>>33281248You know that feeling you get whenever you think about a time in your past when thought you looked cool dancing, but you regret it because you probably made a complete fool of yourself in front of dozens of people, and think they were actually laughing AT you not WITH you? You might also wish you can go back and erased this incident from existence. Similarly, you ever get that feeling whenever you watch someone else--who themselves think they're doing really well--embarrass themselves on stage in front of a huge audience because they had trouble reading their cue cards? These are examples of cringe. The image you posted is weird af, but NOT cringe. Hell, if anything, it's funny. Cringe might've fit if it were some tryhard trying to be all serious and edgy but failing at it. Think Coldsteel the Hedgehog or My Immortal. It'd be cringe because the author has full confidence in their work even though they're failing so hard that it's embarrassing to watch.
