A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.

I'd also extend it to mental and psychological state

We may feel guilty about feelings and choices that are normal and common. We only see the actions of other people and we only hear what they say out loud. We know how we feel deep inside but we aren't privy to that level of insight for other people.

We might feel that we are better or worse than other people as a result, when in reality we're likely similar

I don't know... I cringe at what some Hollywood movies portray as 30 year old men... And Im happy I'm not like that myself at all.

We are probably quite different inside, at least some of us...
