Embarrassing things you used to do that you were unaware of

Post Reply New Topic

Mom spanking me at a campsite in front of my dad's friends when I was nine years old. That should have been embarrassing but I didn't get embarrassed.

I masturbated in public and in front of anyone anywhere when I was a toddler.

I thought up until age 11 that the adults related to you were your aunt and uncle so I was calling my cousins Uncle this and Uncle that because they were adults now and I thought the word was "dults" so I was calling them dults when I explained that when you become 'dults', you turn into a aunt or uncle. I didn't know what a aunt and uncle was except an adult being related to you. I feel stupid now whenever I hear this story from my mother because she finds it so hilarious.

They still don't make sense. Taboo still doesn't make any sense. Social faux pas still doesn't make any sense. And politeness isn't trustable. I'm serious after all my time trying to study people, I kept concluding whether I did or did not do something, someone will always complain.

But I'm very particular anything about my nose is doing. Not because people kept telling me to, simply because I had enough with my nose bothering my life.

People are avoidable, ignorable. I can trick them, make them assume wrong by being seemingly predictable.
But this curse of an 'allergy' isn't. It's stuck with me, so people or no people, it bothers me. It impedes my functioning, makes ASD negative traits worse, I cannot hide with it whenever I want or have to, and who knows what issues I ended up by not checking up for years. I still try to find a way for a day I'll stop sneezing and randomly dripping all over the place.

My thing was to chew on the ends of pencils and pens. In school I sometimes had marks on my face from the pencil lead. Still prone to doing it which is why I use metal pens that I can't chew.

I would never fart in class, that I knew would be embarrassing. If someone did fart, the whole class would laugh.

How do you not fart in class? When it comes it comes, you have no control over it. Expecting someone to not fart is like expecting someone to not sneeze or cough or belch. Those things happen and they sneak up on you. It's also expecting someone to not blink their eyes. These are things beyond our control so I never understood why people call these rude and act like people do it on purpose. I dealt with all that as a kid. How do you stop all these things?

I would actually take off random articles of clothing or my shoes off in public when I was a toddler. I'm humiliated just thinking about it now

By clenching that part. You never did so? I did from pretty early age in school etc. That just came natural to me. I did my best to keep in sneezes, coughs and burps too when in company.
I never liked being around those who didn't. I thought most people felt that way.

Well, I could always feel when I wanted to fart, and holding it in was possible, unlike coughing. I didn't fart much as a kid (I don't fart that much now either) so it wasn't that difficult to control myself. I could hold in poop so why not farts?

Remember, social rules are complex. Farting out loud in public is considered inappropriate, while sneezing and coughing is not. A bit like blowing your nose in public is appropriate but cleaning your ear isn't (from what I've learnt). Or scratching your bum or genital area is inappropriate - and so is scratching your head, apparently.

I still clinched my butt hole but the farts still came out but they just silenced the farts and no one would know I had farted. I could just pretend I didn't do it and play dumb about the smell. It was called survival because the other kids would get mad at me and give me a hard time about it like I had control over it.

I had other issues where things would get uncomfortable on my body and I had to scratch or otherwise I would be spending lot of my time in the bathroom and be chained to the bathroom and disrupt class by leaving and miss lot of stuff because I spent all my time leaving the class just to scratch in the bathroom.

I must have had some hidden medical issue here and no one noticed.

But because I thought this was normal, I never said anything about it and when I would explain it to explain my behavior, no one batted an eye. I just figured everyone ignored the feeling but for me it was a distraction or a distress so another thing I noticed different about me. To me everyone was strange for getting mad at other people for something natural that no one has control over. I never got mad at anyone for those things nor judged them for it because it's part of human nature and those things happen.

I used to do what my mom called," playing with my fingers" which almost sounds sexual though it's not.
It's hard to explain why I did rather, seeing images of things playing out in my mind where I would use my hands to somehow illustrate those actions if that makes sense?

Some people are just more windy than others. I am also one of the windier ones. It can be embarrassing, you try and hold it in as much as possible, but often it just slips out anyway.

I don't have a farting problem anymore. I grew out of it around middle school and I got less gassy. I don't fart often anymore. Only time I do is when I am actually sick when I have gas in my stomach and that time it's stuck inside me unless I push it out. I can actually control it now but couldn't when I was a kid.

My dad on the other hand was a farter when I was little and they always stunk. He used to say "Excuse me, I should put a cork in it" and my mom said he was inappropriate and called that crude what he said. Now he is less gassy and doesn't fart much anymore.

I use to poke girls in the butt to try and play with them. I got reported and almost kicked out of the school when I did this in 2nd-4th grade. Also, I use to copy people but really poorly. I use to like peoples actions then I would mimic them and now when I think back, it looked pretty bad. I also use to fart in class. I ALSO had a HUGE habit of exploding when bullied, like truly exploding.

I'm probably still doing them and still unaware of it.

I called a girl too much in 6th grade and I always called and would hang up because no one was answering so I would try again a few minutes later or a minute later hoping they had walked in the door and still no answer so I hung up. Looking back I realized how bad that looked and I had learned that people purposely don't answer their phones so if that is what that family was doing, it really looked bad and no wonder they blocked my number.

lol probably picking my nose...sometimes it just wont all come out in tissues. I was aware of doing it but didn't see why it would be something you don't want others to see.

I still do it sometimes if no ones looking...

never ate the boogers though, I mean I have heard if you do it can help your immunity...but still ewww.
