Many viral memes and social media posts point out the absurdity of life in a humorous way. But occasionally, you will encounter one that holds so much truth that you feel it sees right through you. 

You’ll likely get this vibe when you visit this page on X. Sure, you may snicker and giggle as you scroll through. But since these are also painfully accurate, you may also feel seen. 

The page covers everything, from 2 AM thoughts to working through lazy days and sleeping through problems that linger like dark clouds in your head. As usual, we’ve picked the ones you may relate to the most.

Since these posts convey harsh truths and “real talk” about daily life, here are a few more from licensed therapist and life coach Matthew Jones. In one of his articles for Inc., he compiled 20 “brutal” truths no one wants to admit. 

One that sticks out is that you likely hold yourself to an unrealistic standard, which can lead to suffering. This problem is common among perfectionists. 

“Fight back against that negative voice, amplify your intuition, and start challenging your unrealistic standards,” Jones wrote.

Many people rely on their natural talent to get by. However, it’s been repeatedly proven that talent alone won’t suffice. As Jones reminds us, talent without effort is meaningless. 

“Some of the most talented people in the world never move out from their parents’ basement,” he wrote. Let that sink in for a bit.

Many of us fail to live in the present. Either we ruminate about the past or worry about the future. But in one of Jones’ brutally honest reminders, the only time that matters is what is in front of you now. 

“You can’t control the past, and you can’t predict the future, and trying to do so only removes you from the one thing you can control—the present.”

It’s one thing to have ambition, but turning it into a reality (or just attempting to do so) is an entirely different conversation. In this case, Jones leaves us with a hard-hitting statement: “Ambition means nothing without execution.” 

“If you want to change the world, then go out there and do it!” he wrote. These could be your new words to live by.

Seen this before. Upvoted it again. Downvotes might be from people who are so self-centered they have lost their sense of humor. Some politicians come to mind.

I was born in the summer and have hated the season for 20-odd years now. Winter FTW, baby! (I mean, hey, if you're cold, you can always wear more clothes to keep warm - but if it's hot, you eventually run out of things you can take off...)

My friend tried multiple times to teach what she called 'Austrian Poker' but I just couldn't get it. Then there is the game mafia, which I might have understood, if I hadn't already been drinking every time my friends decided to play it

I had a professor like that in college. Always only 5 questions and he demanded we answer each on at least 2 pages.

Showering in the morning requires adding more time between getting up and leaving the house. Therefore, big NOPE from me ;P

Nah, I always get sweaty overnight so showering at night is pointless.

Both - coolish shower in the am to get me going and a nice warm one at night to wash the day off and get all sleepy

Oh thank goodness I'm not the only weirdo who does both! Quick pop into the cold in the AM to wake up; then a nice, long, warm shower in the PM to wash the day away.

Wish I could shower in the evenings, it would make mornings so much easier. I'm an incredibly hot sleeper and most nights I end up waking up over hot and sweaty (it's why I'm currently awake 😔). It's winter here, our bedroom isn't heated, I have the lightest weight duvet, natural fibres, no pyjamas... It drives me nuts. I do get cold when I first go to bed, so I must create the perfect little warm insulated cocoon around myself when first going to sleep

If it's a work day, at night. If it's my day off and I want to relax, then it's an anytime shower-bath-shower.

Always at night, and in the morning if I wake up covered in sweat. Unless I pass out, I refuse to go to bed without a shower.

I luxuriate in being in a water rich area. A loong hot shower in the morning and a fast wash/rinse after work.

I like to go to bed clean. I change the sheets on Thursday evening and always say it's the best night of the week - clean me and clean sheets.

I once held the view that Blue-Collar Man showers in the evening because what he does at work makes him dirty. White-Collar Man showers in the morning because what he does in bed makes him dirty. Now I don't see much difference.

My partner showers in the morning because he doesn't want to spend the day covered in sweat from the night. I shower in the evening because I don't like to roll around in the dirt I picked up during the day in my lovely bed. Personally I think you get dirtier when you're out in the world than when you're tucked up in bed. I could do both, but I suck at getting up and I have to do so really early for work. I'm taking that extra 10 mins for sleeping, thank you

Really depends on the time of year and plans i have. If it's really hot I will rinse myself off at night AND in the morning (no soap, just water). I shower with soap every other day, wash my hair with shampoo once a week. In the winter, I tend to shower in the morning as opposed to the evening, because it wakes me up when it's still dark outside. In the summer my shower sessions with soap are in the evening. (days I don't shower with soap I still clean my groin, pits and feet).

Couldn't live without my morning shower. Helps me wake up, hydrate a bit, and have a quiet moment to contemplate my day. Also, I know I'm as clean as can be before I head out for work, etc.

But what if I want to have to wash the sheets 3 times as often?
