There's a lot of cringeworthy stuff out there, but it's not always accessible at all times. Most of us want to burn every photo of ourselves during our emo phases or ensure we delete every message in uwu speech we receive. But fortunately, not all evidence of cringe is deleted. Some has been carefully preserved in the cringe museum that is Reddit's /r/cringepics.

Though looking at it can make you flinch, a little bit of cringe content can be a good thing, contrary to popular belief. It's not so bad. Not because it isn't terrible, but because it's so terrible that it's absolutely hilarious. It also helps us feel a lot better about our own awkward phases, because they couldn't be nearly as bad as some of the things you're about to see, and you can take pride in being quite a bit better off socially than some of these people. We've collected some of the wildest cringeworthy photos to show you just how embarrassing everyone else is, too, and it's worse than you can imagine.
