Nope, you're not alone. I sometimes cringe so hard I turn inside out. Cringe is my middle name.

Yes, me.

Crooked teeth, 400 lbs, socially awkward, living off my mother, and a general leech to society.

Sitting here with hopes deep down that my ex still cares or thinks about me, even though she has no reason to.

I don't think you can get any more cringe than this.

I have so many things that I've said and done that I cringe when thinking about. Never cringe by looking at myself, though.

I cringe for sure. There is rejection of the way I look and also my attitude. I cringe my silence and how life made me to be this way. My options narrowing down by the day. Trying to take it easy and patient/hopeful. Doesn't seem to work always.

The word cringe is one of the worst additions to our vernacular. It basically just normalizes reducing a person to the most uncharitable and one-dimensional interpretation of themselves and letting the hyenas loose on them. Try not to do that to yourself.

Yep. I've been doing it so long that it feels like my central nervous system is reduced to jelly. Hard to know what's a valid criticism or a beat-up anymore.

If you're in a position to make positive change, the root of the problem is internalised childhood abuse. We assume that we deserve it and continue abusing ourselves even when we are alone. Sometimes we are less successful in our worldly lives than people from healthier backgrounds, which only validates yet more self-criticism in a vicious circle.

A helpful psychological theory is called explanatory style. In narrating our story, there are the 3 'Ps': personal, pervasive, permanent. Be open to repeatedly challenging thoughts that are inaccurate, preferably with support from others.

One who views negative events as personal ("I deserve this, this only happens to me") isolates themselves in a dark place.
One who views negative events as pervasive ("My entire life is screwed") is taking an extreme bias towards catastrophising.
One who views negative events as permanent ("This could never get better") has written off all possibility for improvement. Buying into these thoughts is a perfect recipe for depression.

When I compare the current me to the old me, yeah. Mad cringe. Cringe maxxing. Cringious maximus.
Not that I even can "cringe", though... my body just doesn't work well enough for that any more.

I'm right there with ya'.

Yeah chances are many on this forum are similar to you.
My case I just can't seem to look at myself in the mirror anymore, I don't even think I'm that bad looking but my caveman genetics really anger me for some reason.

let's answer to everyone!

Cringe is my middle name.
hey we have something in common :)

Yes, me.

i feel you, heartbreak is horrible. Only thing I learned: do what you like, everyday. Trying loving something or someone more than you loved her, and you might find some meaning.

Never cringe by looking at myself, though.
same, the mirror is fine. It's events of the past that make me go AAAAAAAAAAAAA CRINGE

My options narrowing down by the day. Trying to take it easy and patient/hopeful. Doesn't seem to work always.

one girl sees cringe but another one sees a based wizzie
the girl who sees cringe also sees a based kuri

why do u consideret yourself cringe?
because most of my memories are just straight up embarassing

i haven't suffered childhood abuse. i would more or less summarize my existence as 'many of the things I've done are embarassing'

i personally get 'cringe chills' it feels cold and my whole body is paralyzed for a sec

as said above i feel like the mirror is fine (well more than fine, i find myself pretty/hot somedays while others don't, which is fine, might be a tad narcissistic although i despise my personality to an extent) but yeah on this forum even looking back at posts from 2020 by me and other users i just brrrrr *cringe chills*

That seems really lonely and cringe, tbh. Very cope which I usually oppose :( Eh, I've already come to the conclusion that CTB is the way for me.

To each their own, though.
