While there’s nothing funny about struggling with your mental health, sometimes people with social anxiety use humor to share how they’re feeling in a funny and relatable way.

Sometimes, sending a funny social anxiety meme can explain to a friend why going out is hard for you. Sometimes humor can be used to commiserate with others about frustrating realities of your condition. Other times, seeing a funny meme can just let you know you aren’t the only one feeling this way.

Whatever your situation may be, humor can definitely be a powerful coping tool. 

If you use humor to cope with your social anxiety, here’s a roundup of some memes that might make you chuckle.
