My life is cringe, I cringe myself all the time eventually though you realize if everything is cringe then nothing is.

Putting anthropomorphic animals or video game characters in real human cities with real looking humans:

 

These things make me cringe:

 

This is screenshots from Mario Odyssey and Sonic The Hedgehog 2006. Two games I cannot play, touch, or look at without crying in shame!

 

Why not put these cringe worthy pictures as well (that came up when I searched for the word anthropomorphic animals):

It is probably also because Swedish might not have that word. Like, Swedish doesn't have the word "Frown".

Neither does spanish, but I can understand the concept.

Pretty much, something causes cringe when said something provokes an overwhelming feeling of shame and anxiety. The shame part is what really matters to make something cringe. If it doesn' make you blush or feel shame then is not cringe. Cringe and uncomfyness go hoof in hoof, since the first is so severe the second pops up from it. Is like cringe is the worst expression of awkwardness and shame something can reach.

Personally, my ex used to make me cringe badly. She was downright bad for coming up with stories and her artstyle is overly edgy. Like wolves and demons and blood and any teen "dark and edgy" with skulls and scythes and spiders and "creepy smiles" edgyness. Unfortunately for her, she never grew up from it nor did she evolve it into actually interesting edgyness and darkness. Guess I feel better for finally venting it out xD

I also cringe at exagerated attempts at saccharine cuteness and at agenda-driven fanart/fanfics.

And then there's a whole lot of cringe I can't get to describe fast enough but I bet this video can sum up better.

As much as I like furry memes some of them are so so cringy. And also just generally memes with unfunny jokes lol

Was at an auction at a furry convention once, and there was a dad bidding on a large mystery pack of pony stuff that his kid was clearly extremely excited to get ahold of.  It got to the point where it was already being bid at more than it was worth, people conceded, and were gonna let the dad win it for his kid, then last minute some random  guy put in a bid raising the price quite a bit more simply to see if the dad was willing to pay more, and the dad did. 

It was cringeworthy to me anyway.  I think the crowd thought so tooo cause they gasped the moment he did it.

I told my best IRL friend that I am a Brony. That was cringe worthy

 

Thankfully he was too tired to judge

Remembering all the dumb stuff I used to say as a kid. I was a really cringe-worthy kid.

Me thinking about dumb crap I did as a kid.... yeah now THAT'S cringe.
