If your well-being is reliant on the misfortune of another person
You need to re-evaluate yourself
Overview
This is a two-panel meme that uses the popular Jim Halpert presentation template from the US TV show The Office. In the top panel, Jim Halpert points to text written on a flip chart whiteboard that reads "If your well-being is reliant on the misfortune of another person". In the bottom panel, Jim looks directly at the camera with a knowing smile, next to the follow-up text that says "You need to re-evaluate yourself". The meme makes a point calling out people who get personal happiness or benefit from other people's bad luck and misfortune, encouraging them to examine their own problematic behavior.
Origin notes
This meme was posted as a Reddit meme with the original title "Let me just be real". It is based on the pre-existing two-panel Jim Halpert presentation meme template sourced from the US sitcom The Office, a popular template commonly used to share straightforward, thoughtful or funny takes on social topics.
