50 Times People Posted Something So Relatable, It Got Featured On This FB Page
Interview With Owner
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.

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 love this. 50-something me is waaay different to 20-something me, and I'm tired of being held accountable for things I may have said or done back then.

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

Got an example here: I have homophobic parents. When I was young, they told me nothing but that LGBTQA+ was bad. I was a wee little one, and had no idea what that was so I naturally agreed with them. I learned more about it later in life, and became gay myself. I now regret ever being that way.

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.
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.”

Takes way less energy to be nice. Oh, cashier messed up? My order is wrong? No worries, all fixable. Screaming and ranting is exhausting.
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.”
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.
In order to ensure that the page remains a safe space, she doesn’t condone or tolerate any discrimination against the LGBTQIA+ community, body positivity, mental health disorders, race, religion, or disabilities. Doing so will result in a person being blocked from the page.
“I welcome different opinions, views, or stories from others, but transphobia/homophobia/racism/fatphobia, etc. will not be tolerated here. Please interact as you are through your personal experiences, but if you are going to belittle someone because of a difference in opinion or experience, then this is not the page for you,” she wrote in her post.

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..
However, she admits that she’s learning herself, and if there happens to be any misinformation on the page, she asks her followers to inform her about it. “If there is a post put up that has the wrong information, please let me know so I’m not posting fake information and that I can correct and educate myself as I am still learning.”
Currently, she’s not the only one who’s running the page. During the interview, Aynslie mentioned that her admin’s name is Ellie. “She is the backbone of this page. She has been so helpful and supportive, and it’s been great to be able to make a friend through this,” she fondly shared.

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!
The creator takes great pride in fostering a safe community for those who need it, and its members are appreciative of it. “I have borderline personality disorder, and your account is bringing me SO MUCH JOY,” one person commented.
"I'm also neurodivergent and have a lot of similar physical and mental health conditions. Thanks for making this page, it's always so relatable,” added another.
The creator of the page is very thankful for anyone who follows or visits her safe heaven on the internet. “I really am grateful for the people who have followed me, been through some dark times, and always been able to find great support and even friendships. I never expected my page to gain so many followers, but I am always grateful for those who are joining the journey of life and feel safe being themselves.”

Criticism isexpected. Compliments...they either want something from you, or are just raising you up so they can watch you fall harder.

Similarly, never make someone a priority when all you are to them is an option.
Seeing such pages bring people together with similar experiences is truly inspiring and proves that reaching out to others is always worth it. We have so many wonderful people out there who are willing to comfort us and lend a helping hand - just keep that in mind.

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.

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.

Strange how in the link to this article, the content is correctly referred to as "posts" - yet the written title is incorrectly "memes". Please differentiate properly, BP - referring to mere posts as memes is cringe.
