I don't get it.
Those are grippy socks. They're often given to patients when they're admitted to hospital. Over the past few years they've become synonymous with being admitted to a mental health ward.
The meme is saying that they're afraid of being honest to their therapist because their therapist might admit them to a psych ward against their will.
Psych Ward Socks | Know Your Meme. A version of the meme I posted is even used in there as an example, funnily enough.
Never heard or seen this. Where did that get synonymous?
No idea when it picked up, but my younger sibling refers to them as "grippy sock vacations"
bruh in my country they offer those at trampoline parks 💀
Same in Canada. They also glow under black light, because the entire park goes dark on certain days and hours
They do that in the US, too.
Was about to say that I have 1.5 pairs at home
Lmao yeah, they mean I have to take my kids to one of those
Ooooohhh i see, thanks for clarifying :)
And yes, i would never be 100% honest to my therapist about what goes on in the back of my head. 🧠😅
I didn't know, we just had to bring our own socks and crocs. Was funnier that way tho, one kid had mouse shoes larger than his legs.
Those are the free socks you get when arriving at the funny farm.
They take away your shoes and give you grippy socks like that when you go to a mental hospital.
Count me in and I went to therapy.
