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.

If you're feeling down on yourself or like life has dealt you a raw deal, take comfort in the fact that you're not one of these horribly cringe-worthy individuals. From horrifying social media posts, to regret-filled pieces of "art," we're willing to bet these cringe pics will make you feel a hell of a lot better about yourself and your situation.

Being tall comes with its fair share of struggles that us average-sized folk just don't often consider. First of all, constantly being asked if you play basketball must be incredibly annoying, and not fitting into airplane seats sounds rough as hell. 

So because you guys have to experience a lot of BS, we thought we'd bring you these relatable pics to help ease your daily struggles!

It's a pretty well-known fact that ignorance is bliss. These tidbits from an especially uncomfortable AskReddit thread are definitely proof of this theory. One masochistic user asked the community to share all the glorious factoids they wish they hadn't learned, and honestly - we feel the same way.

Lena Dunham had a lot of nerve when she attempted to kiss Brad Pitt on the lips without his consent at the premier of Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, which they both star in. 

Beside the fact that the move was just straight up awkward and cringey AF, people on the internet have been accusing Dunham of sexual assault, claiming that if the roles were reversed, she and her fans would be up in arms over it, labeling it a "Me Too" situation.

Dunham already didn't have the best reputation with the internet as is, but this little stunt she pulled has really been the icing on the cake!

#UnwantedIvanka is a trending Twitter meme roasting poor Ivanka Trump for appearing in an awkward video where she attempts to fit into a conversation with Theresa May, Justin Trudeau, Emmanuel Macron and Christine Lagarde at the 2019 G20 Summit in Osaka, Japan. Since then people have been photoshopping Ms. Trump into various inappropriate situations. 

We've all been in awkward situations like this before so you can't help but feel just a little bit bad for her!

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 schoolwas 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.)
