Genius friend gives advice when I'm sad

This meme depicts a relatable sarcastic scenario. The top text sets up a conversation: when you tell your friend you are sad, they give the generic, unhelpful advice of 'omg don't be sad!'. The following image is an edited version of Edvard Munch's famous painting *The Scream*, where the famously distressed central figure is altered to be giving two enthusiastic thumbs up, with over-the-top fake excitement. The text below the painting reads 'My goodness what an idea! Why didn't I think of that before!', expressing heavy sarcasm at how useless the friend's advice is, mocking the fact that simply being told not to be sad does nothing to fix actual sadness.
