I'm cryin these comments there✋🏃
All those times your dad embarrassed you by not caring if he was cringe? When you get older you realize the old man was actually pretty cool ;) Source: I'm a cringy dad now. Love your videos, Jake.
It was the other way around, my parents were embarrassed of me
bruh I wish my dad was like that 💀
@@user-lm9gf2wh6t lol same 💗
Cool people don't give a shit about other person judgement, that's a fact 😎
I love this advice so much. I've always said, "we're all weird. Just gotta find folks whose weird matches ours"
Interesting concept! 💚
#SaveSoil #ConsciousPlanet
so real. i love it when i get to find someone who match my weirdness!
What about chris chan
everyone is weird but we just dont show it to everyone
highly agree with this statement. mostly the term "weird" have negative connotations and used as insults against people who acts or behaves differently in social situations. but personally i associate it with creativity and intelligence. i tend to used as both positive & affectionate term just like the word _"silly"_
Honestly as a teenager the one thing you want to avoid is being called cringe but getting older the "cringe people" seriously had the most fun. And who ever said that finger skateboarding is cringe got to hell haha. Great message
I just want to talk to the person who said Finger Skateboarding is "cringe"
Finger skateboarding is one of the most badass skills out there
Finger skateboards are some of the coolest things you can have
@@X3RNEA5yeah... you just want to "talk"
Honestly, I'm trying to go back to my "cringy" preteen self. I was so out there and...me, and now i'm just a shell. I want to get back to that outrageous dork self I was
Same :V
mood rn.
i relate
relatable
me too! do it!!
Fear of being cringe is the only thing stopping us (90s-2000s millenials) from becoming the elder emos we are destined to be
I’ve reverted back to emo after hiding it for years and got back into skating, 10/10 would recommend
"Elder Emo" hits different lol
Like "long long ago there was the emo kid, but as time passed they evolved into their final form, the elder emo"
The Emo High Elders
Being "cringe" is better than being normal, who wants to be like everyone else
Only someone who wants to be something they aren't, because they want to be accepted so badly they didn't think about what they wanted beside that.
You being cringe is just having a good time and doing what you love. People these days always care about what others are doing and how people view them but if you forget about all that nothing really matters and you're just living your life to the fullest.
"and what if your hobby will always be cringy?" that actually is something i think i really needed to think. Realizing it stops from worrying about little things and focus on the main ones. For me its cosplaying. It could be really cool and really cringe at the same time.
It's a beautiful thing when someone gets to actually enjoy their passion and have a genuine smile of happiness on their face because of it instead of being afraid to do it bc of the opinion of others and I think that's cool.
I get called "cringe" all the time on my channel, and I honestly see it as a compliment. It tells me that I'm pursuing that which makes me happy and brings me joy, regardless of whether or not it fits with society's narrative of what people "should" be doing. Wonderful video and this is a super important perspective!
The stuff you do on ur channel actually looks really cool and creative 😊
@@mozillakins9520 It DOES...but I just popped up on their to compliment her with "CRINGE" anyway. 😆😆😆🥰
@@mozillakins9520 thank you!! Much appreciated
I agree that if what your doing makes you happy you should do it regardless of other peoples perceptions but I would ignore it if that happens but if that were me I would ignore it why do you see it as a compliment?
@@notus299 because it means I’m on the right path for me. People often cringe at what makes them uncomfortable in themselves. Part of my work with my content is encouraging people to challenge their projections and become more accepting and welcoming to diversity, and the layers that we each possess as humans. I often say “the cringe is where the light shines in.”
When I cringe at things, for instance, I ask myself the question, “what about this other person triggers something in me? What can I explore in myself?” When people cringe, that reaction has nothing to do with the other. It’s just a projection of what is going on inside oneself.
I want to embrace my cringe but I still care a lot of what other people think, it’s hard, especially when you have anxiety
When I used to be cringey I did a lot of creative stuff and I was actually happy. I got called Cringe and I started to change and not be cringe but then I just lost my creativity
Sounds like you have to go back to cringe 😌
"Embrace your cringe" such a powerful reminder. wow. It gave me a different boost of inner confidence. Thank you.
Trying not to be cringe and always tryna be cool and perfect is what spoils life. Small imperfections and showing love towards other even by being cringe is what makes life happier.
this was the best man. youre forever one of my favorite storytellers on youtube
Means the world from you man. Thanks so much Sam 🙏🖤
Man your PP looks funny when it is little, it looks like you have a little body and a big head lol, i had to click on your profile to see you're just wearing a jacket😹
"Do not kill the part of you that is cringe, kill the part of you that cringes." - someone wise out there somewhere
Not gonna lie, I needed this to most. I've been told many, many times how 'cringe' I am for doing the things I like or even accepting a favour, but I've come to realise after watching this video that, 'people just don't understand', and that's perfectly fine, I don't need those types of people in my life, only the ones that wants to understand more.
4:50 There really is something crazy admirable in someone who isn't afraid of being themselves no matter what the rest might think. :)
I try to live by this too. The hardest thing is dealing with judgmental folks. In high school when I started making short films I lost friends because they thought even doing that was too out there. They're so afraid of being seen as cringe they judge anyone who embraces it. It must suck to live with such anxiety. Embracing the cringe is like hitting a release valve. There's certainly some nuance in cringe (it can stop people from doing things that aren't in their best interest), but overall embracing cringe is how people evolve and feel more comfortable with themselves.
I also really like your editing and filming. Good shit Jake!
Dope message. Once you get over the cringe, then you can get creative.
Being cringe is not cringe because you don't care about the opinion of others and that's cool bc the ones who limit themselves bc of others are the ones who are actually cringe.
Think about this
So what's implied here is basically, "the opinions of others about you aren't important." True but that mustn't be ignored either, and neither should other types of opinions. The way to not get offended or have any reaction from others opinions of you is to not accept the ones that aren't true, don't matter, or are otherwise meaningless. Basically, don't react until you realize whether someone's opinion of you is true, and if it's a negative opinion about you, perhaps it's useful if it's something you can change, or if it's something else that isn't useful like an insult. It's not ignoring to realize something's just wrong.
Ultimately, just think about what's said and don't react internally or externally until you've thought it through enough.
Maybe
It's videos like this where I can sit back and not want to isolate myself from the world and realize that there is better for me out there. Thank you random TH-cam guy. Very nice.
There's always someone just as weird as you. They're the best people you've ever known.
Can't speak more truth. When you embrace whatever happens and aren't afraid to be a little cringe, it's like a freedom.
"Learn to live alongside cringe. No matter how hard you try to avoid being cringe, you will look back on your life and cringe retrospectively.” - Taylor Swift
Thats what´s life about... finding your "tribe" and grow together. You wont please everyone.
Such an amazing video Jake! This video honestly really helped me, because it's kind of tough sometimes to just go out there and press publish on a video when it feels like the whole world will somehow see and critique you. But cringe really is a superpower. It's only those who are willing to look weird or crazy that see the reward. Thank you so much for the encouragement!
Kinda like a quote from a BTS song I really like, "No one got to the top by being normal"
tysm people always say im cringe af and I hope this video will motivate me to stay on my own path in life
@haikeus me too
never lose your integrity, being true to yourself sets you free
This was heartwarming af and deeply resonated in me. I feel like I lost most of my friends because their weird is not my weird anymore and it takes time and true selflove to find new people that match the same energy. Thank you Jake
Technically, cringe is just the verbal version of cringeworthy. Cringe is the reaction, cringeworthy is the cause of said reaction. It's just that we like to unironically use cringe as the adjective, and that might be a little cringe itself...
Love how you narrate the whole thing. And the message too. I'm gonna show this to my teenage kids - they just think everything cringe is bad. Haha.
This whole video was such a better explanation than just the phrase ‘be yourself’ and it was crafted so beautifully with so much consideration ❤
Cringe is being vulnerable, and life doesn't matter if we are not vulnerable. Because it's our vulnerabilities that makes us bonds with others and experience strong emotions
Thanks, I have been thinking about this a lot lately and been trying to get my friends to break through the cringe response. It's another level of joy and achievement once you get passed it. Great video man.
this is by far the most beautiful and to me personally the most impactful video you have created to far. I just flew back home from a trip where i learned surfing so i can identify with this story so so well. thank you so much for publishing this piece of art ❤
5 minutes in and I subscribed... Colorgrading, storytelling, unique perspectives, everything was spot on.
Need to hear this today! Such a powerful message! Thank you for the reminder!
I feel like your videos show up for me at the time I need them, Jake. I love your style of filmmaking and I was brought to tears in this one, actually. ❤
Love this and you're right, we need to embrace our uniqueness instead of trying to fit in to someone else's standards or societal standards! ✌️
I've been struggling a lot lately with being content with who I am, the message of this video really resonated with me and its nice to be reminded that I dont need to be worried about what the people around may or may not find cool. Thanks man, phenomenal video.
Love this. Always great to hear something so damn relatable. And love the vibe of deep friendship in the video, you're so talented man
Jake thank you so much for putting this out there. I think most of us fall into cringe at some point, some of us stay there. Being part of your tribe is a powerful thing. Embrace!
This was so dang good Jake!! I appreciate so much how much you seem yourself on camera, that you’re just here to have fun, not front for likes. And how great that you found friends who are the same. Congrats on the podcast; thanks much for encouraging us all to embrace our cringe. I’m slowly learning to, day by day, as I practice video!!
Love the wholesomeness of this video and the theme of how liberating it is to embrace our cringe!
Awh man, Jake. You nailed this again. This is so heartwarming and wholesome. You are truly one of a kind and a big big inspiration! Thanks as always for sharing this beautiful video with us. We appreciate this and aaaalll the cringe out there!
This video is lifechanging. I am afraid of showing my true self sometimes. But only when I share what I love to do I give others the chance to get to know me and join me doing those things
I have never felt so much emotion to a TH-cam video before. I had a huge smile on my face the entire time. Thank you for sharing that joy with me.
this was beautifully shot and your positive attitude as well as that of your friends is so refreshing
"I'm cringe and that's based. I'll never be based but that's not cringe. There's no one I'd rather be other than me."
Thx you for this video, I really need to hear that. Found your video in the right moment in my life. I'm tired of being embarrassed and you're right we should embrace it. When I wanna start a new habits I shouldn't be shameful about not being the best it's totally normal and I forget it. You reminded me that yeah we all start somewhere.
Thx you so damn much ❤
this is so beautiful and touching. Thank you so much. Plus the ilysm message is really warm!
I love your videos and style of story telling. It's something I aspire to. Keep up the amazing work!
This video is fantastic, such a simple message but I feel like it's true, embracing cringe leads to wonderful outcomes!
the second he pulled out the fingerboard, i was sold.
You’re a savior, I needed this video at this exact point in my journey
You don’t understand how much I needed to hear this today, thank you.
Our cringe is what makes us unique. 😊
This is one of the best videos on TH-cam. Recently this has been a thing I’ve been thinking about is that you have to be a bit ridiculous to get good at anything. Also I wish this would’ve sunk into my head when I was 12. There were so many things that I loved that I was too afraid to share with the world because it was “cringy” but at least I realize it now at 24
Sincerely needed to see this. Thank you!
Hey man.. Human from Cape Town South Africa here, thank you for this. It brought tears of joy to my eyes. You are awesome and radical. Thank you for the content you make. It's all really frikken cool and helps me creatively.
i've always had troubles finding a friend who accepts me as i am and now, seeing this video just made me realized that i don't really have to change anything i am because i love my quirky sides and i love being not normal. thank you jake, for accepting your cringe and showing us in an incredible way.
Dude, I love the cinematography in this video, that filmic look it got helps to convey the message in a beautiful way.
This is an amazing video!!! I love your message so much and wish everyone thought like this
I always loved this quote by Marcus Aurelius:
"Oh, you think cringe is your ally. But you merely adopted the cringe; I was born in it, moulded by it"
I even got it tatooed on my back!
Your videos always make me smile. You seem like a genuinely sweet and kind dude. Thank you for sharing your coolness with us!
What a wonderful and inspirational message! I loved this! May God bless you and help you in all your endeavors!
Jake your vid popped up on my YT home page and i thought it was a Joel Haver type vid. Dealing with cringe on a daily basis I something do. You made me smile and taught me a few things. Let me know next time your are in my city. - Eric.
Thank you very much for making a specific video about the topic "cringe" . I always thought of myself when since day 1 of joining the basketball team learning how to play as cringe also i considered myself weak for that but I'm glad today , now that someone atleast raise abt this . I always am curious to know everything i find interesting whether it is intellectual or not but what literally restricted me learn from them is I'd look like im begging which i found cringe but one day came that I realized that i need help of others to learn something this video just boosted my confidence and to seek help if necessary and not to step just because it's cringe . People will be enlightened enough that learning something new will not cause them any lose and help them rise up from their delusional world .
I really needed this advice, thanks!
you're crazy talented man i love this
This video was amazing. It felt like a half an hour soul talk! Thank you
It absolutely is! So many people never chase their dreams because they fear looking “cringe” - we decide to embrace it 🥰
I have never heard of "Soap Shoes" before but now I want some...
This really gave a new perspective. It's such a nice video showing your side of the story
Fantastic as always. Literally posted this the day I was about to post a video - just the message I needed. 😁Thanks for creating such unique content that makes us all think! Very powerful stuff!
"Anything worth doing, is worth doing badly"
Awesome video man! Beautiful message, and great vibe! Lovit ❤
Really great advice and wholesome video! Sickk drone shots of NYC
Great story and vid once again man, love to see you posting again!
Man, your videos are just so cool! The topics you talk about it, inspiration, motivation, etc, and the footage the editing, everything! Been watching your videos since weeks and didn’t even know I wasn’t subscribe, KEEP GOING! Hope I can follow your path and stop wasting time not doing nothing, and start making videos I want!
loved this. The title was SO engaging man, and the concept of cringe was such a fun topic to watch a video about
Your way of creating videos & talking about things that no one does creates a really big impact in people's life. At least it did create huge change in my life. I know you wont see this but thank you for being you💚🍀
I think my perspective on this truly flipped like a switch at one exact moment- My friends and I were talking about how we see each other, a true heart to heart around a campfire. We had one rule during these talks: while we were talking about one person, that person was not able to speak, and was only allowed to do so after the discussion had finished. Every single time, without fail, the person being discussed was overwhelmed with all the genuine, positive things they were hearing about themselves. A few of us were brought to tears.
I hadn't thought too much of the reactions each time beyond being glad they were happy about what we had all said, until it reached my turn.
I learnt that my friends see me as exactly the person I wanted to be for so many years. Cool, fun, energetic, chill, and everything in between. Everything that I was so convinced that I could never be. Everything I truly believed was impossible for someone as "cringe-ridden" as me.
They talked about how my interests and enthusiasm made it interesting to talk to me every time, and every new week was a gamble on what you would hear about next. That my "cringy" references just made the conversations all that much more fun.
Hearing about all of this, not being able to retaliate and simply listen on as my closest friends discussed how I was to them, was truly life-changing. I don't have to change who I am for acceptance. I can be as cringe as I want, as they will always accept me as I accept them.
I truly hope that everyone is able to find these people for themselves. The people who will accept you as you truly are, cringe and all.
The vibe of your videos is unreal 🤍 beautiful
Dude!!!!!!!!! I don't but there's this element in your videos, which makes it so so so good. I can't tell what it is but it's in all of your videos. Love that vibe!
every video jake makes, i remember why people are easy to love. i adore him and everything he does
Your filming is so cinematic, I started a TH-cam channel this year not found my niche yet but these videos are on another level and I can see the work that you put into these videos, this is the level i strive to follow! Keep up the great work 👍🏻
thank you so much. i really needed this
It's the podcast I am so excited for! I've been silently praying for it! ✨
your videography and storytelling is really really great. keep up the good work mate.
u cant please everyone , there will always be someone calling u cringe , u just have to realise that they are one person who shouldnt be affecting what u can do , at the end of the day they dont matter , what should matter is u achieving ur goals
the magical algorithm pops up your video.. i stop what i am doing and watch. Never disappointed. Keep living.. stumbling, failing and having fun.. as always..thanks for sharing!
Thanks so much Frank! I appreciate you a ton!
Ok wow I absolutely love this video. You're an incredible story teller and editor!
Love what you do!! Thanks Jake
cringe culture is literally just "stop having fun", embrace your cringe!
Thanks dude, that's just what I needed to hear today! 😀
Oh myyy gawd that vid was crazy good🔥this might just be what i needed to overcome my anxiety in filmmaking
Great video! I love the message, I love the vibes, and I love the cinematography!
