Relating to others has never been this easy, thanks to the rise of memes.

To help foster the social connections between us, we have prepared a whole list of the most random and yet relatable memes, courtesy of the ’I Be Like’ Facebook page. Scroll down to see them for yourself, and don’t forget to upvote your favorites!

It's true that money can't buy happiness, but having NO money can ABSOLUTELY cause unhappiness.
Having money gives you time to think and pursue happiness, but to collect that money in the meantime you usually become a s**t
Money can buy happiness, because there's not many things making you more unhappy than worries. Worries, often, revovle around money being tight, around jobs that aren't as secure as we'd like them to, and all these instances of money-related unhappinesses, can be evaded once you're financially stable with some reserves to fall back to. A plan B that always applies? A load of money. Yes, money can buy happiness - but, once any instabilities are rectified, more happiness can't be bought.
Me too. I live in Arizona, where every sunset is phenomenal.

However, we’re not talking about brands and relatability today. We’re simply going back to the basics and the human need to connect, how it impacts us, and how it’s not always easy to relate to others (I know, shocker).
At its heart, relatability is simple—we gravitate towards those who are most like us. This can be applicable in any area of our lives, whether it’s politics, entertainment, work, social circle, etc. It’s a way for us to organize the chaotic world, connect with others, and find community.
As someone who is actually named "Karen", and knows other people also named Karen, we will be so happy when this trend is over. Imagine that your name which is a part of your personal identity is being used to describe people when they're at their absolute worst. Please stop..
As I understand it, the name is applied to women who demand, through public tantrums and threats, results that violate either policy of the business, ability of the associate, or resources available.
Load More Replies...Our ability to relate to others is a learned and complex set of skills, which we develop and join together with our inborn abilities like communication, understanding others, and basic survival skills. The way we can relate to other people and approach relationships with them is largely dependent on our caregivers, who instill what’s acceptable in communication and what’s not.
Our caregivers also have an impact on how we feel about ourselves, our emotional intelligence, and our self-esteem, as they are all affected by our early experiences of parental love. This, as a result, also has an influence on how we relate to others and ourselves.
“How we relate to others is directly connected to how and what we think about ourselves,” says Karen Liebenguth, an accredited coach and mindfulness trainer.
When we feel negatively about ourselves and constantly doubt our abilities, we may have difficulty relating to others. If we aren’t valuing ourselves, we increase our chances of feeling insecure in social situations and avoid contact with others out of fear of judgment and criticism, which impedes our ability to relate to others.
When your cat jumps on you every morning at dawn. Including weekends and holidays.
I'm so glad I'm not the only one with a nutty cat who wakes me up at 4 am every morning! She stomps all over me, tries to push me out of the bed and meows her head off!!
Load More Replies...I willingly wake up early on weekends, to make the most of my free time! Weekdays, however... I'll snooze my alarm for an hour and crawl out of bed with barely enough time to throw myself together for work ... 😂 It's been extra hard lately with my 5-month old rescue kitten jumping up and purring, trying to sleep on my chest as soon as he hears the alarm.. 🥲
5 o'clock every morning, 7 days a week my cat Ruby is on my chest, purring very loudly and making biscuits until I get out of bed and give her treats.
Hard not to considering the USA is being taken over by fascists.
Even though relatability seems simple, it’s not that easy to achieve. There are many obstacles that could be preventing us from connecting with others in this way. One of which is negative past experiences, like trauma, conflict, or rejection. Such incidents can leave emotional scars that make us doubtful about forming meaningful connections. Our emotional openness subsidizes and, as a result, can interfere with our ability to relate to others.
How does it go? 1. Make your own coffee in the morning, 2. Cut coupons, 3. Only eat out as a special treat, 4. Inherit a $100M trust fund from your parents, 5. Cut your own hair.
Write a book called "How to Quit Working and Still be Able to Pay for Your Bills" and sell a million copies.
1. Contract a progressive, possibly life-threatening ailment. 2. Apply for disability. (2a. If you live in the US, possibly get turned down repeatedly.) 3. Get approved. 4. Profit.
I just spent $6,500 on a new air conditioner. I WISH my job offered overtime! Lol
Poor social skills, shyness, and social anxiety can also impinge on our ability to relate to others. If a person hasn’t had the chance to develop their social skills, like starting a conversation, interpreting non-verbal cues, or expressing their emotions effectively, they can experience anxiety about forming connections with others.
It means lounging on the sofa with drink of your choice and a good book, in the company of someone doing exactly the same
Load More Replies...Sometimes people may even unconsciously distance themselves from people as a way to protect themselves, which some experts call irrelationship. “Irrelationship, a dissociative adaptation, is a shared coping style which allows us to distance ourselves from the anxiety related to becoming close to others,” explain Mark B. Borg, Jr., Ph.D., Grant H. Brenner, MD, & Daniel Berry, RN, MHA, to Psychology Today.
Funny how people who say they're bad at making decisions suddenly get very good at it when given options. "What do you want to eat?" "I can't decide; you choose". "OK, Indian". "No, don't fancy that". "Chinese, then". "No. Not in the mood for it". "Fine. Italian it is". "No, we had that two days ago". "So what DO you want?" "I don't know. You choose".....
Me in January when I haven't dyed my hair in six months and don't care.
Me in June, stepping out the door into the humidity.

Your body tries to sleep after meals so you gain weight or something like that
Load More Replies...People who experience the inability to relate to others and can’t seem to form connections miss out on a sense of belonging, which is important for our mental health and well-being. This means that those who struggle with it have to improve their ability to relate in order to feel happy and a part of the community.
Squid Game & snacks in bed. Sounds like a good plan to me.
LOL Masking. I masked hard today after my managers changed today's plan five times by 3pm in the afternoon. They're pissed off too.
Dude, I was so exhausted when I went back to customer service after having a job where I encountered few humans. I took a long time to learn how to mask again for nine hours a day. I had a mental breakdown once a week for the first two months. My coworkers also wonder why I go sit in my car on my break instead of eating in the break room like everybody else. If I didn’t have those little breaks I would not have been able to keep this job
Load More Replies...This can be done by first working on our individual self-esteem. It’s the foundation on which all of our relationships are built. Practicing self-acceptance and self-care and working on the negative thoughts we have about ourselves improves our view of ourselves, which in turn helps us better connect with others.
Unfortunately, that's also how one ends up stuck in relationships with sociopaths...
Load More Replies...I have loads of empathy for everyone who does not make me wish Darwinism worked more quickly. Like one of my neighbors, who blows his leaves onto my property. If he were on fire, I wouldn't pîss on him.
Load More Replies...If your question starts with "Remember...", you can just stop there. Because I don't!
I sleep with my drivers license on my night stand so I can remember who I am when I wake up.
This is my face when I hear someone either call the other person Babe or they speak in baby talk
I have always called my partner‘s “babe” and have a really hard time using their name. For me it’s like a familiarized moniker like “mom” or “uncle “ like that person is my “babe”. I never realized that it was annoying to people, so sorry but I don’t know what else to do lol I’ve been at it for too long
Load More Replies...According to Google Image Search, she's from "90 Day Fiancee"
Load More Replies...Practicing empathy is another important step on the road to perfecting our ability to relate to others. It’s a skill that allows us to put ourselves in someone else’s shoes and understand their thoughts and feelings. It can be improved by actively listening to others and showing genuine interest in what they have to say. This helps to better understand others and foster a sense of connection and closeness, which relatability largely requires.
I'm a woman who grew up in the 90s. I wasn't allowed to show anger and if I did it would be met with scorn or amusement. Crying is basically all I've got left to fall back on.
Same; if I'm crying, someone's about to die lol
Load More Replies...My feet tingle after a 10 hour shift, it's the nerves telling me that they are not going to last much longer at this rate. In fact it's my day off and they're still tingling
Unless it's the weekend. Then I'm up at 6 and unable to go back to sleep. 😩
Unfortunately, they get ignored and marginalized again once Pride Month ends.
Load More Replies...No. I absolutely do NOT want to hear about your dream. It is only interesting to you.
My therapist LOVES hearing my dreams and that makes me wonder if I should be concerned xD
Load More Replies...No, me running into my moms room at night, seeing her flailing and punching air, wondering if she'll wake up if I call her of if I have to go in there and maybe get hit... Yeah, I'm having a dream about cute puppies, she's having a dream about fighting dinosaurs... Smh!
The idea of secret recipes is so bizarre. You want my recipe for my rye saison? Here you go! You want the recipe for my masala cream cheese dip? Of course!
My Grandmother, Mother, Aunts and all would happily give and even teach anybody any of their recipes. I have had people ask is that a family recipe? I always respond the same, yep would like have it.
Load More Replies...Mom would never have been upset if I passed on any of her recipes to other people. She was secure in the knowledge that all of HER recipes would be too much work for anyone else. Two examples - her homemade buckwheat pancakes (two cups buckwheat flour, one cup white flour, yeast (not quick-rising), water, salt, baking soda, sugar, molasses, melted butter. Mix up the flour, water, salt, yeast, and baking soda, cover, and let sit in the fridge overnight to raise. Next morning, let sit at room temperature for 30 minutes, then add sugar, molasses, and melted butter. Mix and bake.) and her ham loaf recipe.
I once made what I call Lazy Pierogi for a function. It's basically a layered casserole of pasta, mashed potatoes, caramelized onions, and cheese sauce, and it's delicious. People asked for the recipe, so I posted it and got loads of criticism for the lengthy recipe. Then just go buy pierogi that someone else made, ffs! Sheesh!

Eeuugh, the AI! The hamster has 6 toes on the left foot, and the taco is one with the cup!
That outfit? That hair? OMG, Mr. Mxyzptlk from the 60s comics had a sister!
Yet another obsession with some random item comes right the F out of nowhere. Or am I just even more out of touch than I thought?
yeah, every generation has something, we certainly had lots of different obsessions in my time :D
