Flawed Reasoning That’s All Too Common On Twitter

Cringe can bring up aphysicalresponse to embarrassing situations, which is totally normal. In the case of cringing, we are trying to “move away” from the topic or situation we’re so uncomfortable with. Hence, your shoulders are tensing and your face is scrunching, in hopes that it all goes away.We feel this way because we compare ourselves to others, while simultaneously trying to decide what is socially acceptable. The awkwardness comes when we sense that people have assessed us negatively, and we start to worry whether we’ve made a mistake or behaved inappropriately. So when your high five gets ignored and you feel like you want to run and hide, that is why.

The earlier cringe culture of the 2000s was about second-hand shame and empathy, which inspired a whole genre of comedy that mostly comes from putting characters through the most embarrassing situations possible or having them say the most embarrassing or offensive things imaginable. Cringe comedy often uses a documentary feel to make it more natural and increase the awkwardness factor. Additionally, the characters might not be aware of the embarrassment they should be feeling, making you watch these shows through your fingers.

Many people fear shame and embarrassment, so the question is: can we avoid it? The short answer is no, not really. Everyone is prone to making mistakes or doing something silly in a social setting. However, there are some ways you can minimize your chances of becoming cringe-worthy. Staying true to yourself, avoiding trying too hard to impress others, and being aware of your social context might help you achieve this. Practicing social skills, avoiding offensive humor, and respecting other people’s boundaries is also a great way to eliminate the awkwardness.
