we are all those people being made fun of in cringe videos online. we are all, deep down, minecraft hoody chubby ipad kids calling someone a dipshit on roblox. my thesis with this is, it isnt so much embracing or avoiding cringe, but accepting that we are and can never be aware at a given time of it. it is equally insufferable to be the equivelant of the 14 year old trying so hard to be unbothered and nonchalant, because they too are cringe in their own way. take the middle path- don't give too much of a shit about self awareness or lack thereof, we all look the same
