People can hold surprisingly strong beliefs without ever looking for hard proof. Sometimes it is a suspicion about another person, sometimes a theory about everyday life, and sometimes an idea that sounds so strange that even the person sharing it admits they cannot demonstrate that it is true. That was the premise behind a recent AskReddit discussion, where people were asked to reveal something they believe completely despite having no proof. The responses range from harmless personal suspicions to much bigger ideas about society and the world. These are Reddit users’ opinions and theories, and we do not necessarily support or endorse any of them.
Some People Pretend Not to See Someone They Know
One commenter believes that people sometimes recognize someone they know in public but deliberately pretend not to notice them because they do not feel like talking. There is no way to prove what is happening inside someone else’s head, but the behavior can certainly look familiar.
Some People Have Secretly Taken Something From Work
One Reddit user said they believe almost everyone has taken something small from their workplace at some point, whether it was office supplies, food, or something else that technically did not belong to them.
There Are People Who Never Return Their Shopping Carts
A commenter argued that some people deliberately leave their shopping carts in parking spaces because they simply cannot be bothered to return them, even when the cart return is only a short distance away.
Some People Have Imagined Their Own Escape Plan
One person believes that many people have quietly imagined what they would do if they suddenly needed to disappear and start a completely different life, even if they have never seriously intended to do it.
Some Couples Stay Together Mainly Because It Is Easier
One Reddit user believes that plenty of couples who appear happy in public are actually staying together because separating would create financial, social, or practical complications.
Some People Pretend to Understand Things They Do Not Understand
A commenter believes people regularly nod along during conversations, meetings, or explanations even when they have no idea what is being discussed because admitting they are confused feels more embarrassing.
Some People Have Googled Someone While Talking to Them
One user believes that people have secretly searched another person’s name online while interacting with them, especially when they have forgotten who the person is but do not want to admit it.
Some People Have a Completely Different Personality Online
One commenter believes that many people who seem quiet and reserved in everyday life become dramatically more confident, funny, or outspoken when communicating anonymously online.
Some People Secretly Practice Conversations
A Reddit user believes that people frequently rehearse conversations in their heads before having them, including arguments, difficult explanations, and responses to situations that have not even happened yet.
Some People Pretend to Like Certain Things
One commenter believes that people regularly claim to enjoy music, movies, food, or hobbies because admitting they dislike something popular can make them feel out of place.
Some People Have Stayed Friends With Someone They Dislike
A Reddit user believes that plenty of friendships continue long after the people involved have stopped genuinely liking each other because ending the relationship would be awkward or inconvenient.
Some People Have Lied About Why They Were Late
One commenter believes that many supposedly complicated excuses for being late are simply made up on the spot because people do not want to admit they overslept, forgot, or underestimated how long something would take.
Some People Have Read a Message Without Replying Because They Did Not Know What to Say
One Reddit user believes that a surprising number of unanswered messages are not being ignored intentionally. The recipient simply does not know how to respond and keeps postponing the reply.
Some People Quietly Judge What Others Buy
A commenter believes that people pay far more attention to what their friends and coworkers spend money on than they would ever admit, particularly when the purchase seems expensive or unnecessary.
Some People Are Much More Lonely Than They Let On
One Reddit user believes that many people who appear perfectly comfortable being alone are actually lonely but have become very good at hiding it from everyone around them.
