I’m weird. That’s a given. Well, atleast from where I stand. You see, I have this thing – I feel like I have an audience to my life. I’m not really sure who makes up the audience, but it exists. When I’m alone, I tend to feel like I’m being watched. Not in a “I’m crazy and schitz” way. I know I’m not being watched, but I can’t help acting like I am, and almost thinking twice about the things I do when “no one” is watching.
Now, this has led me to think about the things that people do when they think no one is around. The world is a critical place, it limits us as far as what we can and can’t do, that’s fact. But now and again, an opportunity comes round when we are alone, completely alone, except for my audience in my case.
I must add though, that my audience is reasonable, while I know they are there, I feel free enough to do anything in their presence.
Below is a list a few of the things I do, and the things I think other people do. I wont say which I do and which I don’t.
Drinking from the fridge I grew up with my mother. She’s a fussy woman about hygiene and the likes, but being a child, there were things I’d just do. One day, while she was in the bedroom, I took a 2 litre coke straight from the fridge to my mouth, and just drank! Now, as murphy’s law are what they are, she came out at that very point to catch me in the act. Needless to say, I was punished accordingly, and in my day, that did not mean “grounding”.
Now older and wiser, I do get tempted to just drink from the bottle, as to whether I do or not is another issue, I’m just highlighting the issue.
Done this a couple of times?
Clothing
This one is funny. Do you ever wear a torn shirt maybe, knowing you’ll be wearing a jersey the whole day so no one will see it?
Do you ever wear torn underwear? Or a dirty bra because all your lift ups are dirty and you need to wear a lift up. Notice that dirty is not like dirty for a child. Dirty refers to a bra that’s been worn 2 or 3 times without washing.
Always clean?
Going from the bathroom naked.
Ok, I’ll admit, I do this one. If I know I’m alone in the house, I’ll leave the bathroom after a bath naked. In fact, I’ll even eat and watch TV in my fleshy naked self!
Picking your nose
Bit disgusting, but when you know, or think no one is watching, would/do you pick your nose? Notice that “picking” your nose refers to using your finger, not using a tissue.
No, not picking your nose like that!
Like this:
Messages or photos on phone
Ok, if a friend or partner, or anyone, leaves their phone with you, and is not around, do you leave the phone alone. Or do you go to messages and photos?
Not your cellphone is it?
These are just a few of the things I’ve always wondered if people do when under the impression that no one is watching. So please educate me, do you do these things? What other things do you do?
Also, am I the only one who feels she has an audience?
