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.

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.

This is a SERIOUSLY disturbed man and Zoe should get a protection order ASAP. That boy gonna snap.
This is how rapists/stalkers/mass shooters are made.

I know this isn’t the point of this post but Im concerned for Zoe Kravitz. Gross and clearly disturbed individual.
I absolutely agree with you! This guy is clearly disturbed.

Exactly. That's why I said someone needs to reach out to her people and let them know about this guy. He could be dangerous.

I would think it would *hafta* be, because what REAL woman would put up with this kinda 🐎 💩? Always being second to … someone who doesn’t exist in their lives? The man obviously needs genuine and thorough help, but what about her? Has she NO self-esteem at all? She’s okay playing second fiddle to a pillow and a fantasy? She needs help, too, though of a much different sort and much less urgently.

How the hell did he get an actual girlfriend that wasnt a pillow? 🤢
There are some women who are so desperate to have a guy, ANY guy, that they'll put up with truly sick and insane specimens like this. Being unattached is NOT as horrible as they believe, and can be a LOT healthier.

Someone who knows who this guy is needs to send this to Zoe Kravitz so she can get a preemptive restraining order against him. Including a photo of him that she can copy to her security detail would be a huge plus. This guy’s not wrapped well.
Can you imagine seeing this, as the actress, and seeing how insane some random douche is about you to the point of producing ‘fake’ sex tapes?! I would be scared shitless.
This story is making me scared for Zoe Kravitz. How could you be "in love" with somebody you have never met? She's a beautiful young woman, but you don't know her. Maybe she's a big jerk, maybe she chews with her mouth open, or maybe she's a human being with her own ideas about who she wants to be having sex with. This obsession is seriously problematic.
'... it was clear that our relationship was healthy and strong.' Not a single thing about this was healthy. Not one. She as was so smart to finally realize he has mental problems that only therapy will fix. And he will probably never get that help because he sees nothing wrong with his obsession. Someone needs to alert Zoe Kravitz. This guy is one step away from abducting her.
I agree, the internet is full of people lying for attention. I really hope it’s fake anyway!

I wonder what would this guy say if his girlfriend treated him as a substitute for some hansome actor. Although I think (hope) it never happened. Who would put up with this s**t?
"My gf starved herself to stay skinny so I can imagine I'm screwing a woman who doesn't even know I exist. Our relationship is healthy and strong." Wtf?
She knew from the beginning that she was #2 in my life. Icky disturbing
Glad she broke up with him as the chances of him finding another woman willing to do this c**p is probably 0.0 %. Can't believe he found her in the first place and she was willing to go along with it! Poor Zoe Kravitz as well. Downside to fame- some totally delusional idiot putting your face on his sex tapes. Ewwwy yuck.
What does allos mean? Sorry for asking but Google didn't help me out.

This poor woman has some serious issues with her self-esteem when she agreed to this circus.
Glad the girlfriend finally grew some self-respect and walked. She can do a LOT better than an obsessive stalkery creep who puts her second place or worse.

If you just read the tldr it doesn’t seem as bad but if you read the whole story… wow :0
No idea who Zoe Kravitz even is, but I have a sneaking suspicion she has no idea who OP is, either. Oh well...
Sounds like the real Zoe Kravitz will be seeking a restraining order soon.
The girlfriend had to have low self-esteem to go along with this. Poor woman!

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.
