Real 

Popularized by depressing TikTok slideshows, 'real' is used to express how something shown (from the slideshow, for example) is very present in their life, and has a personal effect on them.

Real 

Basically what people are saying nowadays on Tiktok, Youtube, Pintrest, Twitter.. You name it. It's kind of like saying "Fr" (For real) under a relatable post. The most annoying part of it tho, is that people use it for the most random things that don't even seem like a relatable moment. Like, Someone could show a photo of them at the beach, and someone in the comments might say; "The floaty in the background is so real" Like ?? How is that relatable?? You sound slow. Below is a better example on how you can use the term, "Real"

Exhibit A: Man, I love going on road trips and watching all the trees and houses pass by."

Exhibit B: "Real."
