This meme uses a screenshot of Stewie Griffin from the animated series *Family Guy*. Stewie is shown sitting up in a large, empty bed with a deadpan, detached, and slightly melancholic expression. The top text overlay reads: "When i have to sleep in my own bed alone after sleeping skin to skin with my gf every night", and a secondary text label "Me:" points directly to Stewie, framing his demeanor as the embodiment of the relatable feeling of loneliness and discomfort after being accustomed to sleeping closely with a romantic partner.
