The Most Common Guilty Pleasures

5. People Watching

People spend a lot of time worrying about what they need to get done for the day and mulling over life situations they typically have little control over. Getting caught up in daily stresses is hard to avoid, which is why looking into the lives of others is a favorite guilty pleasure of many. By observing others, a person can allow themselves a temporary escape from their own worries.

It can be healthy to put yourself in someone else’s shoes and it helps decrease the high levels of self-absorption that too many people in today’s world face. It allows one to consider new perspectives on life and looking into someone else’s world may change the way one views their own.
