About
Me Showing Up To The Competition refers to a TikTok trend and meme in which users create scenarios about participating in various fictional competitions and losing to their opponent in a dramatic or surprising manner. The trend emerged on TikTok in February 2024, with TikToker @lifeaccordingtoeli popularizing the trend in a series of posts beginning on February 19th, 2024. The setup for the skits notably follows a similar style to the When I'm in a Competition and My Opponent Is meme.
