Twitter’s ‘Hurt Me’ Meme Reaches Unexpected Level of Sadness

August 22, 2018

Twitter’s new viral meme, that has become known as ‘hurt me’ started off as an innocent example of a conversation between two people who enjoy slighter *kinkier* sex. However, as people across Twitter started to join the bandwagon for this trend, things started to get very dark, very quickly.

Some examples of the meme are quite funny, but some have shown a new level of sadness, as people technically rip themselves apart in this one-man version a couple’s dialogue. I get it’s called the ‘hurt me’ meme, so maybe people thought that they might as well define it with what hurts them most, but some of these are pretty close to home, that I’m actually getting second-hand ‘hurt me’ sadness. But let’s start with the lighter, funnier ones…

*during sex*

Me: i want you to hurt me

Her: i don’t like the movie Ratatouille

Me: what

Her: yeah its kinda cute but I just can’t stop thinking about the fact an actual rat is touching everyone’s food, like that breaks tons of health violations & its super gross

Me: stop

See? Pretty funny, and very relatable. However, the meme escalated pretty quickly and although these people have used the meme to express the true thoughts that we all have throughout the day, some of these may be worth having therapy over…

me during sex: hurt me

them: you were never that smart you just were good at reading as a child so you were given special attention and it gave you a complex

me: wait-

them: you don’t try at school because youre convinced ur natural intellect will save you but u don’t have it

me (during sex): hurt me

him: you cat doesn’t actually love you, it’s just a set of survival tools evolved to elicit sympathy

me: wait-

him: if you died in your apartment right now your cat would wait maybe a few hours before starting to eat your soft tissues

me: please stop

[during sex]

me: i want you to hurt me

him: you want love but the moment someone expresses even an ounce of affection you go bolting in the opposite direction

me: wait

him: you have so many emotional barriers you don't let people get close enough to you to love you

me: stop

Anybody else feeling a pit of despair inside after reading these? I really hope these aren’t real examples of what people have experienced during an intimate time with their partner. Although, this is the one that really hit me where it hurts…

*during sex*

Me: hurt me

Them: you never believed One Direction would come back in 18 months

Me: wait no-

Them: You constantly try to convince others that they’ll come back someday but really you’re trying to convince yourself cause a part of you doubts it too

Me: pls stop

Please One Direction, stop my doubts and make me feel happy again. I definitely need it after the emotional scarring caused by these tweets.
