The 'How People View Me After I Say I'm...' meme is a viral social media trend that explores the gap between reality and the dramatic stereotypes associated with specific labels. Often featuring high-contrast 'Sigma' imagery or intense character reaction shots like those of Patrick Bateman or Homelander, the meme highlights how stating a simple fact—like being a programmer, a certain star sign, or a gamer—can trigger an exaggerated perception in others. It gained massive traction on TikTok and Instagram as a way for users to ironically embrace the 'cool' or 'villainous' archetypes people project onto them, often blending self-deprecation with a sense of hidden power.
