Think of all the cringeworthy things we do. Like realizing you were walking the wrong way and having to do a complete 180 on the street. Or assuming your coursemate asked for your number because they thought you were cute and gently telling them that you're seeing someone only to understand they just wanted to work on your group project. What about waving to someone who's definitely waving to a person behind you? That's a classic.

Now multiply the embarrassment these actions have caused you by approximately 1,325 and you'll know what to expect from r/Cringetopia. As you may have learned from our previous publications on this subreddit here, here, and here, it's the place to go to when you want to confuse and disturb your mind. Which, I guess, everyone has to do every once in a while to keep themselves in check—if you find that the content below doesn't bother you at all, please contact your shrink.

I hate when people always have such exaggerated pity over someone eating alone, especially since I've experienced it myself. A few years ago, I was eating by myself at school, when a custodian went up to me and started telling me not to do that because "it was making [her] sad!" and reacting with "Aw, poor thing!" to nearly every justification I tried to give. Maybe I just like eating by myself, damn.

If it's so distressing, why didn't you go over and ask to share his table. Of course that's assuming you're an actually human being and that the "upsetting" bit isn't he's a more mature man eating in the same establishment as you....
