The Trust Nobody, Not Even Yourself meme typically features a Photoshopped image of a person holding a handgun to the back of their own head. The phrase and image first gained significant traction on platforms like Tumblr and Reddit around 2014, quickly becoming a shorthand for extreme paranoia or the irony of self-sabotage. It humorously depicts the ultimate betrayal where one's own self cannot be trusted. Over the years, the format has expanded to include various characters and scenarios, from video games like Grand Theft Auto to illustrations, all maintaining the theme of a paradoxical double-cross.
