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

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.

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.
I Just Don't Really Know What To Say About This One
OP don't deserve children if they can't feel love for any gender that arrives!
Load More Replies...Please. I beg of you, do not have another child. I hope for infertility. Sorry but if a "mother" could say something like that, they don't deserve more kids and I feel so sorry for the ones that they do have.
Yep she is right, you only have a certain amount of love in you. Its only enough for 1 boy and 3 girls
I don't understand this. But I also don't understand gender reveals. No one cares. Only the parents and maybe the grandparents.
No grand parents don't care please stop inviting us
Load More Replies...I have 3 sons and yes, can confirm that I completely ran out of love for the subsequent 2 boys. Zero, zilch. Therapy for all!
Right? Got the one I wanted and the 2nd is just his playbuddy, no love for him, he just coexists with us.. seriously, are those ppl for real? How can you believe that your love for another child depends on its sex??
Load More Replies...You delusional heffalump!! You know you are not going to have a girl just because you want it!
Gender disappointment is a very common but very ignored thing in psychology...
I love how "grieving" people still manage selfies and social media posts to show their "grief".
Agreed. It does not tug on my heartstrings. It's like Paulina Porizkova crying and posting about her tragic oldness and can't find a man. Ugly crier here btw...
Load More Replies...Ok. As a mom of two boys: I totally understand. Pregnancy hormones are very real & do very crazy things to your brain & emotions. When I found out I was pregnant with our very planned 2nd child I was extremely worried that I wouldn't be able to love that baby as much as I loved my 1st child. When I found out we were having a 2nd son, I was extremely worried that I would constantly be comparing the two and that 1) 2nd son wouldn't be as cute/smart/amazing as the first and 2) 2nd would be cuter/smarter/more amazing. Even though NONE of my worries have ever come to fruition, it doesn't mean my crazy pregnancy brain didn't go down ALL of those rabbit holes. I was thrilled to be having a 2nd son and terrified/devastated to be having a 2nd son. It's normal. There's nothing that makes you a bad mom if you experience a disappointment about any part of having your new baby- it just makes you human. You move on &, thankfully, those hormones don't last. hhormones don't last!
Just a bit worrying this whole posting it on social media thing. One of those "think it, don't say it" things.
Load More Replies...Folks put waayy too much into revealing the gender of their child. You are pretty much just telling the world about your unborn child’s genitalia. It’s pretty sick. But also, who knows, maybe your child will feel they are a different sex than what they were born with. So why panic?
My mom really wanted a daughter: really, really, really wanted a daughter. Only sons. I was the youngest. Two aunts had daughters the same year. Mom was really disappointed. Heard this over, and over, and over again growing up. Lesson: My Mom didn't want me. I was a mistake that could be thrown away, and when I was a teenager, that's exactly what she did.
While these thoughts are "wrong", you don't put them on the internet!
Don't have kids last at all or ever again, I'm going to suggest you find a good person to help take the one you already have as you have zero capabilities of raising children that need 100% of your love and dedication. Do those kids a favor
This is about as bad as an actual person I know that was having a third baby and it was a girl and she was pissed because she wouldn't be the only girl anymore and baby girls steal all the attention.
I fucken hate everyone on that app and how it has flooded every other app
Wow. So much judgement by people who have never been in this position. I have and can totally relate. First son born in '82, waited 17 years for the next one and desperately wanted a girl. Went into deep depression when I found out I was carrying a boy, cried most days, in my head thoughts like 'I've done all the 'boy stuff', I want a daughter. How will I cope? Will I love him? Even when he was born, .( hard labour and 10lb born!) the first thought through my mind was 'They haven't made a mistake then.' It was only later that night when I went to feed him that I looked at him and just FELL IN LOVE. i adored him, he and his brother are my world. Don't say she doesn't deserve children or shouldn't breed. Horrible people! Support and love and understanding is what she needs.
I am not surpriced. I had a (ex) friend who aborted after finding out she had a boy, with the intent of keeping on aborting until a girl was born.
yeah... who could ever love a child whatever gender it is. "The child is not important, what I want is important!" what a stuck up ...
Oh you all complain, just wait till you're outnumbered! ( toilet cleaning, constant food)
Each child is an individual, even identical twins are individuals. If you don't think you can love a child, then you shouldn't have children. How about being a foster parent to a girl, if the gender is so important to you?
Nobody cares about your stupid gender reveals. Folks are sick of these games.
At least they didn't start a massive wildfire with this one.
Load More Replies...You mean the woman in the top photo (the one next to who I presume is the husband)? They are likely high wasted shorts. A very popular style of women's clothing bottoms. I personally prefer mid-rise. I don't like it when the waist of my bottoms is over my belly button. It feels constricting. There are plenty of women (and probably men and non-binary people -inclusivity) who really like them, hence their popularity. It is a super popular rise for the waist on leggings, which I find aggravating, because leggings are snug to ones body and that is even more restricting than regular pants. Dear leggings manufacturers/designers: not everyone likes high-waisted leggings! Also, put more side pockets in more leggings! Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk!

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. 😊
Load More Replies...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...
Load More Replies...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.
