“people are really good at detecting deception. and when people are being inauthentic, that is easy for humans to detect” i think this sums it up really well. when people do stuff that’s fake, especially to a small audience, we can tell right away and it’s so cringey. but it’s common. everyone has things they want to hide. things they think might not fit the expectations of society or they don’t like. and they create a persona to hide that. so that’s why when we see genuinely authentic people, we gravitate towards them. become inspired. we like them.
Easily top 5 meme of all time.. my mans should be rich for allowing so many people to accurately express how they felt about something and making us all laugh. 😂
Brendan Cahalan since know your meme exists, this is the most ignorant comment. People really just sit on the internet and not actually use it for anything but mindless content, huh?
This is a true meme. It wasn’t something forced, it was just something people genuinely began using as a meme. Many people don’t seem to know the true meaning of a meme these days.
This is such an interesting phenomenon that very few people get to experience. It would be so bizarre to have people recognize your face globally from a meme lol. It’s interesting that he said it doesn’t feel like it’s him, I could definitely understand how that would be the case once the internet takes it to the extreme.

everyone has things they want to hide. things they think might not fit the expectations of society or they don’t like. and they create a persona to hide that.
