I feel like lots of writers go through the stage of being cringy, and while I'm not particularly interested in becoming an author myself, a few writers of the fics I've read have really good works- but when you go back to their first 3-5 stories... it's total cringe. It's not that bad, though, since you can see how much they've developed over time.
(I'm completely aware that the stories I've written, and haven't updated in years, are cringy too. Since then I've developed and it's lovely to see that in others as well!).
