A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

Not just "a group of people". This is me every holiday when I get together with my family.
"Hey little brother, what's going on in your life?"
"Well, I'm trying to get a home loan to....."
And that's when I realize my sister asked me that question purely to hear her own voice, and feel like she cares. But the second I say 2 words, I can see her eyes drifting, and her feet all but walk away.
These types of situations have been going on since I was 5.
One time my other sister noticed it happen in real time. And you could see the look on her face like "Awwww.....it's ok....."
Which felt worse than the abandonment of the conversation. That I expect. That's been going on over 30 years. What I didn't expect was to be made to feel like a charity case in my own family.
And then they ask why I don't spend more time with them. When none of them can even name a single one of my interests.
I don't understand why more people don't go no contact. Blood is meaningless when you have nothing that actually matters in common and the added layer that they don't actually know who you are and might treat you like crap.
I finally gave up and went no contact 8 years ago and it alleviated so much stress and frustration. Anything I think I miss I have realized is a fantasy that never would happen anyways.
