Welcome to 2meirl4meirl

Memes that are too dark for most. Post responsibly, cry collectively.

Rule 1: Respect the CommunityIf 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

  • No harassment
  • No bigotry (transphobia, racism, sexism, etc.)
  • Don’t be malicious

  • Makes posting lazy and easy
  • Lets people who don’t want this humor avoid it

  • 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.

I have my own little theory. The difference between confidence and ego.

Ego are things that you are: pretty, smart, strong, etc. They always are relative and can be disheartened for someone whose self esteem is built on ego to find someone who beats them at their chosen characteristic(s) (makes asking for help feel embarrassing). Additionally when you can't use your traits to easily overcome problems, it causes immense frustration. Leads to not wanting to take on challenges.

Confidence is built on what you do: volunteering at a community centre, political engagement, being nice and supportive, etc. Generally much more resilient and cool to meet people like you. Also problems that you can't easily overcome aren't a major issue (asking for help is fine). Leads into taking on challenges
