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.
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.

A friend tried to text me, "luv u" and it came out "luu u" so now that's our send-off - "luuuuu u!" We say it out loud. 😄
There's nothing more blissful than listening to a song AFTER getting over that bad time.
Just got back from two amazing weeks in the Caribbean, and every day starts knowing that I'm not there.
I don't want to be involved in work drama, but I sure want to hear all about it.
"Meat" made of something with no identifiable DNA and "Bread" that might qualify as bad cake?
Or you remember where it was you put the thing that you put away safely so you'd remember where you put it. Sigh.
I'm incredibly boring, so I don't hang out with anyone for their own good. They'd be incredibly bored. So if asked to go somewhere or do something, it's always no.
That is literally: 1. My dad 2. My friends 3. My dog (shes got a excuse, aka: being a happy lil floofy cutie)
I love and hate old trip photos. So many good memories, so sad it's not current!
I get kinda petty. " They didn't talk to me all day. They can wait til I wanna talk to THEM." Yeah, I know they were busy with work/school/family/whatever. Still petty. Lol
It's definitely ok to apologize for bad behavior. In fact, it's encouraged.
