We have been indulging in self-mockery for far too long now, and it looks like we are loving it even more with each passing day. Remember when Chandler said to himself “What’s wrong with me? Ooh don’t open that door”, and we all had a good laugh over it. Why do you think we found it so genuinely funny? It is because we could relate to him, it is because he spoke our minds out loud.
Have you ever wondered that your Instagram can become your personal Chandler, because it too will serve you with punches that indulge in self-mockery and I assure you, you will be resisting hard from resharing/reposting them on your feed, leave alone going “hahahaha this is so me!!!”.
Hit the follow button to some of the Instagram handles if you haven’t already.
