15 People Come Clean About Their Socially Unacceptable Habits
Yesterday, Reddit user U/HisMajesticDickens asked the AskReddit community: "What is one socially unacceptable fact about yourself?" The thread quickly went viral as thousands of people shared what habits/traits qualify them as being socially unacceptable. As a a society, we are always under pressure to do the right thing and act the right way. Social media has made it even harder to be your weird/quirky self because we are constantly afraid of being judged. These brutally honest facts range from picking noses uncontrollably to being an adult man who still plays with action figures. We all have our things. Why should we be embarrassed by habits? Everything is a social construct. Why should a man feel awkward about playing with dolls/action figures? It makes him happy and it harms no one. Losing childlike wonder is a sad part of growing up. Hold onto it as long as you can. Sure picking noses can be gross to watch, so just do it in the privacy of your own home. Keep reading to see what other people willingly shared about their socially unacceptable habits.

"I've always struggled with sweaty hands and feet since I was a child. In formal settings I enjoy the option of wearing opera gloves. People think I'm being fancy. Nah bra, I just don't want to keep wiping my hands on my dress."
Sweaty hands can feel like a debilitating thing. Shaking hands as a sign of respect is a very outdated ritual. People judge you on the strength of the shake and the dryness of the palm. We should really make the elbow bump a required greeting from now on.

"I don't talk to anyone other than close relatives...Not even friends."
Talking to people feels terrifying if you are shy. Social anxiety cripples many. It's hard to read a room or even one person directly across from you. If you get too much into your head trying to figure out what's in another's persons head, you can get stuck in a downward spiral. We truly feel for people who feel awkward talking. But you are not alone.

"I daydream wayyyy to much. I'm constantly day dreaming. At home, at work, while I'm driving, before I'm sleeping, while I'm eating. I'm always daydreaming."
Daydreaming is the perfect escape from your current reality. It's not productive to stay in a day dream for too long, but you should allow yourself the freedom to mind-wander sometimes. It can bring some clarity into your real life problems.

"I am faking everything. Literally. I could not care less about anything. But I fake it all."
They say 'fake it until you make it.' We firmly believe in this in some scenarios. Like when you have a BS paper to write. But we think that mantra can only get you so far in life. If you are faking every aspect of your life, you will lose your sense of self. Life is richer with real friends, real memories and real happiness.

"I have never been in an emotionally deep and mutually trusting relationship. I want to be but I've never met someone who felt the same way. I'm very introverted and one poor relationship experience left me reeling for the better part of a decade."

I am a grown man who likes to play with action figures and yes I do make the noises to pretend they’re fighting. It’s my hobby, it relaxes me and yet I rarely tell people because they look at me like I’m a child. Why should we loose our sense of wonder?"
