I was a young adult before I realized this was an option. Too bad, would have made high school easier.

No other grammar pedants out there? Ok, it should be “fighting the urge to interrupt”. The sentence as written means they’re trying to stop themselves from staying silent.

If I didn't interrupt, I'd never get a chance to speak.

To discuss this further, Bored Panda reached out to avid internet user Gerda, who, besides loving animal memes, enjoys ones she can personally relate to.
For example, since she’s a student, school takes up a big chunk of her time, whether she likes it or not. So, she said that memes about it really help her to deal with pressures and the drama that comes from school. This is a perfect example of how it affects someone's daily life.

One bonus of getting older (that I have experienced) is that this kind of thing no longer sends me into a tailspin. If I make a benign faux pas, I'm much more likely to laugh it off and move on. I'm also much less likely to do something awkward, like over sharing too soon (possible translation: show too much of my personality) than when I was younger.

so i’m not rlly popular but the “popular group” has always been the group that has fun and doesn’t care what others think, this summer i was talking to someone abt the clicks at camp and apparently i was one of the “popular girls” and i was js not caring what others thought and having fun so idk that’s my rant

School isn’t the only topic that can be made into relatable memes. As we said in the introduction, basically all life struggles can be turned into memes.
For instance, let’s take mental health issues. Talking about them can be hard, but painting it through a comical meme light can make it easier. Or at least more relatable.
Our interviewee agrees with this sentiment: “I think sometimes memes can be a perfect way to communicate some feelings. Especially if it’s done with a meme template that’s understood by many so it doesn’t create any confusion.”

Wait until you hit your 60's/70's and you could swear blind the Solstice was only a few weeks ago (well, technically, it was) and it's now the Equinox, again, and Christmas is just a few weeks away, and the heyday of music (the 1960's and 1970's for me) was only a couple of decades ago, then you blink and think, no, that's half a century and more ago. Sigh.

try being 85 and a cat lady also last of 13 sibs and lost hubby and youngest daughter.
That’s where today’s list comes into play. It’s comprised of memes collected from the Instagram page “My Life Is Upsetting,” which currently has over 300K followers. Quite a harsh name, isn’t it? Well, at least in the bio it says “Just for fun,” so maybe it isn’t as bad as it might look at first glance.
The memes in this account aren’t that upsetting either. Yes, they’re related to mental health or life struggles, but they’re pretty funny. Well, as we made it clear before, relatability in memes is important, and that’s what makes these fun.

I have 2 modes histerically laughing at nothing or if u breath at me wrong I'll slap the s**t out of u lol
At the same time, relatability not only brings amusement, it also can help people connect. Associate marriage and family therapist Theodora Blanchfield notes that when people share memes, it signifies the trust between them. Plus, to share a meme with someone, you must have a similar perspective and sense of humor, which are factors that connections are based on.
Our interviewee said that she loves sending memes to her friends and family members: “I think sharing memes is a very fun way to stay in touch. Sometimes you don’t need to say anything, just send a silly picture, which signals to the person you’re thinking about them. Also, making someone’s day brighter even for a second is a nice feeling.”

Real, the music I listen to relates a lot to my current mental state :)
Montanavanna 1 year ago
I could not listen to the music I enjoyed when I was in my active addiction for years I am now rediscovering all the music I loved again. I am making new memories with the same songs with my children.
Michael Grant 1 year ago
There are certain songs that I wish could go back to be 'just songs' rather a reminder of 'that time' now that everything has turned out OK.

Nah, when you are depressed and your favourite sad song starts playing… that hits different

At the same time, when sharing memes, especially if they’re of a difficult topic, we should be careful. Not everyone finds the same memes funny. That’s what Gerda noted too: “Memes are intended to be funny and some just don’t understand how something terrible can be funny.”
She’s not wrong. One piece of research proved that “depression memes” are usually relatable to those who consider themselves to be depressed, but others can find them disturbing. It all comes down to the theory that those who navigate difficult emotional states tend to have darker humor.
Well, so maybe we can say that this list is meant for people like that. After all, why consume content you don’t like, right?
Which of these memes do you find funny? Don’t forget to upvote them!

I don’t know what happy fluffy fairy tale bubble you’ve been living in, but that is exactly the MO of your typical evil genius—-hell, even even your typical evil idiot will at least try it. When they really want something, and they’re savvy enough, they can be very skilled human chameleons. Then, once they’ve got what they want, and have it tightly secured, they change back into their real selves. Classic Jekyll and Hyde horror story switch. I unfortunately know this to be a fact from experience I wish I didn’t have.

I rescued a farm kitten, many years ago, she had a bad infection in one eye and had to have the eye removed. We shared lives for almost 15 years.
