Memes can be far deeper than you think. They have the power to help us relate to complete strangers through comedy and shared experiences. At the end of the day, many of us have far more in common with each other than it seems on the surface. And these memes can touch on a variety of deeper issues, too, from burnout at work to exhaustion and general anxiety.

We’ve collected some of the freshest memes shared on the ‘Sarcasm Daily’ Instagram page to bring some laughter into your lives, dear Pandas. Scroll down, upvote your faves, and be sure to send them to your friends and colleagues. They could probably use a break from all that work and studying they’re doing!

If your content resonates with your audience on a deeper level, they’re more likely to stick around for more similar content. Not only that, but they’ll also be happy to share your posts with their social circle, too. And a meme that’s (re)shared and goes viral is a true meme, by definition.

Meanwhile, the memes themselves—aside from being comical and relatable—have very clear formats. The quicker your audience can grasp the message, the more likely the post can go viral.

That’s why it’s so important to create an overall sense of visual clarity and fluency. Ideally, the images are high-quality and to the point, while the text is short and uses a good font.

Some of the memes shared on ‘Sarcasm Daily’ deal with some pretty serious issues. Unfortunately, a lot of people find things like constant anxiety, dealing with seemingly never-ending exhaustion, and burnout at work to be relatable. In short, stress is something that many people deal with daily.

According to Psychologist Sherrie Bourg Carter Psy.D., the difference between stress and burnout is “a matter of degree.” The earlier you can recognize the signs of burnout, the better you’ll be at addressing the core issues. One of the main signs of burnout is physical and emotional exhaustion.

If you are feeling tired and lack energy most days, you’re likely on your way to chronic fatigue. Employees in the early stages of burnout also have trouble sleeping and concentrating, may fall ill more and more often, and might even lose their appetite. Some other symptoms of burnout include anxiety, depression, and anger.

Psychologist Bourg Carter notes that employees who are burning out tend to enjoy life less, become detached from the people around them, may be incredibly irritable, and feel hopeless. The knock-on effect is that they’re less productive at work.

There are no easy or quick solutions to chronic stress. But what you can do is prioritize self-care, focus more on your positive relationships, cut back on overwork and overtime, and begin creating healthy (well, healthier) boundaries between your work and your free time.
