This is a screenshot of a public X (formerly Twitter) post from user @shiraisinspired, whose display name notes that they have OCD and ADHD. The post contains a self-deprecating, relatable joke: when other people tell the poster they are very nice, the reason for that niceness is a constant, pervasive fear of making anyone upset with them at any point. The poster's profile photo, showing a smiling young woman wearing a beanie, is displayed next to the account details at the top left of the screenshot.

This meme shows Kris Jenner, the well-known matriarch of the Kardashian-Jenner entertainment family, sitting relaxed in a chair in a high-end home bar area. She has her legs propped up on the bar counter, holds a lemon-infused mixed drink in her right hand, and wears a very smug, self-satisfied expression as she looks at the camera. Overlaid large white text with black outline reads 'How life feels when I respond like a bitch and not a people pleaser', humorously conveying the satisfying, carefree feeling of stopping people-pleasing behavior and prioritizing one's own boundaries and comfort over others' expectations.

The image features an orange tabby cat sitting relaxed on a striped outdoor lounge chair against the backdrop of a grassy field under a warm pink and orange sunset sky. The cat is wearing a white cosmetic under-eye face mask, looking calm, unbothered, and slightly smug, with a glass of fizzy pink drink placed next to its paw. Overlaid white text reads two lines: 'There's no reason to be a people pleaser. People are never pleased.' The meme humorously pairs the cat's indulgent self-care routine with blunt, relatable advice about setting boundaries and not overexerting yourself to satisfy others, as it is impossible to make everyone happy all the time.

This image is a screenshot of a public tweet from verified X (formerly Twitter) user Sean Thomason. The tweet shares an absurdist humorous hypothetical scenario: the author wonders what extreme circumstance would ever make him yell at a restaurant server, joking that even if he ordered an omelette and was brought a bowl of rats instead, he would still politely apologize and suggest the rats were meant for another customer instead of getting upset. The joke pokes fun at common people-pleasing behavior and widespread sympathy for underpaid food service workers who are often subjected to unfair customer anger over minor mistakes.
