The 'I Wish I Was At Home / They Don’t Know' meme features a crude Wojak character standing alone at a party, feeling alienated from the dancing crowd. Originally surfacing as 'I Wish I Was At Home' in late 2009, the format evolved significantly into the 'They Don't Know' variant around 2020 on Twitter. It perfectly encapsulates feelings of social anxiety, imposter syndrome, or the pride of having a secret, niche identity that others in a social setting wouldn't understand. Users typically customize the thought bubble to highlight obscure hobbies, internet accomplishments, or the simple desire to be anywhere else but a loud social gathering.
