What is something that everyone can relate to?

Have you ever felt like you are the only one?! Most likely that isn’t true. What are some of the things that everyone relates to?
Maybe it’s the awkward moment when walking past someone and wondering if you should make eye contact or not. Or perhaps it’s the feeling of finally picking that massive booger that’s been bothering you in the middle of a meeting. Just when you think no one was looking, you notice your coworker giving you the stink eye.

Regardless of how many times I’ve written the word I still spell out Wednesday like Wed-nes-day in my head when writing it.4

I premeditate conversations in my head so I can be ready if I am ever faced with conflict or an awkward situation.4

I sometimes wonder if I should hold a door for some people, or offer to carry stuff for them, but at the same time I don't want to offend them, like I'm implying they can't do whatever task by themselves.1

I can't help but to look into peoples windows when I'm out for a walk at night...from the sidewalk, I'm not that creepy!

I’ve never really thought about it this way. I just always figured it was common decency to do so, but that’s a valid point. Except when someone is clearly having trouble opening a door. I dislike when I see people walk inside a building or room ahead of someone who is obviously struggling to open the door, without even looking back. I see that happen a lot with the handicapped and elderly unfortunately.1 -
Pain. Sadness. Everyone has some of that.
When I was a kid and some *kitten* (because kids often are *kitten*) was being mean, I sometimes reminded myself that even s/he cried about something. It helped me sometimes to think of that - sometimes in a mean way and sometimes compassionately.5 -

Excellent point!
This reminds me of some of the best advice I've ever had. It came from a 14 year old girl when a client was being an *kitten* to me, she said "it's not about you". I think this every time someone is a jerk to me now, who knows what's going on in their lives, and if I did nothing wrong, it's not a "me" problem, it's a "them" problem2 -

You tried to explain this to me before and I didn’t understand. I think I get it now.1 -

And I guess I should add, it's not like I don't get offended, or hurt (I do, quite easily), but I try to remember, its not always about me.
Which reminds me, I had someone tell me once that it's my fault if I get hurt feelings about something, because I "chose" to, or it was my interpretation, and it wasn't their intention.
This idea is still a mind *kitten* to me.4 -

You HAVE to do this. What if someone's naked and you missed it because you didn't look

that sounds like something a sociopath would say tbh like saying *kitten* things to you then telling u it’s your fault if you feel bad about it, jmo

or when you’re feeling just fine and like “i know, let’s listen to Jeff Buckley” and accidentally take yourself out
I do the same thing with Chet Baker.

Navigating a cart through target and turning down an aisle to avoid someone blocking your way only to encounter an even bigger glom of people and carts that way so you study the shelf you’re standing next to like you actually intended to turn down that aisle but then you see it’s urinary incontinence products so you execute a five point turn to get back where you came from only to see that someone else is studying the end cap and sheesh target is the friggin worst at making wide enough aisles5

So true.
I was bullied my entire school life. I was bitter about it for ages and wished them ill. Then I learned later in life that the ringleader had a hard home life and I understood their anger as I came from a nice family.3 -
getting up in the middle of the night for the bathroom and stubbing your toe against something in the darkness
alternatively- hitting your shin against the edge of the coffee table2 -

Yep. And doing it repeatedly on the same part of your leg. Last week I did this to my shin twice in the same day...the first time it hurt, the second time it took my breath away, broke the skin and swelled with a big purple bruise

Anybody else ?? Just me ??
a guy i worked with years ago had a huge fly get stuck in his ear canal while he was on the job. he ended up getting sick and passing out from it and crying like a little girl. they had to go in and extract it and if im being honest its been a constant fear of mine ever since3
