Self-deprecating memes have become a virtual love language. They help us to collectively cope with the woes of adulthood, our existential crises, and that one embarrassing thing we said or did 10 years ago that still haunts us in the shower...

One of the best parts is that they don't discriminate. They call out everyone from the introverts masquerading as extroverts, the procrastinators who said they'd "start the project early," and the emotionally unavailable, chronically tired, overthinking underachievers. These types of memes turn our insecurities into comedy gold. They somehow leave us feeling called out and roasted, yet a bit better about our flaws, all at the same time.

There's a whole corner of the internet dedicated to self-deprecating memes that hit a little too close to home. "I Feel Personally Attacked By This Meme" has more than 502,000 followers, all wallowing in a pool of self-pity while laughing at themselves instead of crying.

Bored Panda has put together a list of the best posts from the page for you to scroll through while you secretly berate yourself for that thing you thought nobody knew about you. They're a random mix of painfully relatable memes, and many feel like holding up a mirror. We also explore why self-deprecating humor can be a good thing. You'll find that info between the images.

While some people believe we shouldn't talk down to ourselves, there are others who say a bit of self-deprecation (when done right) is great for our mental health. There are even experts who swear by it.

Like Karen Chambre, a psychotherapist with over 40 years of experience. Chambre says she often integrates self-deprecating humor into her sessions with clients.

"Self-deprecating humor reflects people’s flaws, allowing for vulnerability, introspection, identification, and entertainment. When self-deprecating humor is executed well, emotions can be regulated, trust can be established, and connection can be fostered," writes the therapist.

Chambre believes that this type of humor serves as a tool for us to recognize and embrace our flaws and imperfections with warmth and compassion.

    That's not when I'm sleepy. If I go to bed 8 hours before I want to wake up, I will lie there for 2-3 hours before falling asleep. I have to settle for 5-6 hours with one or two 10–15-minute naps throughout the day, if I can squeeze them in.

    According to the U.K. Therapy Guide, joking about our flaws and imperfections can be healthy. Self-deprecating humour signals high emotional intelligence, helps us diffuse awkward situations, and appeals to a sense of modesty and humility that many of us search for, notes the site. But it adds that this only applies when self-deprecating humor is used in moderation.

    "When self-deprecating humour becomes a reflex and stems from feelings and inadequacy and self-loathing, it can be detrimental to your mental health," warn the experts.

    I make pad thai myself so I can eliminate the things I am allergic/intolerant to. It never costs anywhere near $45, so maybe I'm just eliminating the expensive stuff. Also, if making it yourself you usually are making more than one serve.

    Yup. This is me. I've been putting off tidying some of the junk in the spare room because on the top of the pile is my old dot matrix printer (Panasonic KX-P1180). I am safe right now because it's too much bother to walk the ten steps into the other room, but the moment I have it in my hands a huge rabbit hole will emerge (or maybe a sink hole) and let's just say there's an unopened USB to parallel cable on the bookshelf and I think I can get spare ink ribbons from Amazon.... So the sensible thing to do is quietly close the door and simply pretend the junk isn't there. [rinse and repeat for dozens of other bits of ancient tech; like that Acorn Electron]

    Being able to poke fun at ourselves can also be good for our relationships. According to the experts over at Verywell Mind, people are generally more drawn to others who can laugh at themselves and not take life too seriously.

    "By making light of your quirks, you can show that you are comfortable in your skin and less judgmental of the flaws in others," notes that site, adding that it may help boost your likeability and build stronger relationships with others.

    The Verywell Mind team says that self-deprecating humor is a great way of expressing the unique and different aspects of your personality. It signals confidence, and helps you show others who you truly are and how you feel.

    *grammar. Putting "lol" in your post doesn't actually make it funny, by the way. One other point: scammers often put spelling and grammar mistakes in phishing text in order that they don't waste time trying to scam people who are intelligent enough to see them for what they are. If you're not sharp enough to spot the errors, you're more likely to be vulnerable to scams. Understanding spelling and grammar is a GOOD thing.

    However, many experts warn that there's a thin line between seeing yourself with gentle humor and being self-demeaning or negative.

    Poking fun at yourself is only beneficial if you are viewing your flaws or mistakes with kindness, if it allows you to see how embarrassing or difficult situations can be funny, or if it involves being able to laugh at yourself without veering into putting yourself down.

    I just went and voted in my state's Special Election today. I realized I hadn't gotten my mail-in ballot, so I had to go vote in person. I got in line and saw on the poster that you had to turn in your mail-in ballot in order to vote in person. But I didn't HAVE a ballot. I had no idea what to do. Stood there in line silently panicking. My brain whispered, "But I'm just a KID...." ....I'm 43 XD

    U.K. Therapy Guide suggests that how you receive compliments can be a good indicator of whether you use self-deprecating humour in a damaging or healthy way.

    "If you’re quick to make fun of yourself, but when someone makes you a compliment and you feel uncomfortable accepting it, you may have self-esteem issues, and you should try to use self-deprecating humour less," notes the site. "Otherwise, those jokes can slowly affect your mental health, making you look at yourself from a negative perspective."

    I do not like being tickled and can get quite angry if the tickler continues. Plus, I tend to react so quickly to being tickled that I've hurt people. I reflexively elbowed someone so hard they couldn't catch their breath. Failure to heed the warning can result in injury.

    Another good gauge is to how others react to your self-deprecating jokes. The less laughter, the more likely you've veered onto the path of negative self-talk. It may be time to check yourself, cautions U.K Therapy Guide.

    "If nobody laughs at your jokes and you get concerned looks and an awkward silence instead, you should take a note of that and reflect on why your joke made people uncomfortable," the site notes. "This also applies when friends tell you that your self-deprecating jokes have gone too far and that you should think better of yourself."

I followed the guys back to their truck and apologized on my mother's behalf (she is nasty to EVERYone, from retail employees to fast-food workers.) The younger guy laughed and said "It's okay, I like her attitude, she's funny, like George Lopez!" No, my dude. No, she is not funny XD She ACTUALLY believes the nasty things she's saying, she's NOT joking.

When I was a pup adults were always bleating "schooldays are the happiest days of your life". Thank goodness that turned out to be wrong. Edit: well it appears that the alleged grown ups are out in force and downvoting someone who doesn't deserve it. But thanks for proving my point

    When I took our 14 yr old sedan in for an LOF i told them I know it needs a flex pipe and the Ebrake doesn't work. Our usual service guys and techs retired. Everything else is solid. and maintained. Came out with a quote of over $3k in repairs on a vehicle with a trade in value of maybe $1500. Engine is seeping. Yeah, if there isn't drips or a puddle under it after this many years I'm not fixing it. I told him "I'll have my husband call you" we didn't.

    The amount of people in these comments who are actually treating this meme - a joke - as an actual legitimate complaint is ridiculous. Unless you have some sort of condition or learning disability, it really isn't hard to figure out what someone means when they say "19 months". C'mon. You aren't *that* stupid.

    If it's more than 12, they're one year. If it's more than 24, they're two years. People say "months" because the baby's development is much faster than a child's.

    This is exactly why there are traffic jams in these situations - there is always someone who wants to get in as late as possible after passing everyone else, causing everyone who has followed the rules to slow down to let them in. Zipper merges can and do prevent this from happening, but there are always going to be a-holes out there who think they are more important than everyone else.

    My daughters were very different. One would say 'Not much', one would say 'Oh, the usual stuff', and the chatty one would take me through the entire day in real time.

    My sister was the "not much" type, while I wanted to talk about each class in real time 😄

    "Baking" and "getting baked" .... My daughter uses those expresions. Are those euphemisms for something?

    I had a dream that a bunch of stationaries and an illuminati triangle were trying to k**l each other. Someone enlighten me on what the meaning could possibly be.

    Moving out at 18 to live alone is a pipe dream... Group housing situation with 11 others where you have to share a bedroom and the rest of the house. Better to stay home until you're 25 and save up money... So you can live with only 3 roommates. I rented (from 24yplo) until I was 36 and then put a deposit on a small house. Mortgage finally paid off 20 years later...

    I wish I had paid extra on my mortgage when I first bought my house. It would be paid off by now.

    I got an ultimatum yesterday that either I become our house maid and stay at home or get kicked out once I finish 11th grade because I’ve essentially failed every single test I’ve attempted this year. The sooner I can kms the better lol

    Big hugs Stardust dear. They're probably just trying to scare you into studying harder (regardless of how hard you are actually studying. Sometimes parents are not very bright)

    Trust me, going to the right is just fine if you find a place you like. Our a/c condenser went out and they had to replace the entire unit and furnace. My mom had to do hers 6 months earlier and it was over $6k. She knew it was coming but now she needs a new roof.

    What child leaves home at 18, my eldest at 28 is still at home, one of my daughters is renting and one has almost paid off her house, she's 25, my youngest at 15 has told me she will never be moving out and that is fine by me
