    Fr tho, I’d rather be cringe and myself than surround myself with people who wouldn’t like the real me :3

      I find it amusing that this is like the epitome of cool. This means that if a person’s goal was to become cool, their surest path there would be to forsake their quest of coolness and learn how to be unabashedly themselves

        I think it’s only cringe though, when you try being something/someone you are not. Just “trying” something isn’t cringe in itself.

        If I went to a skate park and tried to learn the skateboard I would definitely suck but it wouldn’t be cringe, imagine a middle aged man with knee protection falling on his ass.

        It would be cringe if I went there all dressed up in the latest skate fashion trying to blend in with the cool kids, throwing some skate jargon around.
