Of course, we all know that memes aren’t technically an official love language. There are five of those, by the way, in case you’ve forgotten. And they go beyond romantic relationships too. We can use them to show love to anyone in our lives.
Words of affirmation is about showing love through compliments and encouragement. Quality time means giving someone your full attention and doing things together. Gifts are about thoughtful gestures that show appreciation.
Acts of service means helping out and making someone’s life a little easier. And physical touch covers things like hugs, holding hands and all the other ways we connect physically.
But think about it. When you send a funny picture to your friend or significant other with the caption “us,” you’re doing more than just sharing a laugh. You’re telling them that something reminded you of them, that you understand them well enough to know they’d find it funny.
That kind of thoughtfulness is really no different from any other way we show the people in our lives that we care. So honestly, sending memes really is its own kind of love language at this point.

What’s with this ondo troll ffs ain’t no one gonna click no links idiot !
Relationships counsellor Louise Tyler explained to Stylist how memes can actually serve as digital hugs for our closest people when they need it most. She described sending memes as what therapists call “warm fuzzies.”
These are small gestures between people that communicate something along the lines of “I see you and you matter to me.” Tyler pointed out that in the past, these gestures might have been compliments or small thoughtful gifts.
But today, sending a meme can have the exact same effect. According to her, it all comes down to small moments of real human connection that come with a boost of oxytocin, which is the bonding hormone sometimes called the “love hormone.”

Memes also play a surprisingly big role when you’re getting to know someone new. According to a Hinge survey of 2,000 users, sending memes is actually the number one preferred way to flirt both before and after a first date.
On top of that, 73 percent of people on the app use memes to figure out if they share a sense of humor with a potential match. And 60 percent said they want to get a feel for someone’s meme humor before even agreeing to meet up in person.

Doctors are exposed to it way more often than the average patiant. Even if you had to get an xray once every month, you should be finde. Those doctors however may have to do that to different patiants 20 times a day. If they would not cover, they would get sick really fast.
So if that doesn’t prove how much memes matter in our relationships, what does? They can genuinely influence whether someone feels like a good match on a dating app or whether you even want to meet them in real life.
A well-timed, well-chosen meme can say a lot more about compatibility than a standard opening line ever could.
Theodora Blanchfield, AMFT, explains in an article for Verywell Mind that memes have fundamentally changed how we communicate. They can make it easier to express things that are typically hard to put into words.
Research shows that memes addressing difficult topics like mental health or loneliness give people a safer and even socially acceptable way to share some of the weight of those feelings.
Finding humor in tough situations can also take some of the power away from emotions that might otherwise feel too heavy or taboo to bring up.

I know! It's like when I'm in line at the grocery store, make a joke, the person behind me laughs, jumps on board w/follow up, you both laugh - and for a fleeting second, you both are quiet and like in 1st grade, you wanna say "do you want to be my friend"?.. but you don't, because you're an adult, and being an adult suck$.
Memes are also a really underrated tool for maintaining friendships over time. A lot of us have close friends who live far away or who moved to a different city at some point. Texting and calling are great, but they can take a lot of energy and time, especially when you’re trying to keep up with everyone you care about.
Sending someone a perfectly chosen meme is quick, funny and reminds them that you haven’t forgotten about them. It keeps the connection alive without always needing a full conversation.
At the end of the day, memes really are a love language. They let us show people we’re thinking of them, make them laugh when they need it and stay connected even when life gets busy.
Whether you’re bonding with a long-distance friend or just brightening your partner’s afternoon, a good meme does the job every single time. So the next time you hit send on one, know that you’re doing more than just being funny. You’re showing someone you care.

Me, whenever I accidentally use a drop of retinaldehyde/AHA+BHA more than usual: "Oh, so it's like that, is it? I hate you. You'll be flaking like a lizard from now on. But since I don't hate you THAT much, no adult acne for you on THIS side. Let's review the wrinkles topic next time. "

You hear about how Harry got all upset that his British Security Team would no longer be paid for, after all, they now live here in the USA. They don't seem gracious and never give off the kind of dignity Queen Elizabeth always did, may G*d rest her soul. BUT THEN you see your president making loads of money based on whether he's going to b**b Iran or not despite media not really tracking where the money is going, and you think, at least the current King and Queen have some class and aren't telling their subjects that they're terrible people who deserve to be in jail.
