30 Cringy And Sad Moments That Will Forever Live As Screenshots On The Internet (New Pics)
Life is a tough nut to crack, and no matter how much we want it to be easy, fun, and fair (to us!), the truth is that’s not always the case. Let's face it – humans are notorious embarrassment (and secondhand embarrassment) machines that, time to time, end up in the weirdest, most questionable and seriously cringey situations.
Some of those moments end up in this corner of Reddit that reminds us all, even the most successful human specimens, that we are… just hoomans. “Sad Cringe” describes itself as “a place for awkward or embarrassing situations that also make you feel sad,” and from its 1.3M members, you can see that people are clearly living for this kind of content.
Below we selected a new batch of the sad cringe moments shared on the group, and after you’re done, make sure to check out our previous features with more sad cringe posts here, here, and here.

Any Other Caption And I Wouldn't Have Thought This Was A Sad Cringe Moment
You called your teacher “mom.” Again. You slipped and fell at work in the middle of an important meeting. You… put your embarrassing scenario in and you will feel that heat wave coming on your cheeks, encompassing your heart, challenging your self-image, and shaking your dignity to its very core. It’s incredible how much we react to these seemingly insignificant situations; it’s part of what makes us humans.
Embarrassment is best described as an emotion dictated by a disconnect between how we feel we should respond or act in public and how we actually respond or act. We are most likely to be embarrassed when we believe we have not lived up to what society asks of us or when we are on the receiving end of undesired attention.
Ouch
Or perhaps it's because he's a Nice Guy™ who feels entitled to sex for showing basic decency?

Sometimes, however, when these unfortunate and unpleasant situations multiply, you feel like the whole world is against you. In these moments, resilience and positivity are key, but these are skills many people still have to learn.
“There are days, weeks, months and even years when it seems like everything possible goes wrong. In my practice, sometimes my clients experience this, and we wind up joking that they are like Job, from the Old Testament,” Lise Deguire, a clinical psychologist and the author of multi-award winning book “Flashback Girl: Lessons on Resilience from a Burn Survivor” told Bored Panda.

Dude, Take The Hint
Over-Compensating
This guy: "I would respect those EL GEE BEE TEES if they didn't make it their entire personality and stopped shoving it down my throat!"
And while sometimes life is like that, the good news is that there are ways to cope. “Maintaining a sense of humor is key, as well as maintaining a sense of perspective. Even many truly unfortunate people still have blessings in their lives,” Deguire explained.
Moreover, when we are miserable, we tend to focus repetitively on what has gone wrong. However, Deguire argues that it will improve your mood to turn your attention to what you do have. “Also, remember that life goes on. You won't always be unfortunate; it's a phase,” she added.
Yeah No S**t

Sadge
Having said that, the clinical psychologist agreed that it can certainly seem that some people are much unluckier than others. “Life can be random, and tragedies can happen to anyone, anywhere, at any time. Still, we can make choices to improve our ‘luck,’” she said.
We can all get back control by choosing supportive friends, making time for the people we love, saving extra money for the future, and eating healthy foods... “all these are examples of ways we can improve our lives.”In the long run, it can seem like we are lucky to have good relationships, savings, and good health, but Deguire points out that it’s probably because we did little things to help us attain these blessings.
Man Pays To Get Cheat On
Yikes. I hope the gf runs for the hills. This guy sounds scary controlling.
Even better if she dumps the controlling douchebag and runs off with the hot new guy! LOL

Apply for the job, get her details, show her the job listing, stand back as she runs away from the bf.
Hired Guy to girlfriend: "Hi, how are you doing? Your jealous a-hole boyfriend hired me to make you cheat. Want to play along and then leave him for me? I'll even give you the money he'll pay me."
Was just about to comment something similar, except with the addition of the hired guy saying that the idea made him (hired guy) uncomfortable and he wanted to give her the money and she didn't have to pretend to like him (hired guy). Unless she liked him better, which would be easy to do, based on the A-hole boyfriends behaviour! Thanks for saying it! Not sarcasm!

$1000 to take her home? Are you testing her loyalty or pimping her out??
I really hope the girl fell in love with the hired man, left that controlling freak and used that grand to go on some nice trip.
This was reminding me somehow of Jerry Farwell Jr.

I feel like this could be a weird sex game this couple is into...like, the girlfriend wanted a stranger, and the boyfriend was into the idea of her with someone else
Hope the guy shows her this and asks her to play along and she'll get half.
Okay but this sounds almost more like a sort of kink/cuckold situation almost? Especially if he's paying extra for the dude to get her to kiss him etc...
Love is built on trust. If you don't trust your partner, you don't love your partner.
Hopefully the man who agreed to do that..informed his gf of his crazy and erratic behavior
So, he’ll pay more, to lose his girlfriend, and he’ll pay less if he keeps her? You know, I think I’m just gonna stop trying to understand
yeah. im taking her home, and you ain't getting her back. /j
Plot twist; The taker shares the post with her, and they agree to share the money. :P I would.
I hope someone took the $50 and went to warn the gal what a creep she was with.
First two things on the list are usually not exclusive things. They are things you do between friends, or friends of friends even. Dancing can be done with strangers as well.

Girl You've Been Using Him
Until the last 2 sentences I was like... sure, your world was ripped away at the age of 14, and you can't be expected to be committed to a relationship that began in this desperate situation, when you were a kid. But then she wants "somebody in my own class," and it's like, well, you're f****d, this guy is way too high class for you, honey, and so is most everyone else....

Even worse, if the guy ends up spending that much on a sex doll, has "sex" with it, and sinks further into despair and loneliness after what I can only imagine would be an ultimately embarrassing experience. That $ would be better spent on therapy. Or uh... anything else, probably.

Do none of these people understand that sex is not the main purpose of life?
Aaaaaaand every one of these posts is yet another reason that if anything ever happens to my husband, I will just be single forever. Not even worth it. Nope.
Ditto. Mind you, I'm 78 so it's very unlikely I'd have to worry about being hit on. 😊

As a demiromantic person, I understand some of these (not all, a ton of these are batsh*t insane). Human beings often feel a strong need for connection to people and when you don’t have that be it sexual, romantic, or platonic, it can lead to a lot of these sad desperate moments
I'm AroAce, but I sorta understand a few* of these. The rest are just... disgusting...
