10 Memes Only People With Anxiety Will Understand

There are so many people across the globe who deal with anxiety on a day to day basis. I, myself, deal with anxiety every now and then. And the sad part is that most of us don't even know the main reason for having it. While a nerve-racking incident can cause nearly anyone to have anxiety, there are multiple people who have anxiety out of nowhere. There usually isn't a solid reason for it. It shows up like an unwanted "friend" showing up to your house and wanting to chill. That's how we feel about anxiety, that one friend who does nothing but put you down.

No matter how many times we deal with our frustrating anxiety, there are moments where we just have to laugh it off. Laugh it off and act like it's not bothering us. Reminisce on the ridiculous moments where anxiety literally took control for no reason at all. And frankly, laughing at our anxiety can help us cope with it more. For a good laugh, these are the funniest memes only people with anxiety will understand.

Anxiety basically persuades you into believe anything.

Having anxiety plays a massive role in assuming that something bad will happen. Assume that something will happen about anything and you can't stop it from getting into your thoughts! You try so hard to believe that nothing will happen, no matter how many fuckin' times your anxiety is opposing you.

But then the anxiety gets the best of you and you ride that train. You're riding the train with your anxiety and going wherever it's telling you to go. So when your thoughts are constantly nagging you to believe that something will happen, you eventually give in. But don't allow it!

Blaming Yourself for Having Anxiety

From the memes only people with anxiety will understand, this one is hilarious. We can never promise not to have anxiety. In the midst of getting ready for a party, you promise yourself 200 times that you won't get anxious. And then the worst thing happens—you remember a horrible thing that you said to someone years ago and that person will be at the party.

Boom, instantly feeling anxious. Then you just look in the mirror, completely disappointed in yourself. After the 200 times of telling yourself that you won't feel anxious, your anxiety brings a bad memory into your mind.

I literally love this one, and it cracks me up every time. Among the best memes only people with anxiety will understand, this one is comedy gold. Whenever you're suddenly feeling anxious, it's so easy to feel left out, too. And it's hard to communicate with your group in the midst of being really anxious.

So, you basically end up looking like this half-assed Charmander who's trying his best to fit in with his buddies. Trying to act cool like nothing wrong is going through your head. I feel you Charmander, it's the anxiety, I know.

You're assuming people are constantly talking about you.

Even when you know so damn well that there is no reason for anyone to be talking behind your back while walking by them, your anxiety will make you believe that they are. They laugh and whisper, and you'll instantly think that it's you they're whispering about. But what are they possibly saying about you when you know you did absolutely nothing wrong?

No worries, your anxiety will give you the answer to that. The anxiety will give you a clear explanation for them chuckling behind your back. Maybe there's a rip in your pants? Or your hair looks awful today. You know that they aren't talking about you, so your anxiety can't say shit!

When You Can't Explain Why You're Feeling Anxious

From the memes only people with anxiety will understand, this one couldn't be any more accurate. People always ask me, "What are you so anxious about?" There's actually no solid explanation for that question. Anxiety just happens. It comes and goes whenever it feels like it. It comes during moments like watching TV and even when I'm out partying.

So, whenever someone asks someone why they have anxiety... no answer. Even my anxieties have anxiety. Just like what the woman is saying in the meme; it all doesn't make sense.

Are your friends really your friends?

Wait... are your friends really your friends? That's probably what your anxiety tells you constantly whenever you're hanging out with them. It'll put things like "they hate you" into you mind, trying to make you believe that your friends aren't your true friends and they pretty much despise you.
