Are you the type of person who gets the hiccups and farts a bit too often? It probably makes you very uncomfortable when it occurs in public. But, we are here to tell you that this is all normal and just a part of human nature.
There is really nothing to be ashamed of. In fact, the more we normalize and talk about things that are so stigmatized in society, the less fuss is going to be created when the topic lands in a conversation.
