Everybody has experienced an awkward moment or two. Sometimes, our insecurities get the best of us; other times, we make embarrassing mistakes. The important thing is that we shouldn’t take ourselves too seriously. Life does not need to be grim all the time; cut yourself some slack. Whether you are playing around at work or making the best out of a not-so-ideal situation, at times, it’s nice to let loose a little by making a joke at your own expense. We should all learn to appreciate the humorous moments we come across in our day-to-day. These Snapchat users did precisely that. Here is a compilation of self-ironic Snaps to remind you not to take life so seriously all the time.

They say beauty is in the eye of the beholder so we should not be comparing ourselves to external standards. This lady realized she looked nerdy even with the filter on, so she leaned into it.

And the result was hilarious. Self-deprecating humor can sometimes help you accept and acknowledge your faults without feeling negative about them. We should all aim to face our insecurities head-on with lightness.
