    nahh dude, cringe doesn’t mean “be yourself”, cringe means that you make people feel uncomfortable. Don’t be a dick, please.

      It depends, I think, on if that thing should make them uncomfortable. Making someone uncomfortable because you’re acting threatening or something is a bit different than making someone uncomfortable because they have unreasonable standards.

      I hate to say it, but I think you are the one being a dick here my guy. I feel like calling people out for being themselves is more of a dick move than someone being themselves and making some people arbitrarily uncomfortable. You’ll never be able to make everyone happy and forcing yourself to do so is a recipe for self doubt and an inability to self reflect in a healthy and constructive way. I’d rather be cringe any day of the week.
