Awkward

As long as social media has existed, women have been the unwilling recipients of cringey, creepy solicitations, and more recently - graphic, unwanted imagery. And as new social media sites and apps are becoming popular, the messages are multiplying. Fortunately many women are not afraid to SHUT. IT. DOWN. These are their stories.

Literally everyone experiences embarrassment from time to time. Of course, some more than others, and we feel for those poor souls. This Twitter user documented her experience with a fellow cafe patron that kind of just sums up those awkward run-ins that make one immediately go red in the face.

Some of us just revel in the awkward and the cringey. Why? Do we just like feeling uncomfortable? Who knows. These posts are awkward, but not too awkward that they'll make you physically cringe. So let the cringe consume you and click here to view even more. You won't be disappointed.

As party games go, 'Would You Rather' is quite the classic. It's a game that involves creativity, cringing, and some serious moral dilemmas. These imaginative conundrums, culled from Reddit, will have your friends either squirming with discomfort or gleefully horrifying one another. Definitely a win-win situation. 

Unless you were one of the popular kids, then middle school was probably rough AF for you. Most of us normal people were braces-clad with a God-awful sense of fashion and a terrible haircut. But luckily, most of us grew up and figured life out a little better, and now we're thriving (maybe)!

And to all of the middle school bullies who tormented us endlessly, we still haven't forgiven you and you can bet your ass that we still laugh at your miserable lives on Facebook. (Looking at you, Amy.)

It's prom season, people! Whether or not you had fun at your own prom, you can take some comfort knowing that it was probably a better time than these people had!

The three Golden Rules with regard to lying are as follows: if you're going to tell a flat-out lie, a.) at least make sure you can deliver it convincingly, b.) lie about something worthwhile, and c.) make sure no one can easily fact check you on that sh*t! 

These lying liars apparently didn't get the memo, and as a result they got rightfully called the eff out!

Everyone goes through messed up phases of insecurity. You may feel small, weird, or like a total outsider. In these situations, we recommend trying to get some perspective. These photos will help you do just that. The overload of cringe should remind you that everything could be much, much worse.
