We’ve all had those “Who even actually really likes this?”
And recently, I came across aReddit postthat dealt with just that.
In it, userquestioninghomsasked: “What are you convinced people are just pretending to enjoy?”
The thread got thousands of responses.
Below are the top, best, and most-often repeated things people believe nobodyactuallylikes:

“LinkedIn”

“Family Christmas/Thanksgiving gatherings.
I am fortunate to have a wonderful family with no embarrassing relatives.
“A lot of mobile games and multiplayer games.
Specifically, that people have convinced themselves theyre enjoying it when really its just become a habit.

I’m not excluding myself here.
