Memes can also make it easier to convey messages that you might not be able to find the right words for. If you’re struggling with mental health issues or simply having a rough week, you can easily communicate that to your friends or colleagues by sharing a photo of an exhausted-looking cat captioned “Mood,” rather than having to detail all of the reasons why you’re not feeling like yourself today.
Blanchfield also notes that memes often allow us to feel seen. It’s easy to get in your head and assume that you’re the only person who has ever experienced what you’re feeling at that moment. But if you see a relatable meme online with thousands of likes, it can be a great reminder that you’re not alone. And even if you are struggling, what you’re feeling is normal and will pass. Don’t be scared to share those memes with your friends. They might open up important conversations, and you may even realize that you have more in common than you previously thought.
