Happens to me many times.
Yes.
Why yes, it was on this site, why do you ask?
Ah, yes, the old MySpace/Xanga/LiveJournal/Facebook days. On the plus side, it means you've likely grown since then. So, yay for maturation!
Perhaps something said in a moment of anger, frustration?
I was bored and going through old forum posts on this site and had some 'wtf' moments reading some of my own comments.
Lol, of course
Definitely! Now I will write it out but not post yet. Go back and edit for craziness, then post.
I lay in bed at night thinking of all the embarassing things i’ve done. & online posts are at the top of the list.
nah
Nope. All my cringe worthy material pre dates the internet…lol
I think if you haven’t written or done something regretful you lack critical introspection. I have written plenty that I regret. Sometimes it’s the content, sometimes tone, and if it was one puff too many of sativa it may have been nonsensical. But hey, that’s life.
Er..... probably most days? The ADHD filter fails are a real struggle 🤦🏻♀️😬 Add in a hefty dose of rejection sensitivity dysphoria and that conversation plays on repeat with negative commentary FOREVER 😅
Guilty 🤷♀️🤭🤣
Pretty much everything I post, yeah.
Yerp…
Occasionally I will be reading the comments on a social media post and read a comment, see it was my own, and then have a major case of “did I really say that?”
Often, this feeling comes as a result of the most innocuous comments, too. It’s not even anything scandalous or inflammatory. I think it’s a phenomenon that happens when you read your own comments in real time as someone else would and start to experience self-doubt. It just never looks as good as it did the first time you wrote it. Of course, the lack of any self-awareness or self-doubt surrounding yourself is more than likely indicative of a larger problem…so I’ll take the post-post regret for 800, Alex.
Coming across something you wrote two weeks ago like: https://giphy.com/gifs/cbc-schitts-creek-dB12mOQb99BwDlM83I
Occasionally but not much. When others say something possibly cringy or off I overlook it if I see they have a good heart. This is a good thread, but Mike hardly needs to worry about sounding cringy/bad. His good heart is not hard to see.

Yes for sure. Just the other day here I assumed and had to delete it.
Definitely. I've googled myself and found comments from when I was teenage-ish...THOSE are cringeworthy 😅
Is cringe an adjective? Maybe this will be the post.
Yes, but that realization means that we are improving. And to be less judge mental with others when they might says things that make us cringe
