About

I Think You Guys Might Be Thinking About Yourselves Too Much is a catchphrase, reaction image and exploitable meme inspired by a Q&A Instagram Story posted by Jemima Kirke, best known for playing the character Jessa in HBO's Girls. The line was in response to a question asking for advice for "unconfident young women." The quote has since been edited and reposted to joke about other things people might be thinking too much about.

Jake @phinsjake Dec 24, 2023 the stigma against going to the movies alone is so wild to me... you can pick any theater, any film, any showtime, any seat. zero worry about whether the person you brought is enjoying the film. just pure heavenly bliss
