Welcome to 2meirl4meirl
Memes that are too dark for most. Post responsibly, cry collectively.
Rule 1: Respect the Community
If you’re not into self-deprecating, dark, or suicidal humor, this isn’t the place for you. Kindly block and move on. This is just how some of us cope
Rule 2: Respect One Another
We’re here to laugh through the pain, not to make it worse.
- No harassment
- No bigotry (transphobia, racism, sexism, etc.)
- Don’t be malicious
Rule 3: Title Requirement
All post titles must be 2meirl4meirl.
- Makes posting lazy and easy
- Lets people who don’t want this humor avoid it
Rule 4: No Forbidden Formats
The usual stuff applies:
- No spam
- No illegal content
- No porn or explicit content
- NSFW content must be properly tagged
If you see a post that breaks the rules, please report it.
Otherwise post your memes, share your pain, and salute your fellow sadpeeps

Yeah they just kinda fucked us up. Not only does it make kids less likely to develop resilience to challenges when you single them out and praise them for being ‘smart,’ it ties their self worth to being ‘smart’ and doing things easily. Kids who are praised for their hard work and effort, on the other hand, tend to do better long term because they internalize what is valuable about them isn’t immediately understanding things or having it come easily, but the persistence to do it even when it’s not easy.
100%. Thanks for putting this into words.
Yeah... I wasn't even that smart. I just have really good reading comprehension and recall stuff I've read. Since like everything in school was memorization based it was pretty easy for me to do well enough to get by without trying too hard. If I actually had to apply knowledge though I was average at best. I figure most shit out just by being stubborn and ramming my head into the wall until I break through. Which doesn't help when it's something I don't actually want to do. The transition into college was rough.
