Browsing: Cringe

What gives us the authority to decide what is “cringe”? We cannot possibly consider ourselves so important to be the all-knowing determiners of what is the norm. We’ve gotten so wrapped up in our perception of others that it’s warped our sense of self. The reason we joke, “to be cringe is to be free,” is simple — it gives us an excuse to be ourselves in a world that is often far too judgmental.

Being cringe in a world choked by judgment is an act of bravery. Be brave. Embrace your inner child. Maybe you will discover a new interest, and being cringe is actually fun.
