The 'I Am Going to Go Now' meme is a staple of internet reaction culture, used to express a polite yet firm desire to leave an uncomfortable or bizarre situation. Featuring a simple character making a quick exit, the template perfectly captures the essence of social fatigue and the 'vibe check' gone wrong. It first gained significant traction in webcomic circles and quickly spread across social media platforms like X and Reddit. It is most commonly used when a conversation takes an unexpected turn, allowing users to signal their departure with a mix of humor and relatable awkwardness.
