I was born in 1996, 2 years before Seinfeld’s final episode. The show about nothing, which has lived well beyond its time, introduced us to some of the most ridiculous and greatest characters in television history. Being incredibly relatable, it’s hard for any Seinfeld fan to make it through a day without experiencing a similar scene or two from the show, most likely involving George Costanza. Why George? He’s the most sympathetic character on the show, and…well, I’ll let the 30 GIFs below explain how he’s secretly your spirit animal:

1 You make the best out of every boring situation

2. You look out for yourself, because at the end of the day the universe revolves around you, and only you

3. The gym isn’t the place for you….bad things happen there

4. You say what is on your mind and feel no shame about it

5. Again, no shame

6. When shit hits the fan, you knows how to react

7. Honesty is a virtue, even when it hurts

8. You don’t care if anybody doesn’t like your style choices, you’re living your life on your own terms

9. Sometimes you do let social standards get to you

10. But fuck social standards…

11. Competition is always fierce, whether it’s an intramural basketball game or a high speed shopping cart race

12. Or on the diamond…you don’t let anybody get in your way

13. ICE CREAMMMM

14. You also understand that sometimes a great Friday night consists of your butt on the couch watching TV with chips all over your shirt

15. You are always down for a good time
