It's hard to say why we love to cringe so much. Maybe it's just a great reminder that our social skills maybe aren't so bad. After all, we might be socially awkward, but we'd never do or say anything as ridiculous as these things. Fortunately, Redditors have captured the cringiest pictures of all for us to laugh at. No one we know in real life is capable of such horrible cringe-inducing behavior, but these people were dug up from people's real-world interactions with bad dates, terrible sales techniques, awful social media posts and many more things that shouldn't have been said or done. But now that someone made the horrible mistake of doing this, we can laugh at them for it. Take a look at some of our favorite images that are sickeningly cringeworthy.
