I always find comfort seeing memes like this and seeing that so many of us experience the exact same pains. It might sound obvious or stupid to others, but I've lived so "in my own head" for so long that it's easy to forget that actually, we're all capable of massively putting our foot in our mouths at times -- and more importantly, the cringe mistakes and faux pas of other people generally don't get chiseled into our brains in the way our own moments do.
Memes
Post memes here.
A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

Oh lord so true...
Maybe its not your brain but you? Why do you remember the bad and forget the good?
Here’s a weird take on this, is there some evolutionary reason for this?
the brain typically remembers things associated with strong emotional reactions, esp. negative reactions, presumably in order to remember your mistakes and not do them again.
Exactly. So it’s sad that the positive things don’t feature more strongly in our memories, just like the OP meme suggests.
