The 25 Year Old Sufferer

The 25 Year Old Sufferer deeply detached from reality appears perfectly ordinary to others addicted to the feeling of being a just soul tread upon by an unjust universe sense of individuality overwhelming strong, precludes all conformism melts at the slightest affection suffering is invisible, not like a physical deformity the price is too great knows nothing except pain “Haha.” hardened, but fears even greater suffering in time wakes sweating from the dreams, though he has long stopped remembering them fantasizes about being rewarded in the end for his longsuffering purity of self, this borders on a religion finds it hard to grasp that others live happy lives, fantasizes about a cataclysm that would introduce them to his suffering

A stark black-and-white illustration shows a distorted suffering face surrounded by descriptions of a 25-year-old who feels detached from reality, fears affection, and imagines his pain as a form of purity. The joke is an exaggerated parody of self-serious existential angst and romanticized suffering, used as a reaction to melodramatic introspection or someone acting like their sadness makes them uniquely profound.
