Unironically yes. You have to stop letting the potential disapproval of others stop you from being yourself. Sure, you may be cringe in the eyes of some, but it is better to live in cringe than die repressed.
Wholesome shitpost

(P.S. if you add a ! to the beginning of the link it’ll embed as an image on Lemmy, though it won’t do anything about Kbin I don’t think)

Any comedian can tell you, they’ve said way more cringey shit in their lives than funny shit.

Listening to comedians talk about doing comedy sounds like it’s more of an endurance game than anything. Just bombing and putting yourself back out there until you’re really good.

That tracks with 99% of the stand-up comedy I’ve seen

Perhaps I am cringe, but that makes me free!
…Except for when I wake up at ngiht in a cold sweat remembering cringe from years ago.

Like what? Trying to write down what cringe shit I’ve done makes it seem a lot more forgivable. Oh, I was a rat snitch as a 12 year old? I got my friends in trouble because they left me out of activities because I was a rat snitch who got them in trouble all the time?
I was caught watching porn as a youngster? Wooow, what an original trauma. I bet nobody else has ever been caught looking up pictures of boobs when they were 14. I’ve definitely never found my siblings’ sex stuff.
I got into skateboarding because of an anime, stepped on it once, fell over backwards and broke my elbow? Now that’s embarrassing. But you know what? I got on the damn skateboard and tried. Would I rather be here right now with that infernal machine still under my bed, never having mustered up the courage to try in the first place?
…Yeah, because hospital bills are fucking expensive

Not using the word “cringe” as a descriptor is the first step on the road to a better life.

I can confidently say I’m cringe af

Hard disagree. Fear, shame and bullying are societies tools against cringe.

CrInge culture is dead. go and do a little happy dance in public, go and recreate that one scene from Kingdom hearts in a Walmart parking lot. Dont be afraid of being happy, we only have one life, no one should shame another one for living it

Glad to hear! I was getting pretty sick of hearing how embarrassed boring people were on my behalf.
