authenticity and humility
stop doing things for the approval of others. do things your way the best that you possibly can. people respond well to authenticity. a person doing something normally "cringey", but doing it genuinely, and doing it the best that they possibly can, will not come off as cringey to most.
if anyone asks you what you're doing or why you're doing it, you should have the humility to answer properly - no snark! being overly defensive can make people think you're guilty (or ashamed), which triggers cringe response. (you still defend things that are worth defending though, that's based.)
