Depends on what you're being cringe about.
Cringe is one of those words used to put down people who are happy just doing their own thing
I'd say the programme curb your enthusiasm is pretty cringe.
Or is it different when it comes to comedy??
I think the term applies in the same way to both. Larry David is content doing his Larry David thing. I find it uncomfortable more often than not, but different strokes for different folks, right?
in the words of Keith Ballard in his coming out video, "cringe is an inevitable byproduct of sincerity."
Aww i thought i was coming up with that idea lol, thats a much better way of butting it than i had..

Ok but there's a bunny on the tarmac and that could be a concern
I may be cringe, but I'm free
Think the less I care if I'm cringe the more comfortable I feel.
Ive always thought honesty or authenticity as being kinda related to cringe. Like somone who has no cringe is kinda a non person. Bit of a half formed idea but i think i am onto somthing...
Corrección a Keith Ballard already said this in a better way
Cringe is just the presentation of the mundane as exceptional and saying that observation is mean is just a way to cling to it for a little longer.
Get a load of Heidegger over here.
I did not think of it in those terms but you are right cringe and word chewing represent an ultra-extrapolation of Dasein into the absurd. Incidentally my grandmother met Heidegger on the kneipe stairs in Freiburg, that is not a euphemism. At least I hope its not.
Those are big words for a deodorant to say
I am the cringe
What if I’m both but only mean when you laugh at me for being cringe 😬
Depends on how cringe you are.
