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

Any Other Caption And I Wouldn't Have Thought This Was A Sad Cringe Moment

ggboi7367890002 Report

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.

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*

If it helps, I (man) recently married my husband (also man), so I guess these were our assigned wives? The balance has been restored.

For every two gay women, there's probably two gay men, so they aint denying any man a wife statistically

Never understood that thought. You shouldn't marry based on if you can make a baby between the two of you. You should marry the person who enjoys being with you, supports you, loves you and you do all the same back. Why deny someone's happiness because you think it'll make someone else happy? Neither would be happy.

And in today's news, we've found the corpses of two able-bodied men who died of old age and boredom awaiting the day two beautiful women would stop loving each other and love them instead.

I think even when those (or any other) gals were into men, being "able bodied" is last think they will be looking into.

Heaven forbid they see the ladies as humans and not just things to show off, like a wristwatch or gold tooth. I'm still mind-boggled how any man can believe women aren't capable of surviving without them. - There is a reason all fairy tales end the story with the girl getting married off. Beyond that, there's nothing they want little girls to know about.

So, women are just accessories? Husbands and wives (usually) live together. Then you ought to get along, have fun in each other's company. What do you think about their interests, their world-views, their politics? Apparently, they are just pretty faces to this dolt.

It would have been better if he said we'd marry said way, with the TWIX but all live together so you could travel the world together in mutuality, without prejudice from those communities in above normal finances, because you NOW have FOUR incomes to contribute to solidarity. It could work... For a LONG TIME actually. And you shake on the holiday tailfeathers.

My Friends Daughter Just Died ... Giveaway Time!!

My Friends Daughter Just Died ... Giveaway Time!!

expertlycore541 Report

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.

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.

Mojo-Jojo-6285 Report

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.
