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

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.

Three Years
Op Gets Some Bad News
so many man babies. My kids stopped doing the "how come he gets..." back when they were 7.
Glad to hear it! That's the right age to stop that kind of mentality. Particularly in certain men. Not all, but some
Load More Replies... Notice how men fall in love without even getting to know a woman. If he didn't know she had a boyfriend and had feelings for her, all he cared about was looks. Try getting to know someone first!
Yep, "this cute Asian girl" makes me wonder if he has a fetish. Plus the infantalization of calling a woman a girl :(

It might... MIGHT... be that it's not just "he happened to be in the right place at the right time." It might be that women actually choose to be with people based on their desires and interests and whether someone meets those criteria. Nah, probably all just luck. SO UNFAIR BRO
Yep. And I feel bad for the woman who doesn't know what a creep he is. I had this one guy follow me around the bookstore I used to work at. He literally used to sit in the coffee shop inside the bookstore and stare at me. Couple of times he asked me out I lied and said I was married but that didn't deter him. One night shift close to Christmas, I locked up the store around midnight, couple of other girls with me, and we parted ways in the parking. As I get close to my car, I see him parked couple of spots down from me and when he saw me he started waving at me. I pretended not to see and quickly started my car started driving. And he started following. Luckily I knew there was a police station close by and I went there directly, and he drove off. After that my male managers used to make sure that all girls made to their cars safely after a night shift. That was one truly scary incident, and I've had my fair share.

Where the hell do these guys get the idea every girl they latch their eyes on immediately has some weird "reserved" sign flashing over their heads, and when these girls dare to LIVE THEIR LIVES without them, the guy is insulted/upset? Girls are not like something you put on hold and decide later to date. Just... ugh!
When you don't think of women as people, only possessions

God, men really do suck. Like he's entitled to have her?? Like she has no choice in the matter. Like speaking with someone means you're interested sexually?? God, I hate men.
Dude sounds like he's trying to live in a some sort of soap opera. It's not that real. A girl giving you their time, doesn't mean they owe you some kind of relationship. These guys are unbearable.
What is with these guys that build up a non existent relationship in their heads with girls they barely know without even finding out if the girl is taken first... then it's her fault, the boyfriends fault, f****n everyone else's fault when the idiot gets his feefees hurt? WHAT THE ACTUAL FUKK
Well, first of all: never, ever, ever try to date people at work. They are there for employment, not dating opportunities. Dating needs to be restricted to environments where people can easily run away ... which also means, no family members, lol. Makes family reunions awkward when you break up!
Therapist. Needs to not focus on obtaining a women. Stop it. You're only hurting yourself, focus on making your life better as an individual.
Unless you're Brad Pitt or George Clooney, you have no right to assume that an attractive girl finds you attractive too.
Life isn't a rom-com or a soft-porn. Women don't date every guy that they smile at. It's not being at the right place at the right time, it's SHARING feelings with each other.
I can understand being disappointed someone you're interested in is taken, but dude. He needs professional help.
Gee, I can't imagine why a prince like that always has to "drown his sorrows in booze. Again." /s
i am sorry if this is wrong but it looks like a fake post i mean the end looks dumb if i am wrong i am sorry
Ugh, pardon me while I lose my lunch quietly in the corner of the room.
Everything he says indicates he believes he can own someone and that a girl could never choose to be with someone. She just gets passed around with no say. - WHAT is in a man's head that suggests women are nothing more than blow-up dolls with heartbeats? I hope the booze wins this drowning. This guy is dangerous.
I’d say that girl definitely dodged a bullet. Seriously, I can’t tell who’s more Emo, this guy or Batman(recent one).
no, but he is acting as if she were an object to be claimed by any man, if only she weren't "taken"....objectifying us is as bad as blame. it's reductive and dangerous, and the basis of many a violent act against women.

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...
