Okay, you wanna know what really Grinds My Gears™?
Whenever people are all like "oh, you're being really cringey, you should stop doing that, you shouldn't like that lame stuff, just stop."
Like, okay, I get that when people do really cringe-worthy stuff, it can be fucking hilarious-- but it usually just gets on your nerves. Trust me. I'm am eighth grader, middle school is the definition of the word "cringe", I rarely go a day without cringing so hard my brain starts to hurt.
But seriously. It's okay to make fun of what people like every once in a while, but if they're having fun being themselves and not hurting anyone, just let them be.
Especially if this is a teenager or child that's being cringey. I get annoyed when people are all like "never do ANYTHING rude to minors EVER!!!" but if you tell some kid that what they like is shitty and that they should just stop liking it all together, you never know, it could have a negative impact on their life. They could take your advice right then and there and be less obnoxious, but they'll probably just feel really upset and offended, and probably even more cringey.
And, honestly, the people that are like "just fucking stop liking that, I'm cringing so hard" are usually the cringiest people alive. Seriously, everybody's a little cringe-worthy. I'm a fucking cringelord, I know. But like, when people are cringe-worthy (unless they're being that and also being highly offensive or hurtful) just fucking leave them alone. Make fun of them a bit, sure, but not enough that it could really hurt them. It's the cringe part that's funny, not the "ew, just fucking kill yourself" comments underneath.

I need to stop overusing words.
