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?

Bad women for marrying for love! Thankfully there are these “able-bodied men” waiting in the wings who are willing to make you their “pretty wives.” *cringe*

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.

Yikes. I hope the gf runs for the hills. This guy sounds scary controlling.

"Today has not been a sexhaving day, but this has been a sexhaving week". I feel like if I start to use this adjective in conversation with my wife, my sexhaving days will be over... Oh and I too was a virgin at 27, but I got married at 28 and think I've somewhat made up for lost time.

I do not understand how sex is so important to some people
That seems a very long winded way to tell everyone that no one wants t have sex with him.
Firstly, I doubt the average man has had sex at 17...the average man might say he has, but I feel like it's not as common as people believe. That aside, between my level of shyness, lack of dating, and waiting for the right time & person, I was 36. Let the maths commence on that one, OP
I agree - good for you for waiting for it to be right

As a sex-haver, I can say, truthfully, some of those sex having days are pretty bleh. Really need a more nuanced scoring system, like, sex while watching t.v. counts as say, .25 sex-having- day, drunk sex, depends on *how* drunk; bored-sex, etc. Some categories should actually deduct points.
I can’t read any more of these. What little faith I had in humanity is now squashed. I’m going to shower, change my bedding and then sleep all snugly for a day and a half to reset.
because you are boring? also, if you've had sex about 1500 times you will realise it's pretty much the same every time and get bored of it anyway.
Maybe if he spent less time doing the math about all the sex he hasn't had and more time meeting people and practicing his social skills . . . nah. That's crazy talk.
I was 31 , and I prefer to count the things I regret which are zero
Stop fretting and concentrate on your life. If you walk around with a big "F**k Me" sign on your forehead nobody wants anything to do with you.
Save yourself and the human race from this hardship and get neutered.
What is staggering is that this person feels entitled to sex just because he's a guy, and that he actually believes couples have sex that much. .. who's going to tell him? And what is this sexhavingdays? He does realize it's more like sexhavingminutes.. seconds even. He's going to be so disappointed.
i had a Hela lot more sex than 2-3 times a week when i was that age. try twice or sometimes once a day
I don't think this individual is quite well, mentally, if they spend so much time dwelling on this aspect, hopefully not the only aspect, of their life. I think that obsessing about this is not remotely healthy. I am a 40-year-old virgin and I do not remotely obsess over that fact. Nor am I embarrassed about it, for the most part. It is a decision I am happy with, at the moment and that is OK. Just like it is OK to have lost ones virginity at a much younger age, as long as it was consensual. Ideally. I know it doesn't always happen that way, but I wish it did. Hence my virginity status

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...

My faith in just existence itself demands most of those incels turn out to be twelve year old boys. Even my capacity to be disappointed by people just can't take that many adults acting....that.
