Sorry, I’m at the beach

Text on the meme

I'm scared. I want to hurt myself Sorry. At the beach.

What it means

A text-message exchange shows someone saying they are scared and want to hurt themselves, followed by a cheerful selfie of a bald man smiling on a sunny beach with the reply, “Sorry. At the beach.” The joke is the absurdly casual misinterpretation of a serious statement as an excuse for being unavailable, making it useful as a darkly humorous reaction to ignoring someone’s distress.
