Many viral memes and social media posts point out the absurdity of life in a humorous way. But occasionally, you will encounter one that holds so much truth that you feel it sees right through you.
You’ll likely get this vibe when you visit this page on X. Sure, you may snicker and giggle as you scroll through. But since these are also painfully accurate, you may also feel seen.
The page covers everything, from 2 AM thoughts to working through lazy days and sleeping through problems that linger like dark clouds in your head. As usual, we’ve picked the ones you may relate to the most.

And Mary Lou Reton the nation USA gymnast who couldnt afford her own health insurance. Real people that need help cant get it and those who can just want more.
To be fair Alyssa Milano shouldn't have to foot the bill for her kids entire baseball team and if Mary Lou Retton once considered a National Treasure can't afford health insurance it's a problem and we're all screwed.
Load More Replies...I used to work at a grocery store, and there was this one guy who, every time he bought red cabbage, would refer to it as purple cabbage, and complain about it being called red cabbage.
Is clear purple just like clear but purple? But if it is clear how can it be a color. Sounds like an oxymoron. Like jumbo shrimp.
Since these posts convey harsh truths and “real talk” about daily life, here are a few more from licensed therapist and life coach Matthew Jones. In one of his articles for Inc., he compiled 20 “brutal” truths no one wants to admit.
One that sticks out is that you likely hold yourself to an unrealistic standard, which can lead to suffering. This problem is common among perfectionists.
“Fight back against that negative voice, amplify your intuition, and start challenging your unrealistic standards,” Jones wrote.

Many people rely on their natural talent to get by. However, it’s been repeatedly proven that talent alone won’t suffice. As Jones reminds us, talent without effort is meaningless.
“Some of the most talented people in the world never move out from their parents’ basement,” he wrote. Let that sink in for a bit.
Are you listening, YouTube? Why can't I listen while reading my email without paying $70 a month. Bandits.
i had this same problem... then i found out about split screens!! It lets you make the music a tiny box in the corner, you can access any app, and the music keeps playing! I use an oppo, so I'm not sure about other phones, but it works really well for me.
Load More Replies...this happens to me too, mostly because i screen record my favorite songs and watch them on photos just so i wont get hit with ads on youtube or spotify
I'm at the budget where I'm not upgrading my phone until it stops working...
Yeah.. they put a stop to that.. so we can buy new phones.. unbelievable!
Load More Replies...Yep, my phone is 8 years old at this point, and unless that MF dies, it shall continue its service for the rest of its' life.
To dead blame expensive for one thing, like always having a payment, unless you pay cash for it, bet they don't have 10 bucks in manufacturing them anyway!!
The definition of 'stops working' is pretty slippery. I had my first cellphone (a Verizon Motorola Star-Tack) for many years. This time around, I upgraded to new phone after about two years. This about the same interval I have experienced with my personal computers the first of which I bought in 1979.) In all cases, I shot and killed the old device because it just couldn't up with me any more.
I only upgrade mine as absolutely necessary. Like when I drop it. And I only buy the prepaid phones. So I never spend more than $40-60 on a new phone. As long as it's compatible with my carrier, I don't care.
fun fact, purple is not an actual color, it's a trick your brain plays on you.
Load More Replies...Many of us fail to live in the present. Either we ruminate about the past or worry about the future. But in one of Jones’ brutally honest reminders, the only time that matters is what is in front of you now.
“You can’t control the past, and you can’t predict the future, and trying to do so only removes you from the one thing you can control—the present.”

You spent your time there just being and not doing. Now you've lost that, and if you're smart, you'll meditate every day until you get it back.
The only time in your life Republicans will care about you - unless you're born rich, male and white
It’s one thing to have ambition, but turning it into a reality (or just attempting to do so) is an entirely different conversation. In this case, Jones leaves us with a hard-hitting statement: “Ambition means nothing without execution.”
“If you want to change the world, then go out there and do it!” he wrote. These could be your new words to live by.
Seen this before. Upvoted it again. Downvotes might be from people who are so self-centered they have lost their sense of humor. Some politicians come to mind.

Someone posted a method to get questions answered on the internet. Post a question and then, from another account, give a impossibly wrong answer and wait. People who wouldn't lift a finger to help you can't wait to correct someone.

My old job we were supposed to get a holiday party. Never got it until the following October. Then we found out that it was actually to show a client all the people they would make unemployed if they didn't give us the contract.
and 5 of those pizzas have disgusting toppings. Why dont they just get pepperoni and plain cheese.
Helo-oo, cold pizza. And name-brand Coke! You shouldn't have! In fairness, I have to say that Domino's sucks less than it used to.
Yes, but it was probably mediocre pizza delivered cold. That's been my experience.
kelsischloe...this is a scary oneliner your wrote. Do you have access to some help, or at least a listening ear?
Please please don't! Things do get better with time. Took me years to get help, now I regret the time I wasted. We all love you, do find the energy to get help. You are important to us and we care about you. We are here for you to listen and support.

I was born in the summer and have hated the season for 20-odd years now. Winter FTW, baby! (I mean, hey, if you're cold, you can always wear more clothes to keep warm - but if it's hot, you eventually run out of things you can take off...)
Seriously, my heat intolerance gets worse every year to the point that I can't be outside for more than a few minutes if it's over ~22C/75F. My body just starts to shut down.

Nearly any board game. They don't have the directions/rules in the lid anymore, they come with a friggin book.
Lots of these modern games are really good - way better than the old classics like Monotony - but dayum they're a commitment. You have to want to spend several hours playing to make the 40-minute learning curve worthwhile. It's too much for me.

They are. In Germany, 4 pcs. cost € 7,50 and I'm tempted to say: "I had cheaper beers in brothels.". (My grandpa used to say this every time he saw something slightly overpriced. We kids didn't understand it at the time, but the shop-staff was always shocked.)
Where in Germany do 4 piece boxes cost 7,50? At the airport? In Austria, a 16 piece box was for about 4,79, at least the last season. And most times sweets are more expensive here, than in Germany. Since they're on summer pause I can't compare prices, but I'm pretty sure, 4 pieces don't cost 7,50 in normal supermarkets.

There are only two possibilities when this it what you're doing. 1) Night terrors so horrifying that you scream yourself awake and can't get back to sleep again due to the awful memory of the dream and the terrible realisation that THAT came from your own head or 2) a beautiful dream that produces happy contentedness within the dream that, when you waken, gives you that moment where the happiness wears off as you realise the utter horror that is your life..
I had a professor like that in college. Always only 5 questions and he demanded we answer each on at least 2 pages.
The reason why instructors do this is to distribute the points to earn a grade. If I give out an exam with only 3 questions, and you get one of them wrong, your grade is ~66%. If I give out an exam with 3 questions, with 10 short parts each, you would have to get 10 of the short questions wrong to get down to a ~66% (and if you did that, then you earned that 66%).
Curious: then why not 30 questions? I'm reminded of a movie scene I can barely remember. Something about a final test and the most hated professor stood up and said: I only have one question , in 37 parts.

Both taste and texture changes while cooked. Also, I ger mildly.allergic.to fresch ones but not cooked.
I am also among the people who can have certain types of well cooked tomato (if I have to, they are horrible, but they get around). Most raw fruit makes my mouth blister and all the skin peel off, especially tomatoes, watermelon and bananas. I'm also allergic to latex, which I'm told is the same allergy family

My father, my brother and myself XD Only my Mom likes uncooked/unprocessed tomatoes in our family.
Yep that would be me, hate tomatoes, but will eat the other things, so weird I know!!
I have no weekends, I work in hospitality. Every sunday off normally (unless there is a sunday opening which is next week) and a random day in the week.

I could write to stop my over thinking, but what if someone reads it and then thinks it’s about them, and then I’m seen as a horrible person! Breathing is good, but I’m always anxious my breathing is giving me enough oxygen. Exercise when stressed? What exercises? Now I’m stressed trying to pick some! I can do the sad one I’m too lazy to get up to shower

Showering in the morning requires adding more time between getting up and leaving the house. Therefore, big NOPE from me ;P
Nah, I always get sweaty overnight so showering at night is pointless.
Both - coolish shower in the am to get me going and a nice warm one at night to wash the day off and get all sleepy
Oh thank goodness I'm not the only weirdo who does both! Quick pop into the cold in the AM to wake up; then a nice, long, warm shower in the PM to wash the day away.
Load More Replies...Wish I could shower in the evenings, it would make mornings so much easier. I'm an incredibly hot sleeper and most nights I end up waking up over hot and sweaty (it's why I'm currently awake 😔). It's winter here, our bedroom isn't heated, I have the lightest weight duvet, natural fibres, no pyjamas... It drives me nuts. I do get cold when I first go to bed, so I must create the perfect little warm insulated cocoon around myself when first going to sleep

What we looking at here? The puppy chicken or the k**b coming out of the onion rings?
I think its funny how adults living with there parents think they have the right to treat it as if they pay the taxes on it. You dont get to invite people over because you are an adult. you want to do that, GTFO.
Wait, people actually managed to live for free at their parent's house? No parents asking for part of your student paycheck??
I have an adult child that still lives at home and we're all perfectly content with them doing so. They still do their part around the house (as we ALL do, because we all live here), have a job for their own spending money and expenses, etc..I don't have any adult children who have ever gotten a student paycheck, but even if they had, I wouldn't ask them for it. The bills are going to be what they are and one person isn't going to raise them so significantly that I'd ask my own child (adult or not) to pay for it. Although they'd have no qualms to contribute if I asked, I wouldn't ask unless it was an unexpected expense that we really can't cover without it. Like recent storm damage that we had to get repaired (including replacing an appliance and all of the food in the fridges/freezers).
