You have probably seen a person change their mind about disliking something the second they hear their friend, for instance, say that they love it. Or witnessed someone push through what looks like torture to them, all the while trying to squeeze out a sincere (-looking) smile.

For one reason or another, some people choose to pretend to like something when they actually don’t. And similarly to said reasons, the things they pretend to like tend to differ from person to person. Members of the ‘Ask Reddit’ community recently discussed what things they believe others lie about liking, and there were quite a few things they pointed their fingers at. Scroll down to find them on the list below and feel free to upvote the ones you agree with the most.

For real. The forced positivity and "we're so happy to be part of the *random brand* family. The endless, pointless presentations and HR talk." Celebrating company values" while underpaying your employees and laying off people without replacing them. But please remind us how we can do more to fill your pockets faster in the future, boss.

    Recreational noisemakers aren’t like other people. They have the capacity to ignore even deafening noise, so they think everybody else just wants to spoil the fun. Also, they’re self-absorbed àßhole who enjoy making other people’s lives less pleasant.

    50 People Share Things They Don’t Believe Anyone Genuinely Likes Keeping Up With the Kardashians. Watched it with my college roommates a couple of times and I was just like “I don’t get it” the entire time. I am really big into makeup and I found two of Kylie’s lip kits very discounted (ten dollars a piece when they were normally going for thirty dollars a piece) and I really didn’t get the appeal. I saw a conspiracy theory on a different subreddit saying that Kylie’s makeup line is a money laundering scheme at this point and that is something that I could actually get behind!

    50 People Share Things They Don’t Believe Anyone Genuinely Likes Poly relationships.

    thrilliam_19:

    I have several friends who all tried poly relationships at some point in their life and every single one ended in disaster, and whenever they were all together in the same room at least one person looked like they were miserable and pretending to be ok with what was going on.
    Someone always got jealous or someone cheated. Or it was an excuse for 3-4 people to fuck each other for a few months until someone got bored and the people that were actually into it got hurt.
    I’m not saying it can’t work, but I have seen zero evidence that it does. I also feel like long-term monogamous relationships are hard, why would adding another person into that relationship make things better or easier?

    I hung out with red hot pie people back when that was a thing in 2007-10 - I wasn’t a swinger my bff was their poster girl and she wanted me there to look out for her etc, I went to party and look after her. NONE of the swingers or poly people are together now, none of them and I’m pretty sure the red hot pie owners are divorced AF, which what do you expect and how do you think a 17 girl was going to make your married relationship stronger? They are deluded at the time and will validate as much as they can, but fast forward a decade or so and it’s evident

    Disagree with this one. Different types of chili peppers and sauces have completly different flavors. My partner loves ultra hot stuff and over the years my heat tolerance has improved where i can handle pretty darn hot too and there is a flavor in there that is more than just burning heat but I think you have to eat spicy frequently to really get your taste buds there.

I let it go until it was in the middle of my chest, and couldn't stand it any more. I wasn't a fan of it blowing up into my face when it was windy.

    I like black licorice, but not cilantro. I think you're right and it's genetic

    I like the genetic hypothesis. There's different kinds of black licorice, and I only like some.

    On that I disagree. I've liked it even as a kid. Of course, as a family we could rarely afford treats like candy or take out. So I got my first taste with gramma's licorice allsorts. So good. From then I would always choose black licorice over the sickly red stuff. I even liked the black licorice pipes.

    I love licorice but recently heard it is very bad for a person's health, lowering potassium levels which can affect the heart.

    I like black licorice on occasion, but wouldn't have it regularly. The sweetness of the licorice overpowers the anise flavor, which is the part that I can't stand when it's used in other foods.

    Black licorice is indispensable to me. All kinds except those flavored with pepper or mint. I sometimes damned near start crying from sheer longing if I don't have any black licorice at hand. I'm an extreme case, but pretty much all of my fellow Danes like or love it as well. I think it's a cultural thing.

    It's toxic! It contains glycyrrhizic acid, which can cause swelling and high blood pressure and deplete potassium and other electrolytes that may cause a cardiac arrhythmia or arrest, a condition called pseudohyperaldosteronism, which can be triggered by eating licorice daily for as little as TWO weeks.

    There is a reason for that....India Pale Ale was used as ballast for the trade ships going to India and then sold on to the British running the colony. It is very heavily hopped to stop it going bad on the journey.

    I think many people in Germany, Russia etc would disagree. Kale can be delicious. Especially since it's changed it's flavour the last decades (in my childhood they were all with more sulfate taste. They did this away. Today I can even eat Brussel sprouts because they now tastes better)

    So, Gin and Tonic exists for a reason. The Gin is to make the Tonic bearable. The Tonic is to keep your case of Malaria in remission, so it doesn’t kill you.

    50 People Share Things They Don’t Believe Anyone Genuinely Likes Honestly, alcohol. Drinking for enjoyment is something I cannot comprehend. Never have I ever drank some alcohol and genuinely enjoyed the taste of it. Cider was close, but I might as well just drink a fizzy drink then.

    Sure, some/most might drink to get drunk, but that too gets boring after a certain age and after a while it comes at the cost of a hangover.
