entrepreneurs. If you’re just a worker, it doesn’t apply at all to you. If you’re an entrepreneur, there’s really no other way to go about things than this “hustle culture” way. Unless you just suck at making money. I lost my life / identity to running my own business. For now anyway. Once the Ms stack up a little more I’ll get out and just be a normal person again. It’s worth it. Hustle culture isn’t a lifelong thing.

I don't pretend to 'hate' (a very strong word) Nickelback, I just think their music is utterly crap. Other people might think the same about music I like...

I actually did love being pregnant. I didn't feel sick, I felt powerful. I didn't get fat til later. I didn't love labor, of course, but I loved making a new person and what my body could do. I did it in my early 20's though, so it was much easier, I imagine, than for people who waited til they were 40+. I have four kids, and I really did feel beautiful.

Pregnancy is so different for different women. For me, it was something I wanted very badly. After 15 years of trying, and three miscarriages, I became pregnant for the fourth time. It was the absolute best nine months of my life, and I'm so grateful I got to have the experience.

Being pregnant isn't being fat and every woman has their own experiences. They need a lot of support and encourage that should come from their partners, because it does help a heap. Post-pregnancy is when you really feel like you've been hit by a semi. All that loose skin, everything is sagging, your skin has brown, dried patches, your periods are making up for the missed 9 months right after for weeks, you feel weak like spaghetti, and your now sleep deprived with waning mental strength.

I absolutely hated being pregnant ! Love my babies but I hated squeezing those watermelons out of this lemon!

I really did love being pregnant. I had an easy experience and only gained 30 lb. No stretch marks. Tons of energy. Sorry 😐

There are some perks of being pregnant, like not having to suck your tummy in to look nice. Or feeling the baby kick.

Must reply here. For the nine months of a much-wanted pregnancy I was happy, full of energy and emotionally strong. I feel for women who have difficult pregnancies. But it's certainly not true for everyone. (33 hours in labor, however, is another story...)

I actually loved being pregnant except the last 2 weeks of discomfort. I carried two babies for my second cousin with fertility problems as well as my own 3. I was only nauseated in morning for a month or two, never all day or the whole time. Gained between 20-80 lbs with each, lost it afterward. I think i was one of those weird women who was serotonin high the whole time. Id gladly do it again for someone else but definitely don't want to mom anymore. I do think social media has both glorified and vilified it though...it used to be a solo journey and tbh was easier that way

And yet, I loved being pregnant, because I loved feeling life growing inside me. And no amount of getting fat and sore nipples can beat that.

Pregnancy for me was wonderful. I am incredibly lucky in that I didn't put on huge amounts of weight, no sickness, no swelling or high blood pressure. I am fair skinned so I have no visible stretch marks. Read back the beginning of this post. It was LUCK.

I genuinely lived being pregnant. But never felt the need to scream it at the world, or whisper it to a stranger. It was my personal heaven and only said "yes" when asked if I liked it.

I agree, but there is the fact that I exist because my mother was pregnant.

I love my kids but HATED being pregnant.

Not downplaying the discomfort, but in this context your body is doing this amazing work of growing a beautiful baby inside you.

I actually genuinely enjoyed being pregnant - for the most part. Is it uncomfortable at times? Sure. But it was such a unique feeling. Feeling a baby move inside you is indescribable. I honestly didn't think I'd like it, but I savored every moment, even when I was puking. And BTW, you don't "get fat" when you have a baby, you gain weight because you're growing a human.

There's a lot of women addicted to the hormones product of the pregnancy.

I enjoyed being pregnant

I really do think everyone's experience is individual and we need to respect each other in this. Including those that love it.

I know a lot of mothers but I have yet to hear any one of them saying they loved the pregnancy, including myself, and I had it easier than most.

My sister loved to be pregnant. She got so much attention. Didn't give a damn about being a good mother though. Half of her kids are screwed up or dead. She od'd too, cuz drugs are better than facing your responsibility.

I literally felt like I had a raging hangover for 9 months. To the point where I’d wake up in the morning, and in those few seconds before I remembered I was enormously knocked up, my first thought would be what the f**k did I do to myself last night?

Pregnancy is hard work...so rough on the body in all ways!

Pregnancy has been uneventful asides from acid reflux for me. The only thing I really enjoyed was not menstruating for 9 months.

I hated being pregnant, not that it wasn't worth it, but being sick for so long... Ugh!!

I actually fo feel beautiful when my belly is so big and round for a good reason while the rest of my life it's just bigger than should be.

Also the outcome is that your life becomes exponentially worse. I could see going through all that for like $600,000 at the end rather than a fûcked up body and an annoying baby to deal with.

Nerp. Not feeling this one. Managing client expectations is essential to make sure that there are no miscommunications, and to reduce unhappy customers. Until recently I sold glasses, and had a coworker always tell customers they would be ready in "a few days". Our policy was to book pick up appointments while they were ordering, but this co-worker never did this (or would just randomly schedule them in without actually asking them). This meant we constantly had unhappy customers because their idea of "a few days" was very different from this co-worker's. Also, circling back is just a shorthand for saying "we're clearly not getting anywhere on this right now, let's move on to something else and come back to it later"

That show was like a car crash and you were not able to look away anymore.

I think this needs to be corrected to "Church on Sunday for people who don't really want to be there". There are many that feel very fulfilled including this in their life. The people that only go because they are "supposed to" or have been thought they should, yeah, I don't get why they go. Do what makes you happy! If that's church, great! If it isn't...don't do it.

Waking up

I must be lucky because I like my colleagues and we have great parties...all 400+ of us!

Every single astrological sign is off by a month. We've moved through space in the 2000 years since that crap was created. This sends people who believed it in the 60s/70s into a headspin.

This must be a thing for masochists - what other reason could there be for asking strangers to insult you?

This. I'm just grateful I have it because I can't move to another country right now so

I miss the office. I miss the people. It just isn't the same not being able to take a minute away from my desk to walk down to see someone and shoot the breeze for a few minutes.

The show has a fun concert, but it's so overproduced I can't watch it.

It you're not a golfer it's like watching paint dry.

Convenient for local community stuff and being able to log into my oculus quest. The trick is to just ignore all the useless random groups they keep trying to push on people.

Hey great surgery. Let me get you a yarn wig and you can be a muppet.

Actually, im convinced a lot of people are just pretending to like their own blood relatives, including immediate family.

This cuts both ways, I'm afraid, and is probably the reason why so many people are anti-gay. They must think exactly like this guy but in reverse...

I have the tastebuds of a 4 year old - all alcohol tastes disgusting to me - with whiskey being the worst I've tasted. I rarely drink, but when I do, it's a mixed drink with a ton of sugar in it. Circumstances (other people) have brought me to Jameson in Dublin and Highland Park on the Orkney Islands where I have been offered trays of different vintages and types of whiskey. Completely wasted on me. As was the port wine cellar in Porto. I don't know why people bring me to these things.

I'll do small talk, big talk or no talk - I don't mind.

Children's art is only ever amazing if it's your children who made it.

It's probably weird for a 56yo white woman, but I actually like quite a bit of rap (Ice Cube, Eminem, Kendrick Lamar, et alia). For me, the entire point of rap is the lyrics, the social commentary, the varying rhyme schemes and rhythmic way of speaking the lyrics. Mumble rap seems to be the anti-rap.

Everybody should be able to make fun of everything.
