The internet is a great place for finding a community. Whatever your people, with a few clicks, you can come online and find people with which to share the world: whether it be through fandom or tv shows, through books, through politics, through gaming, through hobbies or, more likely through humour.

Given that so many of us have grown up online and, for the most part, massively overshare our experiences, it can be really nice to see that other people relate to your experiences—especially given the dark state of the world.  Probably this is why, regardless of our emotions, we end up sharing it online.

When we have good news, we share it with the world online: on the flip side, when we’re feeling down we doom scroll, which rarely makes us feel any better.  So, if you are in a good mood, it is probably better that you take advantage of it and get off your phone and go outside and embrace the day.

But if you’re in a low mood, this is the right place for you. Luckily the expression “misery loves company” is also true of the internet, and wherever you turn there is likely a joke based around it—so check them out below.

As a 90s kid, this hits hard.

No, but in yellow.

The one good thing about the pandemic is that it has given us an excuse not to go out!

The most effective birth control of all!

Realising jerks in high school had a point kind of hurt

"Honey I have never been chill in my life"

"Is this morgue by-appointment only?"

This would not be my opening line on a dating app but you do you!

This is what my face looks like when I scroll LinkedIn

This would vastly improve the ratings on the Ellen Show

We contain multitudes.

What if it's all just garbage?

Is forgetting middle school the only way to achieve inner peace?

Ticked it all off my to do list!

I felt this poem with my whole heart

Maybe this is why the unemployment rate is so high? Or maybe it's because the economy is shot and jobs only pay poverty wages

Awkward!

Each random pain brings me closer to death

Internet humour does not always translate to real-life humour

Bad thoughts but with flowers in the background!

When you get told to have "realistic dreams"

Hello, old friend!

"I'm not just a sharer, I'm also a creator"

I felt this deep in my bones

"Yes, I just want to make sure I am punished appropriately"

A death risk makes it all more fun!

There is a severe lack of emojis that represent being cool and also depressed

It sleeps next to a half eaten back of chips

"What took you so long?"

So long as you are self-aware about being alone!

Don't worry, I will never forget anything weird or uncomfortable I said to you and I will agonise over it

These posts are all fun and games but on a serious note; there is always somewhere you can go for help.

If you were not depressed before you read this, I am betting that you are now. But, thanks to all these memes, hopefully, you are smiling through the pain.

At least, through all of this, you can be sure that you are not alone, and you are never alone, and there is always somewhere that you can go for help. The world is a better place with you in it, especially if one of your many talents happens to be creating extremely relatable memes.
