What Is The Inside Out 'Graph My Emotions' Trend And How Is It Done?

In late June 2024, TikTokers began a trend based on the emotions from the animated film series Inside Out. Specifically, the trend started popping up shortly after the release of Inside Out 2, which is on track to be one of the biggest movies of 2024. The trend is called "graph my emotions" and it's often done with two participants.

To do the trend, one participant sends another, often a friend or partner but really it can be anyone, a blank bar graph with all the emotions from Inside Out 2 listed across the bottom. The first participant asks the second to fill the graph in with bars representing what they believe are participant one's most-felt emotions. Some are also taking on the challenge solo and filling out graphs representing their own emotions, resulting in a lot of fun and interesting charts.
