Maybe it's something you did, or perhaps just a random occurrence that you had no control over, but for some reason someone thought it was cringy.

One time a girl sitting behind me in class said that February birthdays were cringy. When I asked why, she said that they just were. I told her that my birthday is in February, and she just sort of shrugged as if to say "well, guess that makes you cringy." It was a strange interaction, and I still don't know why people born in February are cringy.

My brother was born in February. I wonder if there's any truth in that 🤔

Liking dinosaurs at 14. I was very confused, because this person just butted in to a conversation between me and my friend.

Unrelated, but what are your favorite dinos? Mine’s a Spinosaurus!

Idk whats cringy about liking dinosaurs, they seem pretty awesome to me! I've always liked stegosaurus, mostly because my mom gave me this cool stegosaurus plushie that she had when she was little!

For saying something was 'cringy' and not just saying 'cringe'. Apparently I wasted a syllable.

Yes you did. And you'll never get that syllable back! Seriously though, that's stupid 🙄

Not me specifically, but it bothers me when people call someone, whether it’s a content creator or a person i know created cringy for just being themselves. Silly, goofy, not caring about looking good or being cool. I always think “wow. i should be that genuine.” and then someone calls them cringe and i feel like i need to stick up for them

Exactly! My friend has a channel on YouTube with content that has a bad reputation (some people make really gross stuff with the app) and the amount of hate she gets is insane.

Honestly because I’m transgender and gay, everyone thinks I’m cringy.

Isn't that kinda the opposite of a toxic relationship? I mean yeah, distance is good sometimes, but i think if you're in a relationship you should want to spend time with the person you're in it with. Idk tho, I have zero romantic experience of any kind

I once got called cringy for complimenting someone, “I like your outfit!” Upon asking why it was cringy they said “well, because you don’t know them, and your simping to them and it’s cringy” I liked. Their outfit.

Wow. I honestly don't know how they got there logically. So are we not allowed to compliment people's outfits anymore? That's just sad.

because i don’t care enough for having public social media accounts where i show off my perfectly curled hair and my perfect body and my nike shoes and my dior makeup and my chanel perfume and my gucci bag and basically everything designer. all of which i do not have. and i don’t need to feel inferior for that. i’m not perfect and i can’t pretend to be like everyone else does. i’m not here to do what everyone else does. i don’t follow trends. i make my own trends. i do what i do. i don’t follow, i lead. well, i don’t lead anyone in particular because everyone else is busy following…well, TRENDS. but then again, i’m LEADING myself to the right path. in thirty years none of this will matter…so why bother?

Also, I just read your bio, and I'm so flattered! Didn't know I was big sister material! Just so you know, I too have strict parents who don't know about my account on here. (Shhh, don't tell them or I'll lose internet access).
