50 People Who’ve Hit New Levels Of Cringe And Got Posted In The ‘Cringetopia’ Online Group
Watching cringey stuff is painful. Our eyes are running away from it, our gut is repulsed, maybe even our muscles are involuntarily contracting. But we can't help it. Teens congratulating their classmates because they are black, a woman licking a toilet bowl in hopes of starting the 'coronavirus challenge'... For some reason, we need to see how these things play out. Even if our body is refusing to allow it.
The subreddit r/Cringetopia is a gold mine for this type of content. With 1.1 million active members constantly sharing some of the cringiest things they can find on the Internet, it's just getting bigger and bigger, too. Continue scrolling and check out what they have collected so far!

It’s Actually Quite Sophisticated Stuff
Frieder Paulus, a psychologist at the Lübeck University in Germany, told Quartz that embarrassment is social: it tells us when we have violated a social norm and makes us feel bad for doing so. But it's not clear why exactly we have the capacity to cringe or as scientists call it, feel vicarious embarrassment.
We feel others' embarrassment because we are empathetic—we imagine how someone else thinks and feels because it determines how we treat others and cooperate with one another. Feeling second-hand embarrassment might be just a byproduct of a more important trait, much like how the belly button is a symbol of the umbilical cord.

Why do some people just spew garbage from their mouths about the things they do not know about? It's awful if a tornado drill image can be twisted to form such hate in people.

It should. Even picking up a child without the parents' permission is questionable.

Wow, So Relatable!
Gosh. Life can be so tough sometimes. Our thoughts and prayers are with this poor young woman.
how do you even find a way to tease someone like that? "hey kylie you sad? ha ha go cry on a silk couch with hundred dollar bills as tissues! loser!"
I hate that people like this exist. Millions of us are struggling to make ends meet while working our asses off... forced to see people like this, who have never wanted for anything ... have EVERYTHING given to them. I think of people who are terminally ill right now and count my lucky stars that I have my health... people like her should never be allowed to have that much money. She could literally donate more than she earns and her children's children would still be set for life.
Too bad stupid people made her & the sucky family rich. Stop watching their crap show and buying those cheap lip kits LOL
Easy one, Kylie! Just give away all but a few millions to live on, and no one will tease you any more! I'd be glad to take a million or so, just to spare you the agony of being teased by your sisters.
I think posting a buzzfeed thing is cheating... (this is a joke. Another buzzfeed is currently number one with a caption saying posting buzzfeed is cheating.)
I like how she always looks completely different in her phooshop pics
That’s relatable for 2,825 people as of 2019. In other words, that’s probably the most targeted article in the world.
OMG SOOOOO relatable! My sisters tease me all the time for the whopping $10 I have in my money box!!!1!!!!!!!!!!!1!!!
Aww, poor baby, must be hard for her, but I bet it's far from the first hard thing that this slag's dealt with before.
This makes me think of the arguments between Batman and Superman saying Batman is more relatable. Yes Batman is human, but I don't find someone very wealthy to be relatable. On the flip side, I didn't grow up on a farm, but I did live in a small town. Also, no I don't have anything near his powers, but growing up overweight, I could relate to worrying about hurting someone unintentionally.
They should tease her for having a completely different face oh wait they all do...
"I was bullied growing up" "how so?" "My sisters made fun of my billionaire status because I faked it."

What A Simp
Domino's Or Sex?
Teaching "abstinence-only" simply doesn't work. Teach the kids about safe and consensual sex and about birth control. If you really care about fewer children getting pregnant and requesting abortions, this is the only reasonable way to go. (Nothing wrong in abstinence as an idea, though.)

I like elon musk made an appearance SEVERAL times during this article.
It literally went from cringy and somewhat wholesome fun to frikin sex, racist, and news related bullcrap. 41094728_6...c9feff.gif 
The internet doesn't make people stupid, it just makes stupid people more visible.
I have said it before, and i will again...big companies need to start saying they will look at everything when hiring, they will see you eat a pod, lick a toilet, disrespect atrocities, be racist, homophobic etc and you will never get a job. They need to do it so that kids see and make better choices, because something is not working.
These people make me look like a genius. Shame so many are still in the gene pool. Now I can sleep the sleep of the just.
My friend's little dog got out right as we were finishing up a walk, came running up to my dog and I didn't realize he bit her in the nose. She had 11 pups so she just rolled him and scared the pee out of him (even though he tried to bite her again), looked really surprised when I was like "whoa!" Then I was so off-kilter that when my friend reached out her hand I F*****G SHOOK IT. I forgot she loaned me a coffee cup I was still holding. I now have to fake my death and move to Mongolia.
Ripley Dog - I enjoyed your post, though enjoyed isn't really the right words it's more schadenfraude XD (if it helps, off the top of my head, i regularly respond with "you too" when a shop person says "thanks for shopping at [example]" then scurry away. Or my son's favourite tale to reminisce over: when we were walking into the supermarket and the wind flipped my dress up [thank God I was wearing leggings so it wasn't as bad but still!])
