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.

Are you listening, YouTube? Why can't I listen while reading my email without paying $70 a month. Bandits.

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

First off.. I clearly took a wrong turn at Albuquerque if I ended up in the nudist part of Zootopia. So I am looking at my map and figuring out how to course correct.

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

Think, the biggest thing stopping us from doing this is probably common decency. And the lack of a crazy enough theoey. Because those cult-followers make it look sooooo easy 😅

I think its funny how adults living with there parents think they have the right to treat it as if they pay the taxes on it. You dont get to invite people over because you are an adult. you want to do that, GTFO.
