50 Hilariously Relatable Memes For People Who Are Fed Up With Other People And Their Nonsense (New Pics)
Interview With Expert
It’s a scary world out there. Sure, there may be fewer predators these days, but unfortunately, social gatherings, Zoom invites, and checkout small talk are still very much alive. And apparently, our brains have decided those are just as terrifying.
This is a safe space, though. No judgment here for dreading plans you enthusiastically agreed to when you were in a suspiciously good mood. Instead, we’ve got a collection of memes—courtesy of Fear of Going Out—to help us cope with the struggle together.
You’ll find them below. We won’t make you socialize to enjoy them.

I dislike religion, people and being told what to do. I am not the target market for a cult!
Tabitha 7 months ago (edited)
Same. A cult would just hate me, since in the first place I would probably only be there because I just tagged along with someone else, so could never be a true believer. I’d honestly always be “that” one and only person in the back who laughs out loud and says, “Wait, What are you telling us to do? Get TF out here. Really? What the f**k?”, and 100% refusing, loudly, to play along with it. Even a cult that’s notoriously difficult to get out of would have no problem and no hesitation booting me out for being so annoying. Because you can’t control a group of people and brainwash them into doing a load of sketchy s**t for you if one of them is constantly and loudly calling you out on your b******t.

But jokes aside, social anxiety is very real. And it’s not just shyness, introversion, or awkwardness, as it’s often misunderstood to be. It’s a mental health condition marked by a fear of social situations that’s intense enough to cause serious distress and interfere with daily life.

I don't know about that. People in the MAGA cult seem perpetually angry about everything. Even when everything in life is handed to them on a silver platter.
It’s also more common than you might think. Social anxiety is part of a broader group of anxiety disorders, which includes generalized anxiety, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), phobias, panic disorder, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). These disorders are among the most frequent mental health issues out there. In the U.S. alone, anxiety disorders affect around 40 million adults—about 19% of the population.

There is no law that says that I HAVE to answer my phone. I have emergencies covered with my kids in case of seriousness accidents or illnesses. Other than that, They can leave a voice mail and I can call them back at my convivence Same thing go's with answering the door. Nothing I do anymore is time critical unless it is serious with my kiddo's or my two best friends and they know the routine as well. I email my "Good Morning" check in so that they know I am still breathing. I go down for breakfast. 7:05am eastern time. I live in an assisted living. I am back in my room by 8:00amish. Now it is my time. I turn the phone off as well as the TV. I play with the cat and do what else I want to do. There are no interruptions and my nerves are not on edge. I don't want 15 people talking to me in one day!! "That would put me in the nut house!!!!!!"
To understand more about how social anxiety shows up and how it differs from certain personality traits, Bored Panda spoke with clinical psychologist Dr. Aneesa Shariff.
“Being shy is a very common and normal experience,” she explained. “Most people feel shy in different situations and eventually become more comfortable as they become familiar with the situation. Social anxiety however, is more persistent and can cause a lot of anticipatory anxiety about upcoming social events as well as anxiety in the moment.”

We had a similar thing in Sweden a few years age when a priest set of the church bell during a right wing political speech. As this ws during a political convention with all parties, Almedalen, it sparked a lot of discussions. I had previously thought of the suffragettes as heroes, but reading more it was the opposite. The violence set the public against them and split the movement. In the end the change came from other actions. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suffragette_bombing_and_arson_campaign

People with social anxiety often feel nervous about attending parties, making small talk, going out with friends, meeting new people, or even being the center of attention—like during work meetings or class presentations.
“They will typically either try to avoid these situations altogether or will experience a huge amount of anxiety and distress while in the situation,” Dr. Shariff said. “This can cause them to become socially isolated, lack friendships or relationships, and generally feel like they are not able to live their lives in the way they want to, due to the avoidance of triggers for their social anxiety.”

Part of it is the classes were down the hall or in the next building over and you could take a short walk and be there, plus you were still being supported by your parents, so weren’t expected to do everything to keep the household running. But the meeting and the grocery shopping is spread out across town and require you drive in bumper to bumper traffic, find a parking space at the office building, wait forever for the persons/people you’re meeting to get their s**t together, find their way to the conference room, and get the meeting done, THEN it’s back in the car to drive back across town again in bumper to bumper traffic, get to the grocery store, find a parking space there, navigate through the crowd in the store, find everything you need even though the store has again moved everything around so you can’t find anything, stand in a loooong checkout line because everyone else is doing the same thing you’re doing at the same time you’re doing it and the “brilliant” store management only has one out of the twenty lanes in the store open, then pack up the car, and for the third d**n time sit in bumper to bumper traffic to get home and start your next work shift there. Add in children and a husband who is a master at weaponized incompetence, and your exhaustion at doing what on the surface looks like very little but is actually very VERY time consuming because of circumstances, is completely understandable, and totally merited.

Hah. I had half a margarita and we had to walk around Sam's Club (warehouse store in the US) for half an hour until I could walk straight again.

12? I have a sweatshirt that says "I like cats and hockey. And maybe three people." The "maybe" is key there.

Mine says, "I like cats and books." Nothing about people. I tolerate people.

Just FYI being an introvert doesn't automatically mean you're incapable of social interaction. Introverts just need a lot of alone time to recharge their social battery. I'm not shy at all and enjoy socializing to a point. But when my battery is drained I'm done with people for a while.

Yep, it is not that an introvert hates people in general, just the idea of being around to many

Better: When your country went into Covid lockdown in 2020, did anything actually change for you? Really, the only thing that changed was the need to fill out a dumb bit of paper before going shopping. Otherwise, it was like "hey guys, welcome to my world, I live like this by choice". So I'm that much of an introvert.

I was no longer under obligation to be social. I developed aversions to being inside buildings for more than 5 minutes, masked or no. And, I could finally relax at prefering to be home.

I've accepted coffee while visiting, but not drink it and let it sit without saying anything because I saw there was a hair in the coffee. Normally I would be rushing to the bathroom gagging, throwing up and immediately tossing the coffee out, while gagging some more and leaving. I can't be doing that at someone's home. So, I'll not touch the coffee and hope they don't notice. Maybe discreetly pour it out when they're not looking.

Not having a guest room, nor a comfy anything for guests, really bothers family. Wonder why.
Tabitha 7 months ago (edited)
I need that extra room. My husband snores like a buzzsaw, and if I’m not dead asleep before he is, I have to move and become the “guest” in our “guest room” so I can salvage the rest of the night’s sleep. Otherwise, I am a grumpy zombie the next day. BTW, my husband is also kind of introverted homebody like me. The only kind of person an introvert can successfully stand to live with is another introvert. Duh.

what should be a 'guest' room was purposely turned into a craft room! and likewise, I'd pretty much feel more comfortable in a hotel than staying with family/friends I might see once every so often

We temporarily had a guest room, then quickly thought better of it and now it’s my craft room 😊

To be fair, you are kind of leading with the chin here. In an architectural sense, of course.

I thought anti-social people were supposed to be quiet. That's one of the best things about them. Let 'em talk and this is what you get!

Okay, so this isn't really on topic but it's my favorite story about my mom and a kazoo. I bought us both painted wooden kazoos on a complete whim. We were in the car heading home and Mom's tootling away, working the (painted on and thus utterly useless) holes and said "hey, I'm pretty good at this!" Didn't have the heart to tell her. Lol

Self checkout is the introvert's dream! I'm so thankful for them. Because I'm always sure the cashier is judging my purchases. :) And there was also that time one of them made a super loud comment about my menstrual products. That scarred me for life!

Only shop at places where you can take a scanner into the store. You scan the stuff and can pack them neatly in the bags. And can just pay at the end, no need to bring them up and then down again. 👍 malm-swede...ATBCHT.jpg

I always go to the cashiers, even when it takes longer. But the reason is to preserve their jobs, not to socialize.
Pencil 7 months ago
Me, too. And if I must use the self-checkout, I make sure to need assistance at least twice.

I like the teller. I get frustrated with technology that doesn't make the process any easier.

Only shop at grocery stores that you can take a scanner to go into the store with you. Se my response to top post here.

I always feel like they're going to get mad and demand I still pay full price, and it will be this big confrontational, loud thing that would end up with me crying and leaving with bad hair. When I have spoken up a hairdresser said "I'm the professional. I know what I'm doing."

Still better than having to participate in a social game without knowing the rules.

I had to learn the rules of a brain game AT WORK because the teen librarian wanted to practice teaching it before she took it to the schools for outreach. Yeah, no pressure there.

Sorry, BP, you can shove "We value your privacy" at me 'till you're blue in the face, once a minute or whatever. Won't make a blind bit of difference, you can shove your cookies where the sun don't shine, I'm not permitting them.
