I've had tons of cringy moments in my life. Nowadays I'm overly cautious about what I say to others because I don't wanna get those same feelings again
Cringe feels awful but they do teach us to stay away from certain situation so that we don't repeat the same mistakes! What were some moments that you believed to be cringey?
I was bullied for 10 years (or even longer), I only had two friends during this time and even they didn't always stand by me or even stayed away from me at times. I had developed a real fear of people and was afraid that I would appear cringe to others. But I later learned that I wasn't to blame for the bullying, I just wasn't a person who would accept peer pressure, I preferred to do what I thought was right and that didn't sit well with others at all. I've always tried to live a good life, not smoking, not drinking alcohol, dressing decently, etc. A lot of people couldn't handle that, so I was the outsider who was constantly bullied and left out by others. Even though I've learned that being bullied isn't my fault and my fear of people has decreased a lot, I'm still a bit afraid inside that something like this could happen again, which is why it took me quite a long time until I really trust other people. Whenever I meet new people, I'm a little afraid that they might not like something about me and that they will reject me again.
@@TheSparkOfCorn Yes it is sad, they made me feel that I'm cringey, because they criticized almost everything I said or did and also laught about it, of course in front of me and behind my back as well.
There's something I want to say, if you cringe at seeing the actions of your past self. First, don't see it as self-degredation. You were younger at that time, maybe physically, maybe emotionally, maybe expertise-wise. But now you're older. And with age and time comes wisdom and understanding. If you cringe at your younger self for something you still do or used to do, that feeling of cringe is actually a sign that you've improved. Ever cringed at your past self dancing or singing or performing? That's because now you can sing, dance, or perform better than you were in the past. And use it as reassurance - the more you do at your own craft, the better you'll become. Never let your past hold you back, and always take any mistakes you did in the past as watch-outs for you in the present and future. If you read the entirety of this comment, *steal the show and never be ashamed.*

this happened to me in school when I was younger, that's when I began to have low self-esteem, it started when I fell into the floor, and my classmates keep reminding me of these mistakes of mine whenever they see me, it's ok for me at first but then gossips started spreading and that's when I gradually started to hide and started comparing myself to others
I'm at a level in my life where everything I do is cringe and I'm freaking proud of it. I've spent the early years of my life being in a cocoon and doing things perfectly, but now, I am "unhinged". And I am not effing embarrassed anymore. As long as no one is hurt, I don't give a tiny rat's butt!

In 2021, when the world was just opening up post lockdowns, I was invited to some event as a representative for my place in some cultural related thingy. I was riding the high of it. Then someone looked me in the eye at said event . Turns out, she was an old college classmate I have never seen in years. I felt seen. So I reached out to her via Instagram to ask her out.

This video came at the right moment. I had a cringe situation at work yesterday. It will haunt me forever but I've learned to just move on since I know my cringe moments will never end. 😅
@@Psych2go Being attracted to "yandere" characters. Being kinda a whiney Karen. I used to throw tantrums alot in class whenever I was stressed. Thinking my dad was abusive because he sent me to and after school program till 6 and didn't let be go outside to much. I though him giving me microwave meals alot and not taking to me much cause he stessed and needed a break was real neglect 💀
@@Psych2go Don't worry, I was kidding but yeah I was cringe like really . Some negativity and stuff but I have left all of that behind and Trying to be better
I'm a simple woman I see a Psych2Go video, I click on it, and then I get called out for five minutes straight (All jokes aside though thank you I needed this!)
Of my Autistic personality, having cringe moments is part of who I am as a person especially of my jokes and laughter towards a comment or story. I had many stories to tell to people about my cringe moments but I find when I tell a joke or I quote something from a movie it makes people laugh. A cringe moment I had with my great aunt as a laughable moment was I looked like Sheldon from The Big Bang Theory stuff like that. I took it as a compliment but I can act like Sheldon or Abed from Community of their Autistic traits.
I have a friend who is constantly obsessing over my "brand image" and how to not be cringe. "you have to keep up with your brand image! you can't let people see you being cringe!"
@Psych2Go Sometimes it's useful but a lot of the time it's annoying. It's often for stuff that doesn't really matter. We plan to do content creation on twitch & TH-cam so she doesn't want people to think im cringe cuz it could affect our popularity/viewership
I saw something that's maybe true it's "If you're cringe at yourself back when you're younger it means you improved over the years" and i kinda find it relatable
I once told my teacher I loved her in front of everyone in the graduation year. (I liked her as a person, that type of love) Yes, I'm cringe. 😂 It was an impulse scream lmao😅
I used to have a good friend that I had a crush on his older sister for a little while and once she found out I liked her It was cringe for me. When she knew I had a crush on her, her parents accepted the fact I liked her.
@@gulagbatman1318 I never was in a relationship with his older sister though but I'm glad it didn't happen because it would've been more cringe at the most.
“Are you cringe?” Short answer: Yes. Long answer: Yes. Everybody is cringe in one way or another in 2 ways. 1: there’s always going to be another person in the world that thinks something you’ve done or you like is cringe. It doesn’t have to be about you specifically, but just the action or interest in general. 2: As the person said in the video, you’ll always hate something you did.
I work at the drive-thru window at my local Taco Bell. I can't tell you how many times people say "how are you?", me saying that I'm doing well, only to find out that they're talking to someone else on the phone!😠
@LetsPlateauWithLolo it's hard to tell with the bad headset quality, but sometimes this happens face-to-face, and it makes me wince every time I look back on it.
I never heard anything about "cringe" in case of psychology before. This is one ot those more important episodes, which gave me to think deeper. And I think it might be very helpful for me in the future, because I do have perfectionism issues and I usually set high expectations towards myself and in the end it all almost always makes me feel in the way, which was mentioned here. And yea... "self compassion". How easily we forget about it in life and later on we are hard on ourselves... P.S If ordinary users like I could reward such an episode with a heart like you-tubers do... I would totally give one here.
I had a cringy experience today. We were in class, and for schoolwork, the teacher played one of my favorite heavy metal songs (War Pigs -Black Sabbath) and I started headbanging, dancing and playing along with the riffs on an invisible guitar, and everybody started laughing so I felt embarrassed, but suddenly the whole class started to do the same thing as a joke and everyone was laughing so I went along with it, and I just had a good time Sometimes, people see it as a funny thing and go along with it as a joke, and when that happens, we feel less embarrassed Also, could you do a video on creative block (I don't know the actual name for it), I'm struggling with my creativity recently, for ideas for homework or writing my first song and stuff, it would help me out a lot (Sorry if my English is bad, not my native language, and I already suck at expressing myself with words)
I'm glad everyone wound up continuing that on! I'm not you so I can't know how you feel, but I consider that having panned out as a funny moment, genuinely enjoyable for everyone, and I think that's cool. As far as I'm concerned - that's props to you! Also posting here in hopes that if there's a reply about a mental block video, that I really want to see that too!
Most people seem to hate cringe-culture, yet feel helpless to escape it. Cringe is just the overreaction of people being human. That's why it exists: to further control you.
sometimes i do something completely normal and everyone arround me has a cringe reaction to it. i feel horrible cuz it happens daily :( i didnt know that what i was doing was cringey. but it feels like im constantly having to change myself and i hate it. it especially happens with my sister, i am autistic and have a fear of the outdoors so i have no friends, my sister is all i have. but shes constantly calling me cringy and looking at me in an embarrassed/disappointed way
Fist time I'm matching none of these points... I feel... I feel... good. I remember back in the day, not to take anything from the professionals, that you could always talk to your parents or your friends about things and they would listen. These days, not so much... and it's sad. People say "If you need to talk, I'm here to listen." but when you try to talk to them, they are to busy or have something to take care of so they can't listen. :,(
The thing it's - for me - that I am a cringe person not matter what , the problem it's when people close to me make these "mistakes" my whole personality, like there's nothing else , sometimes I don't think too much about it, but lately I started to care more. When your friends or your family start to treat you as "the stupid one" or they just talk about you begin cringe non-stop, the joke starts to feel real. So am I really untrustable? Am I really an adult? Am I smart?, till you are thinking, "Am I worth?". Usually I think that I didn't grow a bit and I'm still child , that my goals are impossible and my life is a failure. Still I try , and I did ask specialist help , it's a long journey, to whoever is in the same case good luck!😉
I dont want to be talked out of perfectionism. I don't want to have a coping mechanism for failure, failure is not an option, I wish for a self destruct feature to always be reminded that there are standards to live by or else I will lose my head. I am fatphobic, cringephobic, intolerant, I don't like things that look unnatural or unnormal and sometimes wish the defect units to be scrapped.
The whole idea of caring is cringe. Why piss on someone for being themselves? Don't worry about what people are thinking about you, their all too worried about themselves
I sorta talked to this girl in my class, asking if I could have her number cuz I wanted more video game friends (I have social anxiety), and she asked if I had a ps4. I said no, and she rejected me and apologized cuz that's all she plays games on. I felt so embarrassed like "omg why did I even ask that" and replaying the way she responded over and over, cringing while I tried to sleep that night.
@@iiantixsocial that’s not rejection lol rejection would be if she said she didn’t want to give it to you it’s normal to not own a certain console you’re overthinking
@@omenzilla9755 It's sorta rejection in my head cuz she has a specific console, and most of the games I play don't allow cross-play, so there wouldn't really be any way we could play games together. Plus, she plays games I haven't heard of or don't have an interest in. The only game she has is minecraft, which she told me she rarely plays
@@iiantixsocial no that isn’t rejection rejection would be if she had the same games and chose to not play with you shes just unable to if you asked anybody who had the same console they would’ve said yes if they know you
It's funny, I am more open to being cringy now, because I have become more friends with my inner child - children seem to say and do things without thinking further, I am allowing myself to be like that as an adult, I was always shamed as a child whenever I was "too much"; now I just go all in, it is freeing!
The only things that should be considered cringe are people who abuse children or animals or think they are above accountability for hurting other people.
Yesterday at school I walked into the bathroom with my mind on drum stuff and a female custodian was in there, but she was standing on paper rolls so she looked tall and I thought it was a dude in a fruity shirt, so I continued on in until she said something. Apparently I scared her and her feelings of safety, to the point some other librarian lady had to ask her if she needed a hug. I’ve never been more embarrassed in my life
I used to ruminate over conversations or mistakes I made over and over. But recently i started antidepressants in November last year and I now feel myself ruminating less and just enjoying the moment. I know they won't work for everyone, but I'm 29 and I wish I tried them a long time ago. Maybe life would've been better for me. Less opportunities lost, more friends made? I don't know...

@@chinmayi727 I understand and thank you I just didn't know if you had seen someone else in the comments section already do that or not. But it was helpful from you too 😸
I once used the word cringe in a presentation by accident and was later told by this older gentleman that he had asked all his co-workers if they knew the meaning of the word and / or if it even exists. It also showed me just how old the workforce in that building really was. If I had this video back then, that would have helped a lot xD
The word cringe has been around longer than any workforce out there. So, if they don't know the word, they need to start learning the language. He should've cringed when he realized he didn't know the word or know how to pick up a dictionary and look it up!
@@MyLostYouth Might have been useful to note that this gentleman, me and all other are Germans. Cringe hasn't been a word in our language that long yet, popularised by the internet.
By default my existence is cringe! I have a prevalent inner child and I have a lot of energy! It doesn't always bode well in social situations. Last time I had people over someone made it rain on a friend so I took a wad of $600 dollars and threw it at the person. The money didn't dispersed it just hit him in the face like a brick ._. he died..... Anyhoo, I have memories that are so cringe to me I verbally react, shake my head and quickly change the subject >~< it sucks when it happens when I'm trying to sleep.... it wakes me up too much. Idk how many times I have told my manager how it's embarrassing the way some task got done sloppily u.u where in retrospect it seems obvious. All n all, I am super introspective and goal oriented! So I focus on the future and where I see myself in 5 or 10 years! I try not to let the day to day things get me down, more so use them as a means to be better and more efficient!
As a guy with a critically low self-esteem and an instinctually self-destructive mind, I don't understand how I'm supposed to just accept myself as I am, as mentioned in the video. I just don't understand it, and I'm not sure how to make my mind not constantly tear itself apart, since my efforts of trying to fix that over the last few years have not yielded acceptable results. The way I see it, I'm not good enough to fix my own problems, since my problems are my responsibility and I can't and won't expect anyone else to just do it for me.
Every day you have to point out to yourself: 1. Something you like about yourself 2. Something you've done that put good into the world (ideally recently.) They can be really SMALL things, but they have to feel true to you, no BS. And then you ask yourself what you're currently stressed about, and give yourself the advice/comfort you'd give someone you care about. You can do this in your head, but it also helps if you write it all down. This is just what worked for me, good luck. (Also, if you pair it with prayer that helps but that's up to your beliefs).
@@thisismyyoutubeaccount2470 Admittedly pointing out something like that which feels true to me is much easier said than done given my mind's self-destructive nature and the intensely negative self-bias that comes with that. Idk, it's hard to console your worst enemy, especially when that enemy is the same person you see in the mirror.
@@valethar8067 I feel you. That's why in the beginning you have to use tiny examples. Like, even the fact that you wrote these comments, that you generally want to be better, speaks to something good that's inside you. That counts. The more consistent you are with stopping and noticing the tiny positive things about yourself the more your self-esteem will grow (but it will take time, and hard work, and it won't happen over night).
@@thisismyyoutubeaccount2470 It's one thing to say and bring up those tiny examples, but it's definitely another much more difficult thing to really believe those things, especially when the only feedback I really get is a negative feedback loop in my own head... Like my self-esteem is low enough that if I were to look in the mirror, I'd not see even one redeemable detail in that reflection.
@@valethar8067 It will be easier if you focus on action-based things (went for walk, read a page of a book) rather than image-based things, at least in the beginning. Tiny action-based things are easier to find pride in, imo, because YOU know the effort that went in. But it may take a while for self-kindness to feel natural, and that's okay. No new skill feels natural until you know how to do it. I'm rooting for you.
I was raised in a very large church. The sanctuary could fit over 3000 people. One Sunday a girl was sitting on the front row of the church and during the service she got up to go to the restroom. On the way back to her seat everyone could see that her dress was stuffed in her panties. Her butt cheeks were exposed and she was walking in front of hundreds of people because she was sitting on the front row so everyone saw her walking while exposed. That is the most cringe thing EVERRR . I hope she is ok . I would have never came back to church. Also shame on the people who saw her but didn’t warn her.
I am completely cringe. Cant help it. I think many autistic people are and tbh, no one dies no one gets hurt so no harm done. I dont mind cringe in others. I dont experience cringing as negative, i find it quite entertaining.
My dad awful human taught me 1 killer lesson. "Don't give a crap about what other people are doing or wearing. Do what you like, be comfortable over being "cool" Also my personal "comparison is the death of happiness" Death Grips "be the freak you want to see" ❤❤❤❤ I dont care what I look like as long as IM smiling I'll do whatever. (Inna safe manner)
Man everyone calls me cringe, at a point where idk what im doing and it's starting to upset me so much but they're not telling me WHAT im doing thats cringe
Just before this I was visiting my Journal/Diary and It felt so cringe to read whatever I had written all these days so pretentious and preachy Idk no one else will read or even though those thoughts but I was embarrassed for having those thoughts and also how I wrote them was so cringe I felt like throwing that copy in Bin. I felt cringe maybe because I felt I was so immature and stupid to think like that or maybe because I thought writing would help to document things but when I read it again almost everyday was about the same thing. Even I might feel embarrassed after seeing this comment an hour later.

@@Psych2go Being attracted to "yandere" characters. Being kinda a whiney Karen. I used to throw tantrums alot in class whenever I was stressed. Thinking my dad was abusive because he sent me to and after school program till 6 and didn't let be go outside to much. I though him giving me microwave meals alot and not taking to me much cause he stessed and needed a break was real neglect 💀
"Are you cringe ?"
"Yes I am"
Didn't mean to call you out! But we're pretty sure that you're not as cringe as you believe yourself to be! Why do you feel that you're cringe?
@@Psych2go Don't worry, I was kidding but yeah I was cringe like really . Some negativity and stuff but I have left all of that behind and Trying to be better
I'm a simple woman
I see a Psych2Go video, I click on it, and then I get called out for five minutes straight
(All jokes aside though thank you I needed this!)
Thank you for your comment! Which part of the video did you relate to the most?
@@Psych2go the shame part. I'm still working on my self esteem and shame issues!
Of my Autistic personality, having cringe moments is part of who I am as a person especially of my jokes and laughter towards a comment or story. I had many stories to tell to people about my cringe moments but I find when I tell a joke or I quote something from a movie it makes people laugh. A cringe moment I had with my great aunt as a laughable moment was I looked like Sheldon from The Big Bang Theory stuff like that. I took it as a compliment but I can act like Sheldon or Abed from Community of their Autistic traits.
@@devenmellor I had that happen many times.
The shows creators purposefully did them that way.
@@AC-ni4gt I knew that with Community!
Autism isn’t cringe lol
@@midnightgamer-21 the point is that autism can make people do cringe things (speaking from someone who has autism)
I have a friend who is constantly obsessing over my "brand image" and how to not be cringe. "you have to keep up with your brand image! you can't let people see you being cringe!"
How does that make you feel? Does it bother you when they call you out like that? Or are their comments actually helpful?
@Psych2Go Sometimes it's useful but a lot of the time it's annoying. It's often for stuff that doesn't really matter. We plan to do content creation on twitch & TH-cam so she doesn't want people to think im cringe cuz it could affect our popularity/viewership
I saw something that's maybe true it's
"If you're cringe at yourself back when you're younger it means you improved over the years" and i kinda find it relatable
It is very true xD. There's quite a lot I think about in my past that I would change, given the chance, because of how cringe it was xD.
nobody can be "cringe" because it's a verb
I overthink, and I sometimes think as myself cringy.
I once told my teacher I loved her in front of everyone in the graduation year. (I liked her as a person, that type of love)
Yes, I'm cringe. 😂
It was an impulse scream lmao😅
I used to have a good friend that I had a crush on his older sister for a little while and once she found out I liked her It was cringe for me. When she knew I had a crush on her, her parents accepted the fact I liked her.
Not at all! Teachers love it when you show appreciation and love! Were you close to your teacher?
@@Psych2go
Personally, yes. I adoreded her character. But she didn't know that. So it was a surprise. Lol. 😂
@@isaiahvoss Nice. Glad it worked out.
@@gulagbatman1318 I never was in a relationship with his older sister though but I'm glad it didn't happen because it would've been more cringe at the most.
I never thought I would hear the word "cringe" in a Psych2Go video
“Are you cringe?”
Short answer: Yes.
Long answer: Yes. Everybody is cringe in one way or another in 2 ways. 1: there’s always going to be another person in the world that thinks something you’ve done or you like is cringe. It doesn’t have to be about you specifically, but just the action or interest in general. 2: As the person said in the video, you’ll always hate something you did.
I work at the drive-thru window at my local Taco Bell. I can't tell you how many times people say "how are you?", me saying that I'm doing well, only to find out that they're talking to someone else on the phone!😠
I’ve answered a drive thru worker at the window who was asking a question to the person behind me at the box. Headsets confuse us all sometimes.
@LetsPlateauWithLolo it's hard to tell with the bad headset quality, but sometimes this happens face-to-face, and it makes me wince every time I look back on it.
I never heard anything about "cringe" in case of psychology before. This is one ot those more important episodes, which gave me to think deeper. And I think it might be very helpful for me in the future, because I do have perfectionism issues and I usually set high expectations towards myself and in the end it all almost always makes me feel in the way, which was mentioned here. And yea... "self compassion". How easily we forget about it in life and later on we are hard on ourselves...
P.S If ordinary users like I could reward such an episode with a heart like you-tubers do... I would totally give one here.
People don’t talk about how the term “cringe” is usually applied to neurodivergent people doing non-socially standard behaviors.
How do you mean? Could you tell us a bit more?
I needed this. Thank you
No problem 😊
I had a cringy experience today. We were in class, and for schoolwork, the teacher played one of my favorite heavy metal songs (War Pigs -Black Sabbath) and I started headbanging, dancing and playing along with the riffs on an invisible guitar, and everybody started laughing so I felt embarrassed, but suddenly the whole class started to do the same thing as a joke and everyone was laughing so I went along with it, and I just had a good time
Sometimes, people see it as a funny thing and go along with it as a joke, and when that happens, we feel less embarrassed
Also, could you do a video on creative block (I don't know the actual name for it), I'm struggling with my creativity recently, for ideas for homework or writing my first song and stuff, it would help me out a lot
(Sorry if my English is bad, not my native language, and I already suck at expressing myself with words)
I'm glad everyone wound up continuing that on! I'm not you so I can't know how you feel, but I consider that having panned out as a funny moment, genuinely enjoyable for everyone, and I think that's cool. As far as I'm concerned - that's props to you!
Also posting here in hopes that if there's a reply about a mental block video, that I really want to see that too!
awesome class
my peer！
Your English is excellent! 💚
@@Racecar564 yeah, I felt embarrassed at first, but after they joined it was better
Most people seem to hate cringe-culture, yet feel helpless to escape it.
Cringe is just the overreaction of people being human.
That's why it exists: to further control you.
one time my boss see "see you tomorrow" and I said "love u too"
just one of the many cringy moments of cringy shinji
Been watching for a really long time, I love you and your content
Thank you so much! How long have you been a subscriber for?
@@Psych2go new phone so maybe bout 3 months?
@@Psych2go but I always would randomly get you on my recommendation list for a year and a half ish
@@AintrovertWhoiBefriended I just use its videos for some learning～
sometimes i do something completely normal and everyone arround me has a cringe reaction to it. i feel horrible cuz it happens daily :( i didnt know that what i was doing was cringey. but it feels like im constantly having to change myself and i hate it. it especially happens with my sister, i am autistic and have a fear of the outdoors so i have no friends, my sister is all i have. but shes constantly calling me cringy and looking at me in an embarrassed/disappointed way
Its ok. Embrace it! No need to be socially acceptable as long as you are happy.
"I may be cringe, but you're mean and that's worse."
Cringe is trying to talk to someone to get to know them and not say anything..........
"Do not kill the part of you that is cringe
Kill the part that cringes"
- BrutalMaglliniTime
Fist time I'm matching none of these points... I feel... I feel... good.
I remember back in the day, not to take anything from the professionals, that you could always talk to your parents or your friends about things and they would listen. These days, not so much... and it's sad. People say "If you need to talk, I'm here to listen." but when you try to talk to them, they are to busy or have something to take care of so they can't listen. :,(
The thing it's - for me - that I am a cringe person not matter what , the problem it's when people close to me make these "mistakes" my whole personality, like there's nothing else , sometimes I don't think too much about it, but lately I started to care more. When your friends or your family start to treat you as "the stupid one" or they just talk about you begin cringe non-stop, the joke starts to feel real. So am I really untrustable? Am I really an adult? Am I smart?, till you are thinking, "Am I worth?". Usually I think that I didn't grow a bit and I'm still child , that my goals are impossible and my life is a failure. Still I try , and I did ask specialist help , it's a long journey, to whoever is in the same case good luck!😉
Thank you SO MUCH. This video has helped me SO much with my high libido.
I dont want to be talked out of perfectionism. I don't want to have a coping mechanism for failure, failure is not an option, I wish for a self destruct feature to always be reminded that there are standards to live by or else I will lose my head. I am fatphobic, cringephobic, intolerant, I don't like things that look unnatural or unnormal and sometimes wish the defect units to be scrapped.
I totally wave at people who aren't waving at me all the time! Now that I'm older, I just brush it off when it's a mistake, and kinda laugh to myself.
If you want to have some cringe power do wave at random person who would look friendly! They wave back 😂🤣 it's fun!
The whole idea of caring is cringe. Why piss on someone for being themselves? Don't worry about what people are thinking about you, their all too worried about themselves
For me I always thought that cringe or being cringey was also known as having bad luck or being clumsy. 🤣😂
I really like this animator. Her style suits this channel's tone and characters very well!
"Do not kill the part of you that is cringe.
Kill the part of you that cringes."
I sorta talked to this girl in my class, asking if I could have her number cuz I wanted more video game friends (I have social anxiety), and she asked if I had a ps4. I said no, and she rejected me and apologized cuz that's all she plays games on. I felt so embarrassed like "omg why did I even ask that" and replaying the way she responded over and over, cringing while I tried to sleep that night.
How is her only having a ps4 your fault 💀
@@omenzilla9755 It's not necessarily my fault, it's just I cringed at the fact I asked a question and got rejected
@@iiantixsocial that’s not rejection lol rejection would be if she said she didn’t want to give it to you it’s normal to not own a certain console you’re overthinking
@@omenzilla9755 It's sorta rejection in my head cuz she has a specific console, and most of the games I play don't allow cross-play, so there wouldn't really be any way we could play games together. Plus, she plays games I haven't heard of or don't have an interest in. The only game she has is minecraft, which she told me she rarely plays
@@iiantixsocial no that isn’t rejection rejection would be if she had the same games and chose to not play with you shes just unable to if you asked anybody who had the same console they would’ve said yes if they know you
I would rather die cringe and free, than live based and trapped
Remembering something as cringe in your past even tho that’s the way you were back then, just means you have developed as a person.
It's funny, I am more open to being cringy now, because I have become more friends with my inner child - children seem to say and do things without thinking further, I am allowing myself to be like that as an adult, I was always shamed as a child whenever I was "too much"; now I just go all in, it is freeing!
The only things that should be considered cringe are people who abuse children or animals or think they are above accountability for hurting other people.
I am very early,but your work of updating people about mental health is amazing keep going
Thank you for joining us early! Did you find the video helpful? :)
2:06 that 100% sounds like how I would answer that question. But because I love being deadpan pretty much all the time.
Thanks for this!!
Yesterday at school I walked into the bathroom with my mind on drum stuff and a female custodian was in there, but she was standing on paper rolls so she looked tall and I thought it was a dude in a fruity shirt, so I continued on in until she said something. Apparently I scared her and her feelings of safety, to the point some other librarian lady had to ask her if she needed a hug. I’ve never been more embarrassed in my life
I used to ruminate over conversations or mistakes I made over and over. But recently i started antidepressants in November last year and I now feel myself ruminating less and just enjoying the moment. I know they won't work for everyone, but I'm 29 and I wish I tried them a long time ago. Maybe life would've been better for me. Less opportunities lost, more friends made? I don't know...
*I am cringe but i am free*
REAL! 🕊️
i love how you switch between artstyles but still make them recognizable
I think many people cringe about too many things and the term cringe is being misused as a result.
This is absolutely helpful! Thank you so very much for taking the time to research and discuss this topic. God bless🙏

Tbh cringe just made me think of the embarrassing things that happened to me 😬😬 and ofc i know that im REALLY cringe *dies from embarrassment*
My siblings think I'm cringe, how do I stop making my siblings calling me cringe? I'm the oldest sibling among them.
I needed this
I once used the word cringe in a presentation by accident and was later told by this older gentleman that he had asked all his co-workers if they knew the meaning of the word and / or if it even exists. It also showed me just how old the workforce in that building really was.
If I had this video back then, that would have helped a lot xD
The word cringe has been around longer than any workforce out there. So, if they don't know the word, they need to start learning the language. He should've cringed when he realized he didn't know the word or know how to pick up a dictionary and look it up!
@@MyLostYouth Might have been useful to note that this gentleman, me and all other are Germans. Cringe hasn't been a word in our language that long yet, popularised by the internet.
Cringe. An overused word people use on the internet.
That itself is already a cringe for me.
By default my existence is cringe! I have a prevalent inner child and I have a lot of energy! It doesn't always bode well in social situations. Last time I had people over someone made it rain on a friend so I took a wad of $600 dollars and threw it at the person. The money didn't dispersed it just hit him in the face like a brick ._. he died.....
Anyhoo, I have memories that are so cringe to me I verbally react, shake my head and quickly change the subject >~< it sucks when it happens when I'm trying to sleep.... it wakes me up too much.
Idk how many times I have told my manager how it's embarrassing the way some task got done sloppily u.u where in retrospect it seems obvious.
All n all, I am super introspective and goal oriented! So I focus on the future and where I see myself in 5 or 10 years! I try not to let the day to day things get me down, more so use them as a means to be better and more efficient!
As a guy with a critically low self-esteem and an instinctually self-destructive mind, I don't understand how I'm supposed to just accept myself as I am, as mentioned in the video. I just don't understand it, and I'm not sure how to make my mind not constantly tear itself apart, since my efforts of trying to fix that over the last few years have not yielded acceptable results. The way I see it, I'm not good enough to fix my own problems, since my problems are my responsibility and I can't and won't expect anyone else to just do it for me.
Every day you have to point out to yourself: 1. Something you like about yourself 2. Something you've done that put good into the world (ideally recently.) They can be really SMALL things, but they have to feel true to you, no BS. And then you ask yourself what you're currently stressed about, and give yourself the advice/comfort you'd give someone you care about. You can do this in your head, but it also helps if you write it all down. This is just what worked for me, good luck. (Also, if you pair it with prayer that helps but that's up to your beliefs).
@@thisismyyoutubeaccount2470 Admittedly pointing out something like that which feels true to me is much easier said than done given my mind's self-destructive nature and the intensely negative self-bias that comes with that. Idk, it's hard to console your worst enemy, especially when that enemy is the same person you see in the mirror.
@@valethar8067 I feel you. That's why in the beginning you have to use tiny examples. Like, even the fact that you wrote these comments, that you generally want to be better, speaks to something good that's inside you. That counts. The more consistent you are with stopping and noticing the tiny positive things about yourself the more your self-esteem will grow (but it will take time, and hard work, and it won't happen over night).
@@thisismyyoutubeaccount2470 It's one thing to say and bring up those tiny examples, but it's definitely another much more difficult thing to really believe those things, especially when the only feedback I really get is a negative feedback loop in my own head... Like my self-esteem is low enough that if I were to look in the mirror, I'd not see even one redeemable detail in that reflection.
@@valethar8067 It will be easier if you focus on action-based things (went for walk, read a page of a book) rather than image-based things, at least in the beginning. Tiny action-based things are easier to find pride in, imo, because YOU know the effort that went in. But it may take a while for self-kindness to feel natural, and that's okay. No new skill feels natural until you know how to do it. I'm rooting for you.
Pls do more for the hips and inter thigh! I really enjoyed this 💕
Not even started this vid but if you looked at the word "Cringe" in the dictionary my face would probably be next to it
I love how you link your sources
Idk about you guys, but often when I do something cringe-worthy, I laugh at myself for 5 minutes before forgetting it for eternity.
I was raised in a very large church. The sanctuary could fit over 3000 people. One Sunday a girl was sitting on the front row of the church and during the service she got up to go to the restroom. On the way back to her seat everyone could see that her dress was stuffed in her panties. Her butt cheeks were exposed and she was walking in front of hundreds of people because she was sitting on the front row so everyone saw her walking while exposed. That is the most cringe thing EVERRR . I hope she is ok . I would have never came back to church. Also shame on the people who saw her but didn’t warn her.
@@90sscenepacks lol I doubt that she will see this comment 😂 but my heart really went out to her. I would have DIED 🥹
The question I always needed the answer to.
It was far too long ago I was cringeworthy, and knowing it myself enough to cringe, so I need to get out more
That voice is the antidote to all cringe 😁
I am completely cringe. Cant help it. I think many autistic people are and tbh, no one dies no one gets hurt so no harm done. I dont mind cringe in others. I dont experience cringing as negative, i find it quite entertaining.
thanks, i really needed this.
What did you learn from this video about being cringe?
@@Psych2go the meaning of cringe are physical and emotional actions that can happen at a quiet moment, i’ll need to be mindful of that
Am I the only person who...like...literally collapses on the floor and starts screaming from cringe?
If I have to answer this question, I say no. I am just still learning how to be cool.
I needed this one 😂
How so? Did you find the video relatable?
Yeah thats me
I feel like everyone finds everything cringe!! It makes me scared of doing something cringe without knowing it
Nothing is cringe it's just our perception. If you think you are not cringe you are not.
It is one of the few benefits of getting old that it is something you care less about the older you get.
I love watching your videos ❤
And we love your comment! What do you like about our videos/content?
My dad awful human taught me 1 killer lesson. "Don't give a crap about what other people are doing or wearing. Do what you like, be comfortable over being "cool"
Also my personal "comparison is the death of happiness"
Death Grips "be the freak you want to see" ❤❤❤❤ I dont care what I look like as long as IM smiling I'll do whatever. (Inna safe manner)
Whenever I ask another person about something obvious that I know, I just cringe hard because I had no idea why I did that
We live in society where weird breathing is cringe
I’ve learned to embrace the cringe ❤
ok this is cringe
@@remy4204 😂😂
Man everyone calls me cringe, at a point where idk what im doing and it's starting to upset me so much but they're not telling me WHAT im doing thats cringe
Just before this I was visiting my Journal/Diary and It felt so cringe to read whatever I had written all these days so pretentious and preachy Idk no one else will read or even though those thoughts but I was embarrassed for having those thoughts and also how I wrote them was so cringe I felt like throwing that copy in Bin. I felt cringe maybe because I felt I was so immature and stupid to think like that or maybe because I thought writing would help to document things but when I read it again almost everyday was about the same thing.
Even I might feel embarrassed after seeing this comment an hour later.
Who care what others think of ourselves ? It's not important !
I love this channel always videos which I need at the moment thanks 💕
This video will become a part of meme history
Will you help us make this into meme history?
