“Cringetopia”: 35 Of The Most Mortifying Moments Shared On This Twitter Account

b-because i *looks down shyly* want to be an e-emberassment to anyone who ever knew m-me uwu *blushes*

Because they have grown up online and don't know how to converse with real people. Learning all your social skills through anime and tumblr cannot be good for you.

Because they have conflated anime with real life.

*gasps, starts blushing* h-how dare you! >-<

So annoying

So many people do it and it doesn't make any sense

Because their parents failed then. Instead of parenting them, they pushed a screen in front of them.

Because nothing beats the real thing and they are so desperate to convey realism that it looks ridiculous. Or not. I don't know and I hate it a lot too.

Who would talk like this at all?

It’s infuriating.

I *think* they think they are being errr relatable or flirtatious? Frankly they sound like idiots, but that is just my opinion

Anime

Beacuse they don't know about emojis.

Anime and k-pop

Because they watch too much Anime & play too many video games. Turns them into this.

they think its quirky and cute they dont realise how cringe it is

*waddles up to your ear to whisper in it* because they’re roleplaying and back in the early years of the internet they used this form of self expression rather than emojis.

I've no idea. *Scratches head and looks bemused*.

How will the robots learn to b-b-b-blush?

This was actually a thing here in… the 90s with young teens.

well back in the day, before broadband and everyone's internet was practically just one step above tin cans, and before gifs and emojis, we communicated this way in chat to try and express a mood or feeling and what not. Granted, not everyone did but I came across my fair share in chat rooms who would do this. It was cringey to me in the 90s and it's still cringey today.

It's no more annoying than the massive influx of "online speak" that has been flooding the internet the past several years. Ridiculous slang and terms that make it impossible to carry on an intelligent conversation. Too many people have told me that they feel the need to dumb themselves down in order to use social media. That is a trend that is becoming more apparent every day.

It vets the crazies.

They hope that someone will think it cute and take pity on them. As if pity is a great way to start a relationship 😑

Because the cringe has gotten its hooks deep into them

Because they're socially awkward MORONS?

Do they? Or is it just faked by creative people?

Great question!!

They're 12.

Stupidity

So cringe every time! Ew!

It's kinda cute. Poor guy is so shy so it helps him process his emotions and thoughts.

B- b- because I- I like to make people feel uncomfortable UwU/j

This happens in the gay community a LOT. In my twenties I’d get asked at least once a week. Mostly because I was very social, but I was always nice & engaging with whomever was nearby at a club or bar. I resented the assumption so my go-to response to the partner asking ( it was always one, never both) was, “no thanks. I means, I get why you’re asking but I’m not really into/attracted to your husband/boyfriend, either.” The not so subtle implication was enough to always disarm them.

Came here to say this! I'm not bi, but I know that my bi friends get asked this a lot.

obviously 🙄

Move to an american house, they're more cardboardy.
