50 Hilariously Relatable Memes That Might Make You Feel Like You’re Looking In The Mirror
We all want to be seen. Or maybe some of us do. Some of the time... There’s a strange comfort in knowing that you’re not the only one who does that weird thing. Or has those quirks. Or thinks these crazy thoughts. Even if you don’t or won’t openly admit to them.
Those of us who won’t openly admit it can always turn to memes to seek out our tribe. They’re a reliable and relatable source of support even, or especially, in the many moments when we feel like no-one understands us.
Instagram page Relatable Energy is a wall of such cozy, hilarious content. It’s clocked up more than 55,000 followers, all cheering each other on in chaotic camaraderie. Bored Panda has picked the best posts from the page, and many might have you whispering “That’s so me!” Keep scrolling and don’t be shy to upvote the ones that perfectly match your energy.

When you're going through sh*t, it's sometimes nice to know that you're not the only one. Even if the "me too" doesn't come from an actual, living and breathing person. It's the little things that count. They help to lift us up. And that's why many of us can't get enough of relatable memes.
Memes help people feel “seen.” And when you feel seen, your feelings tend to be more validated. There's that shared emotional experience. You aren't facing the world alone afterall. Ah, what a the relief.

It also doesn't hurt to laugh when the chips are down and it feels like everything is crumbling around you. Memes provide stress relief and emotional resilience in the form of humor.
Laughing at a painfully relatable meme can help drop your cortisol levels, while raising your dopamine and serotonin levels. What does this mean in simple terms? An improved mood, feeling less stress and a bit happier.

This is my Mom. She never said I told you so, but you could see it in her eyes. She always gave everyone the benefit of the doubt, but once every 5 years, she was just instantly dislike someone. She knew she had no reason, so was outwardly polite and never caused drama. Then she would be proven correct years later. She wasn't particularly perceptive in the moment or particularly observant (neither am I), but she would pick up on certain types of no-good people.

Funny relatable memes, like those on this list, also allow us to view stressful situations from a lighter perspective. Think about how memes helped many of us through lockdown and the Covid pandemic. As simple as they were, they offered a shared form of emotional comfort. And a way to laugh through the pain. In a way, they helped build resilience.

I just had my hearing tested and got an A, which is pretty impressive at my age. I can hear sounds most people can't hear, however I don't understand what people are saying most of the time. I think the fault, besides the story being boring, is that most people mumble when they speak. Enunciation is what I require if you want me to understand and actually follow along.

For years now, I've used the fact that I was about 32 yo before it occurred to me to turn on the water and adjust the temp BEFORE I got in the shower as an example of how I'm an idiot in a particular way. Strangely, there was a whole bunch of stuff that I suddenly figured out right around that age. I am autistic, academically smart, and stupid in most other ways. I always put it down to that, or that I had a horrible concussion when I was 12 and maybe 20 was the magical amount of years needed before my brain started to recover. I now have to very, very specifically remind myself to think about whether there is a solution to something, instead of just living life being annoyed by it. Took a long time to make that a habit - many decades.

Lots of posts on BP the last couple of days about expressions. It just occurred to me that I'm supposed to be bad at reading expressions since I'm autistic. But I can read this just fine. I had to think about this. This is more an expression that shows what someone is thinking vs feeling. It's the expressions showing what they are feeling that I have a hard time reading, I think. Ah, this is going to be something I will be ruminating on for a little while! Wondering about other autistic people who read this. What do you think?
Joanne Hudson 5 months ago (edited)
It has been my experience that you have to BE autistic to understand it. Everybody is different. I was never diagnosed, but nothing else explained me. I watch other people. I was raised oddly and feel that's where I got it. In almost total isolation. I never learned to play or how to talk to people. I saw my first children when I went to school. I was 34 when I learned I had a genius IQ. Just get better at watching, copying the good, winging it. I give directions like go down 3 traffic lights and turn one street after the DairyQueen.

I've long since given up on this. What I like to do (and can recommend, also for the psychological satisfaction of forcing my will upon the g*****n document), is: 1) Introduce a table with one cell in the desired place of the doc, 2) place the image in said table, 3) enjoy the view of the little sucker being trapped in place, 4) make the table's lines invisible. Works even better if you want to place two or more images ~next~ to each other.

Do you enjoy that chameleons only have two toes? What is your favorite method of problem solving? What was your favorite book as a kid? What is your favorite book now?
