What makes you cringe about yourself?

25 comments

1. That my dating life is a mess

2. My dad jokes/puns (I’m a 26F lol)

3. Sometimes I probably try too hard to inject levity into situations with jokes and quips that are only funny in my own head.

4. Every time I see a picture of myself with me smiling.

5. [deleted]

6. That I still subscribe to the never-ending burden of performance men seek for their legacy and tribe, instead of living only for myself off grid somewhere.

7. Ignoring all the clear signs of disinterest. She’s not playing hard to get or a bad texter, she’s just doesnt like you and wants you to fuck off.

8. My size and voice

   And looks

9. Appearance and awkward personality

10. Still replaying in my head – those awkward moments I caused in high school.

11. My voice.

12. That I’m lonely and can’t stop focusing on it so much

13. Things I’ve said in my teen years

14. Size and dating life.

15. I said something to my friend’s instructor when I was 11. Looking back at it I still cringe super hard.

16. I catch myself over talking sometimes in conversations.

17. everything

18. That I didn’t shoot myself when I had the chance.

19. Being on reddit when I’m 59 years old

20. That I always procrastinate and suffer later

21. Financially dependent at age 37. Don’t want to need my mom’s help with anything.

    I’ve been very shy and have kept to myself too much. I’ve never been in love. Never had sex.

    Didn’t figure out my gender identity (trans male) until later in life. Still hope to transition…

22. My anxiety, lack of social skills, difficulty making money, inability to let go of the past

23. Bald spot on my head that keeps getting bigger. Or will I be grey before I loose all my hair?

24. Dealing with some unresolved childhood trauma that sometimes manifests itself with me being a bit of a jerk as a defense mechanism amongst friends:

25. Sometimes I can be awkward, and not in the endearing awkward way either. I also frequently bump into people or walk in their path and we do that awkward “pardon me” dance. I hate it lol
