A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

When you hear your parents and sibling arguing in the house, and quickly take your phone out and open the dialer app "just in case"
Honestly feel this... Will say for how much being a teenaged girl sucked I did learn the power of gaslighting and peer pressure which helped a lot. My dad and mom were always brawling with my sister and after it got used on me by my peers I realized since my dad was a momma's boy I could always threaten to tell my grandma, my mom was a religious nut so I could always bring up the devil and as long as I rearranged their arguments as "you're the crazy person" they couldn't figure out how to say shit back and would go away. I mean....still got bullied in winterguard, but weirdly helped my home life.
(If you want to know my sister unfortunately died at 30 of natural causes, I'm practically NC with my dad and my mom found a religious cult who helped her with anger management so we're mostly cool now + she's no longer in the cult cause one of them claimed to curse her with a demon so worked out somehow...)
You tryina call CPS on your parents? Must be bad 💀
Welcome to the world of being an Indigenous Canadian teen in a non-Indigenous city in the 1990s ..... where you either get wrongly arrested, or you develop a sixth sense for the police
For me it's the sound of the garage door opening.
This. You know your solitude is about to be broken.
That's my childhood in a meme.
every time I hear a old shitty truck engine rattle up near where I'm at, and hear the doors open and slam shut. fucking panic attack city.
I feel like the majority of people's default response to abuse is fear and/or submission. My much older brother was like that too.
I on the other hand always had anger and survival instinct instead, and remember even as a kid planning on how to use a knife in case it was needed, and going for the neck, or how to maybe escape a machete. Even being beaten nearly to death didn't stop me from doing what I wanted, and if anything only make my anger stronger then.
I wonder what determines how one will be? At least in my anecdotal data, it seems to be genetic. But then, why is most people's reaction to abuse fear and/or submission? Could it be thousands of years of human history, where conquering, enslavement, and pillaging led to an increased survival rate of the quiet ones passing down this trait? I'd imagine in much more ancient times, aggression against aggressors would have been more likely to have led to death after all than complacency.
And is this why we see less and less revolutions now as well, in part? Why society has become more tolerable against oppressors and injustices?
Idk. Just random thoughts had while sleepy on a really late night.
:/
Can relate.
