If the news is overwhelming at this current point in time for you (honestly, we're always a little overwhelmed by it), allow us to distract you with some cringeworthy images that people have genuinely and unironically posted on social media. The real world is hard, so why not live in the delusions of others? These people think they're so smart, cool, rich or otherwise admirable that they have to brag about it on social media. They usually expect some form of reward, which they're obviously never getting, unless their goals were to make their friends cringe and unfollow them.

We don't live in these people's idiotic fantasies, thankfully, and that means we can appreciate just how idiotic these posts actually are, and maybe appreciate our own limited social skills way more. Thanks to the subreddit /r/Cringetopia, below you will find angry posts from adults, people placing requests on Twitter that are insane, and feet that do not belong on airplane seats.
