These Are 50 Unspoken Rules Of Life That Everyone  Enjoys Following But Nobody Talks About

You would think that living in a world with no rules would be chaotic and very stressful with no direction, but that actually may not be the case. As you become adults you kind of realize the unspoken rules of the world and just that most people do certain things.

These unspoken rules would be sure to stick even if we lived in a world with no rules. We have developed an unspoken language about the rules of society and adulthood.

Some of these unspoken rules are quite silly and just something that it seems everyone does in a certain circumstance, but there are others that are more serious or more followed rules even if they are technically unspoken. These rules were found on Reddit on various threads that were shared by many Reddit users.

If you don't already know about these unspoken rules then maybe this post will help you be more aware of certain situations and help you out with the societal rules of adulthood. No matter what, these rules will always be the epitome of adulthood because it seems the older you get the more you know.

Let's dive into these 50 unspoken rules of life that everyone follows but literally nobody talks about.

1. Safety First

"If someone you don't know suddenly strikes up a desperate conversation and seems to be wary of their surroundings while on a night out - they are your best friend. Best friend.

Because they're probably being harassed by another drunken patron and need some backup and I don't care if it's your mortal enemy, you act like you love them because they've got problems. You do not ignore someone like that"

Some of these rules are well known for literally anyone, but some of them are not as known because it is profession-specific. These rules really do help people in society when it comes to certain things.

These rules are helpful, playful, and just overall great for anyone who's entering adulthood and needs a hint of some unspoken rules that everyone (mostly) follows. Do you have any unspoken rules to add to this list?
