Not embarrassing, weird maybe?
I secretly enjoy weird combination of foods (sometimes too exotic)
-
milkshake and broccoli (or any veggie)
-
watermelon and salt
-
tortillas with papaya and whole lot of chilly pepper
I could go on…
Honestly based. Once I have eaten a choco rolls with green onions as a breakfast in HS. Milkshake and broccoli doesn’t sound that bad tbh.
watermelon and salt is one of those things that sounds strange in theory, then you try it and you regret that you could ever think that way
This is not even uncommon. Watermelon with chamoy powder is essentially the same but with some spice added.
milkshake and broccoli (or any veggie)
this one actually disgusted me
I know, still crave this!
I’m happy for you :)
How did you come to like that? When was the first time you tried it?
Are you alternating? Or combining?
Watermelon and salt sounds perfectly sane to me because chemistry.
Tortillas, fruit, and chili doesn’t make sense to me, but I’ve appropriated a ton of foods that “just work” to me so…. I get it nonetheless.

My parents.
My social security number. How embarrassing is yours?
(Please don’t post your actual number, even for the lolz)
You can post your number, Lemmy censors it

Oh awesome hunter2 is my SSN you bunch of hunter2-ing hunter2s - that’s awesome. Technology is the best!
How do you do, fellow memers?
is this real or just a joke and you censored it manually
Do you seriously not know? It’s gotta be among the oldest internet memes…
It’s hard to decide: Certain physical features often associated with beauty are too prominent on me. I have a habit of under-describing my best qualities when asked. And I’m too dang humble for my own good.
Humility is about being right sized. A lot of folks take this idea of humility as needing to lessen oneself for the sake of being “humble” when really we should be representing ourselves clearly and as objectively as possible.
Yeh but then, if a person is genuinely obviously extremely attractive, or clearly has traits like a capacity to lead or influence people, or is objectively wealthy, or is clearly very smart, those are all things that come off as really conceited to the rest of us unless their acknowledgement is very careful. If such a person is too quick or too ready to acknowledge these things about themselves, despite their accuracy, we’re pretty likely to think they’re a dick. It seems like for people who are in some ways exceptional, the appropriate level of humility, wherever it is on the scale, does need to involve at least a little bit of pantomime and false modesty. The right size in such cases will need to be at least a little smaller than they really are, not too much smaller, or it’s interpreted as disingenuous, but not exactly true to scale either.
Yeah I mean, I didn’t say to gloat / flaunt. You can do what I suggested without making others feel small. False modesty is exactly what we are avoiding…genuine modesty is absolutely fine to run alongside my comment about being right sized and is the perfect antitode to the concern you started your post with.
And tbh the right sized thing has less to do with looks / status / wealth and more to do with how we see ourselves when doing a self assessment of character traits.
That’s a wise perspective.
And it feels especially generous as a response to my nonsense. Thanks.
You’re fine, glad you got something out of it. It was told to me by someone who helped me through a pivotal time; happy to pass it on.
You know that scene with the guy on the castle wall in Monty Python and the Holy Grail that farts in your general direction?
Yeah, I giggled.A fellow man of culture
I’ve never learnt to dance
Everything.
I live in Morocco yet I have immense trouble fitting in with Moroccan society. I don’t like the customs, most of the food is pretty mid, our music scene is hot garbage, I’m literally queer (just saying that in front of everyone could get me in prison), everyone is obsessed with football and I’m sick of it, I could go on.
I don’t know if I’m just a rare and strange breed, or if it’s simply a case of “nationality dysphoria”, but I think literally existing in a space like this is embarrassing enough to give me conspiracies to leave. Problem is, there is Moroccan diaspora everywhere, especially in the country I’m interested in (which is Belgium, I just love how wild they are), and locals are sick of us, not to mention… visas, motherf***er. I am basically trapped here, in constant threat of weird looks at best, and literal death at worst. Yeah, this is indeed the most embarrassing thing about me.
Maybe TMI but hygiene. When I’m too sad to clean up then obviously I don’t do it, but when I’m doing really good I get so caught up in my work that I forget to clean up.
Ahh the old depression adhd combo, a classic
Sometimes I still can’t accept losing a game. I’m 23.
You better come to terms with that. I used to play twitch shooters all the time… I now have an essential tremor and in your thirties your reflexes really start to go.
Being in a bad relationship because of money. Noooooooobody understands.
I understand
“Why don’t you just leave?”
I don’t know, because I don’t have any fucking money or help or anywhere to go, and he’d torture me to the ends of the earth if I did?
I spent over $2k on a bike I never wish to ride.
I’ll just suggest to you, get an ebike, then you can hide how unfit you are 😏. Takes all the stress out of hills and some of the stress out of having impatient cars behind you, and keeps the enjoyable parts.
Some of you have a very low threshold for embarrassment.
Maybe that’s what they are truly embarrassed about.
I’m 6’3" and look like I’d rip someone’s throat out for coughing wrong.
I cry really easily when in conflict 😅
No shade, that’s cool. IDGAF what you look like once I know you, and that you are in tune with the emotion of the situation.
Paraphrasing a folk singer I respect here, but “I used to cry when needed, I can’t cry for the life of me anymore as an adult.”
Tears communicate that either I’ve fucked up, or there’s something I legit misunderstood, and I need to take a step back.
In some ways, I envy your ability to do that. Professional me doesn’t scree around, personal me rather wishes I could cry it out once in a while.
I’ve spent a lifetime fixing my inclination to escalate at the first sign of conflict, and…. It’s been brutal. I’m thrilled to mostly be gentle these days, but it still requires work.
You never gave into the BS.
The only thing that I find genuinely embarrassing about myself is NSFW related, and this isn’t an anon account, so, yeah. Big one, though.
Other than that, I’ve just done a lot of particularly embarrassing things that I remember in my sleep that everyone else has probably forgotten about by now. I was immature for a long time. It’s normal.
