About

When Your Circle Small But All Y'all Crazy refers to a catchphrase and snowclone trend that most often reads, "When Your Circle Small But Y'all Crazy," however, meme creators replace the latter half of the phrase with a different adjective or action. It's often paired with an image macro to represent the friend group. Additionally, the idea of keeping a small circle is related to Hustle Culture Memes. The phrase was first coined on Instagram in 2015 but was used most on Twitter in late 2020.
