Almost every day we hear about ways to improve our lives, whether in the form of asked or unasked advice, or as an outcome of thinking. But it’s not that simple. Making a decision of whatever kind can be a daunting task for a person who doesn’t like to step out of their comfort zone.

Some people, however, dare to try something new, whether it’s watching Avengers Endgame or moving out of their parents' home thanks to the hype that pushed them forward. “What actually 100% lived up to the hype?” someone wondered on Ask Reddit, and 24.1k upvotes and 10.1k comments later, we have some very interesting and illuminating responses. Turns out, not always are our expectations shattered by reality.

I moved out young - 16. Angry house. Had roommates until probably age of 22. I moved out of a toxic family environment. Good choice- but some of the roommate arrangements I experienced were even more stressful. Had my own place, finally. Never have I experienced such peace and sense of luxury. Was great for a month. Then the dealing with my own mind in the literal liminal spaces started to weigh. Listening to one's own inner voice after decades of not being able to hear it over the cacaphony is...intense. Proud, but aloneness forced me to get hobbies and see humans (the latter, I am not fond of.) I'm introverted but I was always before finding time to decompress. It was a goal. Once I got to completely free the static, found I needed stimulation and to do some serious self care and realization.

    Someone Asks “What Actually 100% Lived Up To The Hype” And People Deliver 45 Genuine Responses Dogs. Every day I walk thru the door home from anywhere and my dog is so pumped and happy to see me that I become happy. If I have a bad day he makes me happier. If I have a good day he makes me happier. They are so pure. We don't deserve them.

    The sense of relief, freedom and having my old self back again cannot be expressed in words.

    I would marry her all over again and divorce her just to experience that feeling again.

    Someone Asks “What Actually 100% Lived Up To The Hype” And People Deliver 45 Genuine Responses Being healthy. It feels so good to feel good. I thought I would hate cutting out soda and junk food because they taste so good and made me happy. But I was so heavy, knee pain, couldn't sleep, miserable most of the time. Now it's normal to just feel good. It's actually crazy to think I lived like that for so long. It's worth it to put the effort into your health. Who cares if it takes a long time. You'll thank yourself.

    Someone Asks “What Actually 100% Lived Up To The Hype” And People Deliver 45 Genuine Responses Growing up in the big city, or what we'd consider to be one out here. I had never had an interest in nature or 'outside'. One day after school my parents arrived as usual. What was unusual was the fully packed car. Understanding hits me like a truck. Camping.

    Oh no not a plushy electric camping experience my father confirms. We're going to Botswana. The true great outdoors. I sulk of course, all the way there. We get to... well where ever we were. Set up camp and I jump straight in my tent to continue my pity party.
    Some hours later and my parents still haven't lit a fire. I can hear their voices faintly. Upset, but more because of their disregard for my tantrum. I emerge from the tent and all thoughts of my remarks disappear.

    The sight that greets me is, for lack of a better word, Awesome. Stars, more than I thought possible. They covered every inch of my vision from one horizon to the other behind me. Between the blanket of stars, nebulae of every colour are visible.

    My father laughs at my expression as I desperately crane my neck to see it all. Lemme tell you folks. Perfectly dark night sky 100% lives up to the hype.

    And if you tried it and wasn't impressed, then please don't give up on it! There are a lot of varieties in different parts of Japan, with smaller family-owned shops offering something that is quite different from what bigger and more popular ones have, so there is an actual chance that the ramen of your dreams is waiting for you somewhere.

    For people Harry Potter seems to be either “love/obsessed” or “meh, I don’t understand why this is so special” and like not much in between. I haven’t found anyone that hates it and just a few who “kind of” like it. I am in the “meh” category. I read like one and a half of the books and saw three of the movies, but it never drew me in. I’m really glad though about how many kids it got into reading.

    Someone Asks “What Actually 100% Lived Up To The Hype” And People Deliver 45 Genuine Responses Dungeons & Dragons.

    I lived with a friend at university who -- back in the days of 3.5e -- would suggest every weekend that we played a game. I had no interest in spending my Saturday afternoons pretending to be an elf or whatever-the-f**k you were supposed to do when you played. *No, thank you.*

    Then I actually tried it a year or two ago, and it's dope. Sit around with friends, talk some s**t, eat some cheese, drinks some beers, kill some imaginary goblins. With three months I was DMing, and now I have more dice than I know what to do with and a folder on my desktop devoted to all the games I know I'm never going to get around to playing, all because adult scheduling is the true BBEG.

    Smart devices, but especially smartphones. I remember watching the keynote in 2007 and thinking this was just an Apple gimmick. Twelve years later and theres no way I’d willingly go back to not having my smartphone; I wouldn’t be typing this right now.

    It took me a bit too long to move from flip phone to smart phone and I don’t know why I didn’t sooner. It combined so many things I used through apps, etc.

    Visiting Machu Picchu and other Inca ruins. It was amazing. They don't tell you that there are just random llamas grazing on these ancient stone terraces. Or that there are huge blue butterflies everywhere. Or about the tourist city that has sprung up around the ruins of Machu Picchu. Or about how crazy the city of Lima is.

    We showed them to our kids when they were little, and we've watched them many times. Ditto with the LOTR series.

    Camping in Australia.

    I come from Europe, and a lot of folks go to Australia after high school. My friends who were there loved it, but all I always took from the conversations with them was, that they worked crappy, underpaid jobs, to live in a van in a country where everything tries to kill you.

    After I finished university my GF made me go with her, and I was so not hyped. Turns out I have never seen a more beautiful country with such a nice infrastructure for camping. I would say it was the best 6 weeks of my life so far.

    My wife’s deviled eggs. She talked these things up for months when we first started dating. Her mom talked about them, her dad, her sister, everyone in her family loves them. Then I ate one. It was life changing.

    Someone Asks “What Actually 100% Lived Up To The Hype” And People Deliver 45 Genuine Responses My very first trip to Manhattan.

    My sister and I booked a 10 day stay at The Roosevelt in Midtown. We land at LaGuardia from Dallas and the airport employees were super friendly when they saw me in my UT Dallas hoodie; I even got a hug! Like, what?! So we go out of the terminal and the car service to Manhattan calls us to let us know they overbooked and ran out of sedans and SUVs....so they sent a stretch limo to pick us up!

    The trip was full of lucky turns. We got very last minute front and center seats to the Radio City Rockettes for $60 each!

    The city just lived up to every expectation I had since childhood. I love it.

    Jurasic Park Helicopter Tour of Kauai Island in Hawaii.

    It's about $400 for 1.5 hours, but it's one of the most life changing things I ever did with my dad. Out of one window, you saw wales break the surface, and then you zoom around the island in and out of cliffs and rocks and mountains and dozens of mini waterfalls, and then you land a few yards from where the Jurassic Park helicopter pad used to be, and you walk up to the 500 foot falls. It's really just an amazing trip to see.

    Someone Asks “What Actually 100% Lived Up To The Hype” And People Deliver 45 Genuine Responses The Nintendo Switch. I hadn’t bought a Nintendo system since the Gamecube. I wasn’t thrilled about the Wii or the WiiU, so I was hesitant to buy in to Nintendo’s new system when it was announced. I bought it and was 100 percent back as a Nintendo fan boy. That system is fantastic. The fact that it is both portable and a home console is amazing to me. And yes, it is underpowered compared to the Xbox One and PlayStation 4, but it makes up for it in its versatility. Also, I can turn it off instantly and come back to exactly where I left off. Brilliant

    This was me but with Gameboy instead: Gameboy Advance being the last handheld Nintendo related thing I owned at the time. Then many years later I returned to Nintendo Switch Lite and it's been among my proudest purchases ever: love spending time with it on a daily basis. 🧡

    from the fundraising to its eventual release a lot of put behind this game and it came through with an explosion of success. A wave that threw itself over the gaming community whether we liked it or not, ^(in more ways than 1.)

    Best game ever! Over 5 YEARS and a few playthroughs later (on wiiU & switch), and I'm still paying it again until the sequel comes out. I still discover stuff I haven't found before all the time. There are months at a time that I don't play at all due to the demands of nursing school, but it's definitely a great way to spend my downtime when I have some and the weather is too crappy to go outside.

    I mean....it was exactly the way everyone expected it to be because it's the same game they played in the past. I'm not sure this one quite fits.
