Come my children confess your cringe and be absolved of the parasocial shame.
cringe is dead, listen to megalovania remixes, date a scene girl or become one yourself, skate or die
this is unironically liberating and good advice tbh.
thank you for your posting service commander BASED_BALL o7
One time, I listened to a /r/gonewildaudio on Soundcloud, hearted it, and went to take a nap and my friends texted me, cause the Soundcloud link went to my facebook profile.
Whoever thought that all these interconnected accounts bullshit was great deserves the wall lmao.
Jesus christ thats brutal. makes for a fun story later though! thanks for sharing!
When I was 10 I created an account on Nationstates and the second thing I told my region was that there better have not been any communists in it
I wish i was into radical politics at all then, even if cringe. Its probably better than the shitty habits i keep from my obama lib days . when i was 10 i was just crying about how sinful or whatever protestant brain poison neurosis that comes with it
I feel you. I once agreed to meet up with a Tinder match at a public event I was attending with my friends. I PMed him where I was. Like 20 minutes later he goes "nvm lol". I'm assuming he took a lot at me and bailed.
That’s exactly how I feel rn because the person I referenced probably isn’t that into me and I am really into them. I shouldn’t be thinking about some random person i met once for a few hours but that night of cringey rants and conversations is killing me.
Ill start : this weekend I got drunk and this cute girl was clearly signaling she was interested and I got into ranting David Foster Wallace platitudes like an infinite jest asshole 🤦🏻♂️ I mean she ate it up and seemed to love and engage with it but it still hurt to know I became what I was afraid of. She could have also just been humoring me but 🤷♂️.
share any cringe IRL or online and be free fam
you opened up and that's how we make connections. I think she's into you and I have a good feeling about this
haha thank you I really appreciate your support ❤️seriously yall rule.
i guess we will see though😅
I was talking about the “default setting” where you assume you are the center of the world. you could be miserable and think everyone else is in your way and judge them for whatever. When in reality you have no clue what they are going through and you could really be in the way of something much more serious. for example the guy who cuts you off could be rushing to the hospital or the hummer asshole could have trauma you don’t know about where they can only feel safe in a hummer.
which basically just describes modern alienation and a sort of radical benefit of doubt. This sort of forceful rejection of the self serving bias will help you connect with other people and curb the existential loneliness at least a bit.
Wallace used the same examples
The thing is that, of course, there are totally different ways to think about these kinds of situations. In this traffic, all these vehicles stopped and idling in my way, it’s not impossible that some of these people in SUV’s have been in horrible auto accidents in the past, and now find driving so terrifying that their therapist has all but ordered them to get a huge, heavy SUV so they can feel safe enough to drive. Or that the Hummer that just cut me off is maybe being driven by a father whose little child is hurt or sick in the seat next to him, and he’s trying to get this kid to the hospital, and he’s in a bigger, more legitimate hurry than I am: it is actually I who am in HIS way.
I summarized lmao i was cross faded so like it was more scattershot but the radical empathy probably came through i guess because she wasn’t turned off from it.
Can confirm, have mood disorder and my feelings about people's intentions change all the time :( Mindfulness is the only thing that's helped me, basically it helps me pause and consider the possibility that there is a harried parent trying to get their child to safety instead of it just being an asshole who wants everyone else's day to suck as much as theirs.
TBH, I feel like the last thing applies to me when I am depressed and I feel I'm not the only one.
update if anyone comes across this. she replied when I tried to pin down a date and I definitely think she either wants something super casual or platonic. I think this because she insists on using the term us in reference to herself or you guys when saying how she wants to hang out with me. which is ok but cant lie im a tad bummed.
everyone was super paranoid then, rumors of backpacks full of moltovs and wreckers and stuff. i don’t blame you. you did what you thought was right, you will be wrong sometimes. but its better than not trying and never being right ever.
unless he was proven notacop, what was cringe about this? Standing around and on my phone would be what I would do if I was a cop to keep my buddies informed. The only thing you could have done was talk to him and, "are you a cop?" is a joke.
I was just making a Dashboard Confessional joke, but my brain does this unfortunate thing of replaying cringey shit from my past in my head. Like a lot. And it goes back to things that happened when I was 10.
[REDACTED]
EDIT: guess im still too paranoid to talk about it oh well
I collected alpacassos when I was in my early 20s. I still have them in my bedroom. They're cute idk. I guess they make me look pretty juvenile. I hit the kawaii stage late into the game because of bullying in my middle school years.
I just googled it and my god those are so adorable I don’t blame you. weeb or not alpacassos will be permitted when the weeb purge comes.
Aged sixteen, telling my little sister that there are, "only two genders." In response to finding out one of her friends is trans. Said friend wasn't even non-binary, I was just an internet poisoned shit head.
