While most of us can internalize that we all have different preferences, some people’s actions are so annoying that we can’t help but shake our heads in frustration. Even worse, through constant repetition, certain actions end up becoming accepted or at least tolerated by the majority of society.
One netizen asked “What's something other people do that you find really cringy?” and people online gave their examples of things that have become too normalized. We got in touch with No-Hamster7526 to learn a bit more, so get comfortable as you scroll through and be sure to upvote your favorites.

I'm a guy and sure I did it it as a kid but it's so low class for adults to do it.

People who demand attention. Need to be the loudest in the group/room. It’s exhausting

obnoxious/pretentious people especially in public. i’m a freshman law student, and whenever my class goes out to hang out there’s this one mate who heavily uses legal jargons, references, and terms around other people just to let them know that we’re law students. it’s so annoying. like chile we’re still on our first semester lmao.

Back when I used Facebook, I found it cringy when people boasted about how happy they were with their spouse . Why are you telling us this. ( it automatically made me say to myself that they must be having problems) Or people who would come on and say life is great and everything is working out for them. I am so superstitious, I feel like a piano would fall on my head if I went around boasting how happy they are.
People filming themselves at the gym is another one. Uggh, just stop it already.
Cringiest thing I did on Facebook was keep the world updated on how my divorce was going.
