We’ve all had days that are like concentrated doses of Vitamin 2020. Horrible. Dysfunctional. And full of so many hilarious fails, we wonder if we should have our aura cleansed or visit an exorcist. Darn your sense of humor, Universe!

To perk up your spirits and make you feel better about where you currently are in life, Bored Panda has collected some of the most epic examples of people having worse days than you. Remember to upvote your fave pics and we’d love to hear about the funniest bad days that you’ve personally had, dear Readers. Sharing is great for bonding after all (and we could all use an extra good laugh or two).

Want some proof of how blessed your life is (even if we’re all stuck in the disaster that is 2020)? Have a scroll through our earlier posts about the legendary fails that made people definitely have a bad day right here, here, as well as here.

We wanted to learn more about dealing with mishaps, developing psychological resilience, and the power of humor, so Bored Panda contacted the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). Vasia Toxavidi, who is a counselor and an accredited member of the BACP, was kind enough to give us some detailed and in-depth insights. (If any of you dear Readers live in the UK and would like to speak to a counselor or psychotherapist about resilience, mental health, or emotional wellbeing issues, you can find specialists in your area right here.)

In an earlier interview, psychotherapist and author Amy Morin explained to Bored Panda that your mindset has a huge impact on how you process events. Whenever we focus on the idea that we’re victims and that everything ‘always’ goes wrong, we can get trapped in a negative, self-perpetuating emotional loop.

Fortunately, there’s a way out of this mental hole that we dig ourselves into. We need a healthy dose of realism instead of focusing just on the negatives (like getting our feet stuck in the bus door, plopping our phones into our bowls of instant noodles, and walking around with spinach between our teeth all friggin’ day long).

“You can train your brain to look for the good in the world and develop the mental strength you need to perform and feel your best,” psychotherapist Morin explained that we can start by taking tiny steps to turn our instinctive negative thoughts into a more realistic, positive framework for reacting to events.

Developing your sense of humor and having a more lighthearted perspective on life really are two very powerful weapons in your resilience arsenal. Sure, you might have gotten stuck in the doors of that bus, but if you look around and laugh at yourself instead of shuffling into a corner seat and casting down your eyes to hide your embarrassment, you’ll not only boost your mood, you can also make new friends along the way.

If nothing else, taking yourself less seriously will help keep you upbeat when your day seems worse than ours. And remember, nothing lasts forever. Not the good, not the bad.
