Facebook's "On This Day" feature is both a blessing and a curse. Sometimes, the memories they bring up are really happy things, and other times they have you cringe so hard you almost break your face. There's a mix of reactions everyone has when Facebook brings your memories up, and they can be easily expressed through GIFs.
1.
The first reaction is the "I miss that" reaction. Maybe it was an old birthday party or school event, maybe it was a post about old friends. Whatever the occasion, the post or photos that came up have you feeling pretty nostalgic.
2.
This can be the reaction to several types of posts. It could be reactions to an unhappy time in your life (cough, cough, high school), specific events (cough, cough, applying to colleges), or to all of the cringy posts from your awkward middle school phase.
3.
This is the face that comes up whenever your old shady posts come up. Who was this about? Why was I so mad? Why was I stressed? Why did I take to Facebook to solve the problem? So many questions.
4.
This is the classic "why was I the way that I was?" reaction. This is the face when your awkward, trying-to-be-funny posts come up. Maybe they were made in a status generation or maybe you were just trying to be funny Either way, it's random and gross and incredibly embarrassing.
5.
Even if your old posts are awkward and cringy, they're still from small you. They have their own way of being cute, but you still wouldn't want anyone to see them.
Embrace the awkward!
I, for one, am one to share my weird or awkward Facebook posts. It can be fun to share the joke every once in a while. That being said, there are some posts that are so weird I wouldn't show my closest friends. Hopefully you all can relate.
