19 Redditors Express The Dark Realities That People Choose To Live In Denial About

Many of us live our daily lives by going to work, coming home, taking care of our families, and paying bills. A lot of us don't think about the bigger picture or some of the realities we have to face.

I mean, who wants to go through life worried about the harsh, dark realities of existence? Well, we can't exactly escape them, so it's nice sometimes to get a reminder of what's to come.

We have a tendency to lose our sense of reality while going through our day-to-day lives, but this Reddit post certainly showed us exactly what we didn't want to remember about our daily existence. A Reddit question was posted that asked, "What are some of the most common dark realities people choose to live in denial about?"

This question actually received a lot of responses, but we should note that this is a serious topic and includes discussions about death, suicide, and other triggering subjects. I think I can speak for most of us when I say that it's tempting to almost forget about these dark realities, but today we are looking deeply into them.

These dark realities really have us feeling emotional after reading them. I think many of us prefer to live our lives every day without remembering things like this, as it makes life a bit more enjoyable and less stressful.

That being said, sometimes it's best to truly understand what's going on in the world.
