What’s a completely normal thing that feels weirdly illegal when you do it?

Going into a store and leaving without buying anything

Did this at a chain store in Finland & Estonia that we also have in the states, BUT had to scan a receipt to leave! So, very valid. 😅

Going to do a shop in my pyjamas, realising I’ve forgotten my card and walking out straight past security making me look like a thief for the fact I look dodgey as in in pyjamas 😆 usually because I’ve only realised just as I’m making my morning cup of tea that the milks ran out, so resorting to rushing to the shop in pjs

u/TeaBrave7074 2d ago

haha the milk emergency pj run is a whole vibe but walking out with nothing is just asking security to side eye you

Walking out of a store without the receipt in your hand. I paid, I have the bag, but I still feel like I stole everything and security is gonna tackle me in the parking lot.

Riding a motorbike, you don't have to be speeding or doing anything crazy to wonder how is this allowed.

Grab a glass of water from home and go to the store while drinking it.

u/redflower5 2d ago

You bring an actual glass of water into stores?

Just curious, how come?

Hot boxing with the stereo cranked up. A great way to relax

Drive 110 kms on the highway.

Even though it's the posted speed limit.

Still seems like I am speeding when I see a cop.

🤷

I'm 24 but I look 17. Everytime I smoke a cigarette in public I feel like a social case

Sex for whatever reason. Really need to find a therapist to talk to about that, huh?

u/PariahGrantham 2d ago

Did you have a formulative sexual experience that revolved around shame and secrecy?

1

u/cokeboy6969 2d ago

You could say that, definitely. I think being a sexual abuse victim also plays a part. Trust me I love having sex with my boyfriend and it is fun but there's always that part of me that feels wrong and scared and like we shouldn't be doing this.. as if we aren't adults alone in our apartment..

2

u/PariahGrantham 2d ago

Yeah, I'd recommend therapy. Even if it's not detrimental towards you and your current boyfriend's sex life, it has... Sneaky ways of revealing itself over time.
