"Nobody decides to become a meme. The internet decides that for you."

I can relate.

Do you still have people tag you in weird posts or pm you stupid stuff?

I don't mean to be rude, but don't you think that by posting "please tag me" in a meme subreddit, you did in fact explicitly ask to become a meme?

Do you regret it now?

It was never my intention to become a meme, but I don't regret it. Quite the fun experience for me.

I'm happy that you enjoy it.

There are some people who can role with this kind of thing, and some people who it really freaks out.
