Does this photo [1] hit a little too close to home, especially during engagement season? If you can relate to the girl on the left, you're not alone. When you're solo, the floods of social media posts can get just as bad as all the annoying things people say to single women [2]. (Really, how many details do you have to hear — or see — about how the engagement happened before it gets old?) Don't let it get you down, though! It is a happy time, after all, so chin up — embrace your singledom [3], and have a laugh with these GIFs that tell it like it is. Ready, set, click!
