self-deprecating

It's pretty common knowledge that you can't receive help unless you really, really want it. So paying a ton of money for a therapist CAN be a total waste of money if you're not going into it with a receptive and, uh, productive mindset. These tweets represent everyone who is not quite ready to deal with their demons. Everyone who hides behind netspeak and dumb humor, when maybe, just maybe, they should be actually trying to get help. But damn, this sh*t is funny.

Many of the viral tweets we see on Twitter are pretty predictable in their subject matter. Women roasting men. Men roasting women. Parents either complaining about their childrens' antics or making up stories about how smart they are. People of all ages complaining about the relatable agony of being alive. While these amusing tidbits are well and good, there are spicier and less predictable Twitter gems out there, just waiting to be enjoyed. While you can find many of them on the oft-offensive r/HolUp, we've carefully selected some of the best (and slightly more SFW) examples for your convenient consumption. It's not much, but it's honest work.

2020 has not been a good year for people who already suffer from depression and anxiety. Imagine feeling worried and alone your whole life and then a literal plague hits. Not cool. Others might be experiencing dark feelings and moods swings for the first time because of the state of the world, and we totally get it. We've got a big bunch of painfully relatable memes and tweets about living with depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, and general misery. If you've ever been stuck in a dark, mental rut, then these memes will surely resonate with you.

We're all a bit hard on ourselves sometimes, but some have a gift for totally roasting themselves with spicy deep cuts. But hey, at least these poets of self-deprecation are good at something. We've got a bunch of hilariously sad instances of people cleverly owning themselves in the comments. These self-hating internet comedians deserve a little respect.

If you're miserable and you know it, look at memes. If you're miserable and you know it, look at memes. If you're miserable and you know it, and you really can't be bothered to show it, if you're miserable and you know it, look at memes. The more depressing and self-deprecating the better.

2021 ain't shaping up to be much better than 2020. If you're feeling glum, withdrawn, or straight up depressed, there's only so many things that can help you. Fortunately for anyone with an internet service, there's plenty of funny crap to enjoy as a distraction. We've put together some relatable and stupid memes to make browsing for humor a little more convenient. They may not be the best memes of all time, but they're definitely worthy of your perusal. 

While it hasn't been the most boring week in history (insurrection, Donald Trump banned from Twitter, Covid-19), we're willing to bet that some of you are still feeling the undeniable weight of monotony on your shoulders. To help temper the tedium we've put together this smorgasbord of memes and tweets that are worthy of a light chuckle. Some of them are relatable. Some of the memes are stupid. But they're all a solid way to keep yourself busy during these bleak times.

Twitter hasn't really stopped memeing in the last week, but we're pretty glad that this popular joke has nothing to do with Covid-19, its vaccine, or politics. This trend uses an image of a soul living a human body, and the fun really started when @KingCrustacean shared it last Wednesday. Their caption deals with the plight of ADHD sufferers, and reads "The ADHD leaving my body when my mom tells me to "Get a planner." 

Many of the memes deal with the incredibly unhelpful advice people give people with depression, ADHD, or anxiety - but some of them instead roast peoples' own hypocrisy. Like when your atheism leaves your body when a plane flies into some turbulence - or when your car starts hydroplaning. Both themes have resulted in some Grade A twitter memes. And we've collected the very best examples right here for you.

If you're a fan of self-deprecating humor you'll absolutely love these brutal self-owns from r/suicidebywords. The subreddit is dedicated to people who go out of their way to mock themselves, sometimes to extremely dark results. We've put together some of their freshest masochistic tidbits, but there's loads more where these come. And they bring the pain.

Now that we're in the dead of winter (prime SAD season) we need all the dopamine we can get. One way to get those feel-good chemicals buzzin' is by scrolling through memes. And these relatable and weird tidbits of comedy definitely fit the bill. From strange memes about evolution to sadly self-deprecating humor, this humble offering should make you feel better, at least for a little while.

If you're bored and looking for a little relatable humor, Twitter's a godsend. The only problem is that there's really no way to separate the good from the bad on that website. That's where we come in. To save your eyes from the dismal posting, we've put together this gallery of tweets that range from ultra-relatable to slightly cursed and clever. And if you're craving more Twitter tidbits? We've got you covered.

Hello there, internet friend. Are you feeling blue? Maybe you're going through a tough breakup or you've had enough of being single? Or maybe you're just sad for no damn reason. Sometimes you wake up on the depressing side of the bed and decide there's nothing better to do than just lie there and wallow. Well how about some painfully relatable self-deprecating memes to keep you company? We might not be able to break the sadness spell, but we can always offer some good ol' reliable memes! These funny tidbits also serve as a reminder that we've all been there, you're not alone, and this too shall pass.

Ever take a step back from your life and wonder if you're just doing it wrong? It's easy to feel that way when you compare yourself to your parents. Many of us deal with these feelings, especially if we've surpassed the age at which our creators decided they were ready to bring life into this godforsaken world. A new Wojak comic meme completely excels at utilizing this theme, and the results are our favorite kind of self-deprecating humor. The meme basically compares what our parents were doing (making commitments, investing in the future) with what we're doing at that age. The punchline is that in 2020, we're doing shit that's way less mature. You know, making mistakes like eating pills of the ground or infantilizing ourselves with phrases like "I'm baby." While some of these memes hit home pretty hard, a couple of them are great reminders that progress is possible. It's also important to remembe that the world was a different place when our parents were our age. It's always better to focus on one's self and the possibilities we do have. 

Some people turn to wholesome memes or cute pictures of animals when they're depressed. Others try to unplug altogether. We here at Memebase sometimes prefer the "lean in" approach, instead choosing to scroll through memes that depict the shitty feelings we have perfectly. Sometimes you have to wallow a little to feel better.

These memes are for everyone who is miserable and not afraid to show it. For the downtrodden and depressed, the people who are somehow keeping it together for people other than themselves. The people who suffer through the trying routines and constant agony of existence. We see you. And you're not alone. These memes serve as proof.
