Being a human is not always comfortable. We experience loss, heartbreak, loneliness, and mistakes, leaving us flawed in various ways. It’s a big and sadly inevitable part of the human condition. But something that makes it more bearable is knowing that we aren’t alone in going through this all.

The Facebook page Chronically Strange and Uncomfortable is a safe internet heaven where its creator shares the ups and downs of what it means to be an ordinary person living on the planet Earth. It’s full of relatable memes and posts that address human struggles in hopes of forming a community and raising awareness about mental health and other important topics. To find them, all you have to do is scroll down.

While you're at it, don't forget to check out a conversation with the page's creator, Aynslie, who kindly agreed to tell us more about it.

I told my (adult) daughter that parents try very hard not to make the mistakes they think their parents made while making a whole bunch of their own mistakes.

I remember overhearing my parents arguing about me one night when I was about 8 or 9. The old man was mad that I refused to just be the gender they picked for me and was going on a tirade about what a freak I was. I banged hard on their door and ran back to bed. They shut up after that, and mom came to me a few minutes later and discussed with me if I really wanted to be a girl (of course I did). That was a weird night, and ultimately led to a horrible experience from the old man, but it did also lead to some very happy months before that where I got to be myself for the first time ever.

    Unfortunately, we live in a culture now where the new bullying is looking up ancient tweets, posts, past episodes, etc... and trying to destroy someone's life without regard to personal growth. I personally know a number of people who served time with swastika tattoos and an entire train of baggage that are clean and sober, giving back to their communities and working to get tattoo cover ups/removal or leave them to open a dialogue about change and hope. I refuse to be defined by my trauma or past. Shame on those who think that is their right to do so to others.

    I worked with a young woman about 40 years ago, we would joke around a lot during our shift, and in the process I told a couple of jokes that were incredibly insensitive. She always laughed, but in retrospect I don't know how she kept from slapping me across the room. I hadn't thought of her in decades, but for some reason she started being on my mind last fall. I apologized profusely in my thoughts (not the first time), and hoped she was happy and doing well. I decided to google her, just to find out, and I found her obituary. She had passed away about the same time I started thinking of her.

    I'm truly glad that during my student years, [when I left home for the capital of the country and that was the first time in my whole life living and acting unsupervised and as a legal adult (oh, what a naive child I have been)], the Internet was just gaining its strength, there were no smartphones yet, and social media websites were a funny novelty. We did so much weird shite back then, that sometimes, when insomnia hits hard, I still ponder on that stuff we used to do or believe; and realisation comes how much everything, and me in particular, changed

    I swear I had an existential crisis when I was about to turn 30 (many moons ago) because I had it on my head that by the time I turned 30 I should have accomplished x,y,and z and I hadn't done any of those things. The day I turned 30 I woke up and realized it was just another day and I was right where I needed to be. I freaked out about it for years leading up to it and then it came and went just like another day. Lol

    The page Chronically Strange and Uncomfortable was created by an Australian named Aynslie in 2021 and already has over 360k followers. The creator briefly describes herself as a “chronically ill Australian who just wants to raise awareness while posting memes.”

    In 2022, she introduced herself to her followers by making a post talking all about her struggles and what this Facebook page means to her. “I’m an anxious, silly, weird, strange, uncomfortable, traumatized, neurodivergent Australian with fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue, and endometriosis.

    ADVERTISEMENT

    I like to use this platform as a personal blog and a way to spread awareness about disability, LGBTQIA+, women's rights, human rights, trans lives, the Black Lives Matter movement, and more. I’m pro-choice, and my pronouns are she/her,” she explains.

    To learn more about this page, we were lucky enough to get in contact with the creator herself. When asked what inspired her to start such a personal blog, she told Bored Panda, “At the start of lockdown 2020, Melbourne went into one of the harshest lockdowns. I got diagnosed with fibromyalgia and was so isolated from my life that I wanted to create a safe space for others who felt lost from their health issues so that we could come together and have a safe community.”

    It is not stupid. Unfortunately there are those that will not understand until they experience the same pain, like their child coming out and being attacked (Cheney), having a partner develop a neurological disease that required stem cells (Reagan), or had a child suffer racist attacks (French). It is doubly unfortunate that some will just refuse to understand.

    I have said this to my boss at work. The next day, we sat down and calmly resolved the situation. He has learned that I may need a day to process my conflict-related emotions, and he is gracious enough to allow for that. I got hurt at work on Wednesday (completely my own fault), and he was frustrated with me. He said something that struck a nerve. This morning I stopped by his office so we could clear the air. He apologized. After discussing things, we move forward. Emotional processing precedes rational responses.

    i hate how this sounds so weird to me, and probably a lot of people, because i was taught from a young age that maturely settling arguments is seen as awkward. the only reason that i struggle to resolve arguments is because i was taught at such a young age that arguments are a competition instead of a thing that can be moved past and communicated.

    I don't know if this works for you, but maybe phrasing it differently can make it feel less weird/awkward? "I need a moment, let's continue this conversation in half an hour?" or "I'm too upset/angry to be reasonable right now, I'll talk to you next week, okay?" might feel less weird?

    She describes the content she posts as a mix of her own experiences, relevant memes about mental health, and current world affairs—something they can discuss together as a community. “I do love a good dark joke here and there and try to make fun of a crappy situation, I have always used humor to mask the pain. But I never take things too far and am always open to other opinions,” she adds.

    “I think I’m really trying to use the page to show that life is always going to be uncomfortable but having the people around you to make it a bit more comfortable is what’s important and it’s nice that people are just real and raw.”

    I fell in with a great crew that just gently corrects my credulousness at things (nothing they do, just if I am misreading a thing) and cares about making sure I don't get snookered. There are plenty of places with safety out there <3

    I spent most of my life naive and gullible, I've kicked myself a thousand times and then suddenly about 4 years ago, I stopped kicking myself, the past just fell away and there was calm, I started to accept who I am and was and I don't regret being innocent, I thank God for it. Never let other people's actions and words decide who you are, they are seeking power over you and they are not entitled to it, ever.

She is hurt I don't share my life info with her anymore, but I really don't like it, when random people I don't even know, ask me things about my life and they apparently know many details...

    Classic victim blaming, calling someone gullible. Unless they fell for something really obvious from someone they had no reason to trust, there can be grounds for a lesson in who you trust there.

    The creator hopes that something people take away from this page is a laugh or new information about people who suffer from chronic health conditions. “You never know who is disabled, and you never know if you could become disabled, so I always believe in sharing that information. I also hope that people can find a sense of community online, as it can be hard for a lot of us who cannot always socialize in person,” she says.

    O suffering championships.. im done with all people pointing i was lucky, strong, resilient, just because what happened to me "is not as bad as what happened to x and y " and i should not be oversensitive... Or just stand up because "if x did, you can do too" Being emotionally overwhelmed should be perfectly legit and taking a time to process it and mourn should be respected... But again everyone expects you being resilient and just get over anything in no time.

    My life went to hell a few years ago and I had a complete nervous breakdown followed by years of depression. Now life has once again screwed me over in a major way and yet this time I just shrugged and carried on. I have officially reached the stage of no more damns left to give. When I once saw things to panic about I now see just another problem to be solved.

    Few years ago i had some big depression and i took medication for almost one year. At some point it was better overall but my internal thoughts had almost completely disappeared. It was very strange, i felt in better shape, in better mood but empty and really... flat. So i decided to stop the pills and i try to focus on positive thoughts. My brain still whisper bad things every day but i try to not be overwhelmed by that.

What's even worse is when parents have a kid, see how hard it is to be a good parent, and do it again. But then, billions of parents do a horrible job parenting and live in denial, to their children's detriment

She feels that my bf (we've been together for 11 years)is stealing me from her. Just as she feels that her stepmom is stealing her dad away from her. It is exhausting to be around and I shield my kids from her words a lot.

    We were raised to think that this was a 'fault' (being introverted) That we were rude to people by being 'quiet' and that we should change and be 'normal' Since I've been online I've discovered that introversion is not a minority pursuit it's just that (as you'd expect) the extroverts shout loudest..

    I was born and abandoned. I was passed around to 'mothers' when I was in care. Adopted by a 'mother' who didn't want me. Passed around again. Sometimes 'mother' is overrated

    I borrowed an older lady as a spare Mum as mine moved overseas with Dad for his work. This is an excellent way to have second opinions and caring when family are not available. I call them "Adoptive Aunts/ Spare Mums". I find mine at Church, then we have time to get to know each other first. Neutral territory.

    It takes time and repetition, but you can still develop new/better neural pathways after your brain is fully developed. Toddlers' neural pathways look like a whole mess of secondary roads and adults' look like mostly expressways, which are the pathways you use repeatedly, with few smaller roads compared to children. You can still make new roads, though!

    I don't really understand this one? Are you supposed to say cows, when you pass a field of cows? 🐄 actually, as I'm writing this and thinking about it, maybe I do announce, that I see cows and point in the general direction. But I live in an area where you usually don't see cows, very often. For those that live in dairy farm/ farm country, is this a thing for you too?

    Criticisms are easier to except, Compliments are rare and far between. But I have found way to kind of deal with compliments that, while still kinda awkward, usually draws laughs. In a passable imitation of Goofy, I say: "Gawrsh, you're embarrassing me!" followed by his laugh. But I really don't have an clue as to properly accept a compliment.

    Are you my girlfriend? If I tell her she's a a vicious, pernicious little crime against humanity, she makes mean faces at me. But, if I tell her she's a brilliant musician and her dark eyes have me teetering like a reverse Icarus on the event horizon...she also makes mean faces at me. To be honest, the mean faces and insults alike are in jest, but it does make me laugh that the only thing that gets her more riled up than an insult is a compliment.

    Then you're not picking the right friends or you need to do a little introspection as to why absolutely no one likes you. Do you insult or belittle others, dominate the conversation, forget to shower? No one owes you friendship. Figure out if you're attaching yourself to toxic people or if you are the toxic person. Then change accordingly.

    The thing is that people don't really tend to actually go through their friend group and rank it like that. It's hard to see what people value in you because a lot of folks have trouble articulating it, but you might be surprised.

    Nope! This reeks of "due to my personal damage, fragility and strong presence of main character syndrome, i've decided to internalize every comment, action and situation that doesn't align with what i, personally would do or say as a direct attack on my existence, and thus it's now the responsibility of everyone around me to apologize while i fasten them with strings so as to make it easier for them to dance to my liking" Also known as "if you don't validate every fart as "da prettiest" perfume you've ever encountered, i'll do my utmost to make your life a living hell"

    Yes, but also sometimes it's a form of self care to let it go and move on. Like, that racist aunt is never going to change, the father-in-law is going to make snide comments under his breath, etc. it's good to set boundaries. It can also be ok to release your expectations of making other people better versions of themselves.

    It's so sad when you decide to be honest with people about how you feel and instead of understanding and trying to fix the issue,they cut you out of their lives. It really makes you wonder if you wonder if you're the problem.

    It's really the old 'hi'. In English it was traditionally 'how do you do' and similar translations in lots of other languages. I'll let native speakers add comments on those rather than mangling them myself.

    I passed a friendly neighbor while walking back to my house yesterday. We exchanged the standard pleasantries and then I said "I'm going to go inside and drink water" and she was like "ok, you do that." And now I wonder if that's a normal thing that normal people would say, or if I'm just setting expectations up front so they know what to expect from me.

    I hate this one. Being on the spectrum is not a quirky fad. It is a life filled with challenges that go unseen and expectations that cam be impossible meet. It is living in a world in which small things can cause tremendous pain and the threat of overstimulation is constant. It is struggling to understand others verbally or socially. It is having a diagnosis which is so common but with symptomology so unique that the saying is, "if you've met one person with autism, you've met one person with autism." It's not trendy or fun. It is real and it is challenging. The people who are on the spectrum are absolutely special and I honor them and what they deal with but not by making them a meme.

    What I think they meant was that THEY are on the spectrum and that other people think they're on something. That, too, is an annoying assumption to have made about autistic people.

    Oooh that's what it's called. Okay, did not know that was a specifically BPD thing

    Splitting (deciding something or someone is all good or all bad) is most definitely a BPD thing. And I think it must be exhausting for people who have it.

    I actually don't understand any of this. Just thought I'd point that out.

    While doing online dating a few years ago, I started calling guys out on their s**t and recommending therapy. By s**t, I mean using me as a therapist, unhealthy friendships, unhealthy parent-child relationships, saying weird c**p to me. Nah, mate, you've got to pay a professional; I'm not interested.

    I was going to say that I do this even though I don't have auditory processing issues and then I remembered that I legitimately have trouble understanding what people are saying without subtitles so maybe I should get that checked out

    My mother's parents only met bc of the result of WW 2. So it's Stalin's fault I'm here. But Hitler started the war, but also that war was the result of the first, so it's Princip's fault.

    Women cry when they are angry. If someone is making you feel like that a lot, it's time to cut them off.

    We tend to cry, when angry, stressed and or overwhelmed. In my experiences anyway.

    God I know, I can't stand it! Then I get accused of crying to avoid/manipulate/you-name-it when I literally just want to be able to have a simple confrontation without red eyes and a snot nose! And that horrible tight feeling in the back of my throat.

    Tattoos, black clothes, dark hair and being a maneater do not automatically exclude crying. Just like being a 6 foot tattooed beast of a biker doesn't either :) Crying is therapeutic

    When I ask Mr Auntriarch what he fancies for tea and he says anything, or what have we got. These are wrong answers. If I wanted to think about it or if we had anything in the fridge, I wouldn't be asking

    I have a very decisions heavy job so the decision fatigue is real! When that happens I will just tell my husband that I don't want to make anymore decisions today and he will just make them for me. It's little things like what should we have for dinner or what should we watch tonight but it's a real help!
