The recent online wave labeled “having some feelings (OC)” has sparked quite the reaction across social media platforms. Autobiographical comics seem to have hit just the right note to resonate with a whole bunch of folks. Somewhere between adorable and painfully relatable, these comics have drawn countless eyes and rekindled familiar emotions among viewers. That instant connection keeps bringing people back, even as they scroll through endless posts.



It all kicked off when a simple yet poignant comic illustrated the often-overlooked battles of everyday life—the small struggles that everyone knows but rarely talks about. It was just one comic, but it hit home for a great many, quickly becoming a touchpoint as others began sharing their own versions, flipping through their feelings and experiences, each panel echoing relatable truths. The organic growth of this conversation felt unmistakably real, with people joining in, all sharing that sense of “Wow, I totally get it.”

As the comic spread, the comment sections lit up like a holiday tree, illuminated with shared stories and warm confessions. Familiar phrases like “same” or “this is me” kept popping up, creating a sense of camaraderie. It’s fascinating how such simple lines can evoke laughter, tears, or even a quiet nod of understanding—everyone brought their own baggage with them while connecting over this shared space. As if, in this moment, everyone was openly wearing their hearts on their sleeves, sharing similar feelings of vulnerability.

The emotional response ran deep, with many engaging in discussions about mental health, nostalgia, or the weight of small moments that oft
en get passed over. There’s a bittersweet quality to it—hints of sadness under layers of humor that make the whole situation even more layered. Everyone seems to feel slightly exposed, almost as if these comics were holding a mirror reflecting tightly held sentiments back at them. Yet that reflection doesn’t always come with closure. The feelings linger, the conversations flow on, leaving a sense of poignancy hanging in the air, leaving people wanting to dive deeper into their own emotions they can’t quite put into words.
