The Relief meme category encompasses a wide range of reaction images used to express the physical and emotional sensation of a burden being lifted. These memes typically represent the universal 'phew' moment after a period of intense stress or a narrow escape from a bad situation. Popularized across social media platforms like Reddit and X (Twitter), formats like the 'Satisfied Seal' or exhausted cinematic characters have become the global standard for users to communicate the feeling of finally being able to breathe again after a significant challenge.
