We can all use a helpful piece of encouragement now and then, whether said encouragement comes from a friend, family member, coworker, or … stranger on the internet? That’s the premise of a new-ish meme making its way around Twitter. The concept is fairly simple, a person simply tweets “I don’t know who needs to hear this,” followed by a piece of friendly (if not unsolicited) bit of advice.
Although it’s unclear exactly where the meme originated, it seems to have first started popping up around summer and fall of 2018 and then into early 2019, ranging from life-affirming, common sense-related or brutally honest pieces of advice, such as the following examples. Who said Twitter was all bad?
I don’t know who needs to hear this but…YOU GOT THIS BABYGIRL KEEP PUSHING🗣💪🏼✨

I don’t know who needs to hear this but you didn’t wipe good enough.

For what it’s worth, you probably didn’t wipe good enough, and I don’t know who needs to hear this but you can literally get a bidet on Amazon for like under 30 bucks.
At any rate, the meme seems to have picked up steam over the course of the past month or so. And people are starting to have fun with it—even if the “advice” offered is still actually pretty useful, in most instances.

Just update your LinkedIn already! Your dream job isn’t going to find itself.
Others are just using the meme to clearly subtweet themselves or others, especially when it comes to responsible decision making.
i don’t know who needs to hear this but you have food at home.

i don’t know who needs to hear this but stop closing out of twitter and then opening it back up immediately because you forgot you were just on it

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but you already have six blank notebooks at home.

And then some people are getting flat-out absurd with the meme—although honestly find me someone who doesn’t need to see this photo of Celine Dion and Will Smith at the 1991 American Music Awards. What a fashion-forward time to be alive!

And then there are examples like this one that no one needs to see, because who the heck out there is putting jelly on breakfast sandwiches? Maple syrup, maybe, but not jelly. (Also what kind of jelly?)
I don’t know who needs to hear this , but jelly 100 percent belongs on a TurkeyBaconEggNCheese Sandwich.

Say what you will about taking random advice to be found off of Twitter, but a psychiatrist typically costs at least $100 per hour, and as they say, this website is free.
