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.

He finally found a mate and was able to produce offspring shortly before his death.
I Feel Pain
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?
Man Tries To Get Two Lesbians To Marry Him And His Homie
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*
My Friends Daughter Just Died ... Giveaway Time!!
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.
I Just Don't Really Know What To Say About This One
Found On Another Forum
“Worst She Can Say Is No”
Doordash
If the guy took a picture of the delivery and fills out the form saying that the client was his/her ex, it might go the reverse with doordash suspending the ex's ability to use the app. LOL

He Just Wants A Dominant GF, But He's Too Alpha
Him claiming this and then seeing his profile pic is a really hilarious combo. ...Is that too mean?
Alphas aren't a real thing. That whole study - which was done on wolves, not even primates, let alone humans - was debunked by the study author when he realised it was a flawed methodology to study captive groups instead of wild ones.

Almost always the biggest, strongest, smartest man in the room" Nooo, no you're not, not even close.
Male lions are incredibly lazy and are whipped by the lionesses. So yeah, I guess you kinda are.
Aka: i'm insecure, try to hide it by being a d**k, attract insecure women who are used to abuse and bully them.
I somehow harbor doubts he is the smartest guy in the room but then I can't be sure what company he keeps.

Everyone, he did say "almost biggest, strongest, smartest" bahaha so cringey...
The yugest and bestest and coolest bro

Are you sure it’s not 0 girls that you are attracting? Why announce this? Are you seeking validation? Therapy.
Yeah, it's like "rich" or "famous" people announcing they are rich or famous. If you have to tell it, you are not. And definition of "smartest" is so vague - in room with Stephen Hawking and Jordan Belfort, who's the smartest?
Bit of an unfair contest, since Belfort is still alive. I can add up quicker than Albert Einstein but only because the bastard's dead AF.
Load More Replies... "almost always the biggest, strongest and smartest guy in the room" because he is almost always alone in that room in his mother's basement.
I get the feeling that these are the guys who end up hiring dominatrix workers - which isn't bad. Really, it's probably good if it gives him a sense of balance in his weird world.
He's "almost always the biggest, strongest, smartest guy in the room" but occasionally his mom brings him his dinner and then he's knocked down to second place until she leaves...
It’s because the confident experienced women see right through you, lol
If you think you're the smartest guy in the room, you aren't.
If there's one thing I absolutely cannot stand, it's when men refer to themselves as "daddy". Unless it's a child calling him "daddy" and he IS the actual daddy to that child, it's just plain creepy! It's equally annoying when women engage in calling their SOs "daddy"
Kicking these types out of the bar doesn't get old. It's just neccessary.
Seems like a rather confused and ignorant guy to me :( (more in need of help than mocking)
If you have to *say* you're an alpha male, you probably aren't. Also, I'm not sure this dude would be the smartest in the pre-k classroom, even after the teacher steps outside.
I think someone that is not so IQ:y is going to rank them selfs higher than average. https://youtu.be/RAlI0pbMQiM?t=450 (sorry to the person in this video for this referense though). And then the true ranking: https://youtu.be/RAlI0pbMQiM?t=655 not to comment on the rest of OPs post..
Wait, is he commenting under a post featuring a cartoon character? Yeah, that just screams "alpha," doesn't it?
If you were the smartest guy in the room, you'd know that that "alpha" stupidity is just a misunderstanding; it's only how wolves in CAPTIVITY act.
And then I woke up to the sounds of mother screeching for me to come upstairs to eat and I still have a sock on my **** and laundry day is next week.
Guy looks like Attila the huns 32nd cousin. I wonder if he's got tiger blood too?

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.
