Awful Things Everyone Knows But Will Never Admit

By Editorial Staff in Funny On 24th January 2017

There are certain things about life that we all no to be true, but why does no one talk about them? Whether it’s the fact you just say an ugly baby, but told the parents how cute it was, or you have to pretend to be happy for your friend who got a raise you wanted, certain truths are just taboo to admit. Well, we are about to get real, because these are awful things everyone knows but no one will admit.

#1 We're Afraid To Admit Some Things

We live in a world made of lies. We like to pretend that everything we do or say has to be happy or positive. But there are certain truths about life that are just too taboo to admit, in public. Because you're too afraid to say what you really think or feel, we found some awful things that we know you're just dying to say out loud someday.

#2 Some Babies Are Ugly

Scrolling through Facebook, it's pretty hard not to see all those posts from happy couples or new moms boasting about how beautiful their new babies are. The love showing them off, and some, most, are gorgeous. But admit it, not all of them are pretty.

#3 Now That's A Baby

Sometimes there are babies that just haven't grown into their looks yet. Maybe they never will. Be real, not everyone is beautiful. Yet, we're supposed to comment and say things like "aww, so cute." or "what a gorgeous little girl!" It gets hard when it's obvious to everyone that the little bundle of joy is a little scary looking. When asked to look at someone's newborn, play it safe and just say "Now that's a baby!"

#4 Looks Actually Do Matter

As much as we deny it, we live in an image-driven society. Look at the rise of Instagram and YouTube models and stars, and you'll notice that looks actually do count. People are literally cashing in on their good looks without having an ounce of personality. The problem is that society is rewarding them and proving that looks really do matter at the end of the day.

#5 Other People Doing Better Really Sucks

It may appear to you that the rest of the world is always hitting certain milestones while you are stuck in the same old rut. So fess up, it can make you a little angry to see others doing better than you are. Whether it's someone your age making 10 times the income or a close friend meeting Mr. Right and getting engaged, sometimes others doing well in life just sucks.

#6 Parents Do Have A Favorite Child

No parent will ever admit it, but they do have a favorite child. They'll say things like "I love them all the same" but that's impossible. The favorite is that one who has the good grades, is the over achiever, or just makes parenting easier. If you don't think this is happening in your family, then you might not be the favorite child.

#7 Social Media Is A Waste Of Valuable Time

This won't come as a surprise, but the rise of social media and the internet technology has created a vacuum when it comes to daily productivity. Unless you're actually making money from social media, you may be wasting your life away. Put the phone away already and do something productive. Admit it, you know this is true but you just don't want to stop reading this article.

#8 We're Afraid Of Strangers

There's a reason why parents tell their children to stay away from strangers. They can be scary. And that fact doesn't change as we become adults. Some people are weird. Though we are taught to be polite and smile and greet everyone equally, sometimes it's a bit intimidating when the person you're shaking hands with gives you the creeps.

#9 Raising Kids Can Be A Nightmare

From explosive bodily functions to draining your bank account and ruining your social game, having children is a nightmare. Now this one will be hard for some to admit, but you know what we're talking about. You're supposed to say it's the best thing that ever happened to you, and yes, you probably love the crap out of you child, but it's not all fun and games. Some couples actually end up divorcing because the strain of raising a kid is too much to handle.

#10 You Are Boring In Real Life

By looking at your social media feeds, it may seem like everyone around you is having this amazing and interesting life. But the fact is, everyone is sitting at their desk or laying around in their bed scrolling through newsfeeds just like you are. Honestly, we are all pretty boring in real life, despite how many times that happy friend shows them logged in at different nightclubs or restaurants. If you posted the truth about your boring life then there wouldn't be anything fun to do online.

#11 Someone Else Is Having A Worse day

You spilled your hot coffee on your white pants, or you dropped your iPhone and cracked the screen. How will you ever survive? It seems like nothing ever goes your way. Well, there are people who starving around the world, in a life threatening circumstance, or severely ill, which means there is someone having a worse day than you are. Why is that always so hard to remember?

#12 Attractive People Have Better Lives

We say that attractive people are probably shallow, stupid, or have no personality and will never have anything else in life. But, we all know that's not the case. It's been scientifically proven that attractive people live better lives and have longer lives than others. The fact is, they are more likely to be hired and have better salaries than someone less as attractive and people are more apt to do things to give them a hand up than someone who is homely. It sucks that looks matter at all, but it's worse when we know how much easier attractive people have it.
