65 People Who Tried Way Too Hard To Look Tough Online And Only Made It Awkward
Being liked is a desire many people have. Wouldn't you want others to think that you're smarter, tougher, and cooler than you really are? Isn't that what we do when we're in a new place, among people who don't know us — pretend that we're a better, cooler version of ourselves?
The key to being cool is not to overdo it, but for many people online, that's a foreign concept. Folks tend to brag, lie, and embarrass themselves in myriads of ways, all in an effort to seem more interesting than they are. For your next dose of cringe, Bored Panda has collected the funniest and most embarrassing instances of people online acting tough and failing miserably, so proceed with caution if you don't feel ready for copious amounts of second-hand embarrassment.
