50 Funny Memes About Everyday Experiences That Hit Way Too Close To Home (New Pics)
Whether life feels like an action flick, a sitcom, or just a string of bloopers, we're all in the chaos together. And that's exactly what the Instagram page 'Netflix 'n Movies' taps into with its mix of pop culture references and everyday humor.
So, we've gathered a collection of their recent memes that are perfect for a quick scroll, especially on those nights when you don't have the energy for even an episode of your favorite show but still want to feel something.

Associate marriage and family therapist Theodora Blanchfield says that even though memes get trivialized and disparaged, they're an important "social currency."
"These small, often funny pieces of content are important for their ability to share ideas quickly and succinctly as well as foster a sense of connection and feeling seen," she writes on Verywell Mind.

Those were the times when shows were still SHOWS, not the modern BS of 8 episodes released all at once with 3 years gaps between seasons. A good show is 20+ episodes per season released WEEKLY.
As a millennial therapist, Blanchfield found herself "weirdly excited" the first time a client sent her a meme.
"You never forget your firsts. It felt like an honor to me. As someone who considers humor and sarcasm her love language, I received the meme as a sign of trust," the therapist explains.

Blanchfield says, "Sharing a joke or having a similar sense of humor illustrates having a similar perspective, and this person was taking a gamble that I would think similarly to them about this being funny."
She made sure to write back in a way that clearly signalled she found the meme funny.
"Sometimes a meme from a friend will hit my inbox, and I'll feel a bit of surprise. 'Wait, you feel that way too?? I never would have guessed.' There are a few people in my life who have outwardly enviable lives, but the memes we exchange show me that their inner lives are not quite as desirable."
"Typically one might think that sharing memes about depression might be…depressing? And, perhaps, to people not dealing with those melancholic feelings, they might be," Blanchfield explains. "But research supports that memes which address typically difficult-to-communicate themes ... give people a safer—and even socially sanctioned—way to unload some of the burden of their heavy feelings. Also, finding the humor in tough situations can take some of the power away from these otherwise taboo feelings."
Researcher from Kansas City Eva M. Hernández Cuevas explored how psychological well-being (PWB) relates to the sharing of mental-health-related memes on social media among 249 Puerto Rican adults. Using validated measures—including a PWB scale, 'Mood Regulation' and 'Escape' subscales, and participants' responses to selected mental-health memes—the study revealed that individuals with lower PWB scores were significantly more likely to share memes to alleviate tension or distract themselves from personal problems. Statistical analyses confirmed that lower PWB correlated with greater tendencies both to use meme sharing as mood regulation/escape and to find such memes more humorous and relatable.
In other words, people who were feeling worse mentally were more likely to turn to memes as a way to cope, laugh, and connect with others.

Over several decades, I've worked in retail, hospitality and my current work involves meeting with people. When I have a day off or two, I LOVE my alone 'ME' time.
Therapist Theodora Blanchfield agrees that memes feel particularly validating for the not-so-charitable moments.
"Sometimes, no matter how many ways I phrase something or ask something [of] a client, they still have a hard time wrapping their head around the fact that they’re not The Only Person Who Has Ever Felt That Way."
But while "each person's exact situation is different, feelings are largely universal. That is, while the exact grief of losing my ... mom, Carol, is not the carbon copy of your grief of losing your mom, we've probably had relatively similar feelings." So if you have chats with friends or other people that consist of nothing but memes, that doesn't mean they're superficial. Hopefully, this list will give you something to keep them fresh!

If this is a severe issue it may me Pathological Demand Avoidance. That is really hard to deal with, you cant ask them to do anything or even imply something needs to be done. But nothing happens if they are left alone either. But that way you at least dont get yelled at.

Our first dog wasn't technically allowed on a rug that was in the middle of the lounge. So he would lie next to it and stretch out a leg so that one paw was on said rug. Little monkey.

I lived for a while in Augusta, Georgia (USA) and it is on the Georgia/South Carolina border. I can't tell you how many times I drove home from work by a different route, caught the freeway, and found myself in South Carolina.

Well, I'm 69 and I've had 2 'mid-life crises'. One was good and the other bad. But I have a feeling I have another left in me yet though.
