30+ Times People Got Themselves Into Awkward, Cringey Moments That Will Make You Feel Bad For Them

by Liezel

Whether it's letting out the biggest fart of your life in front of your entire class or wrong sending that NSFW message to your boss, we've all had our fair share of "please let the earth swallow me now" moments. Even the suavest of all suave people have their own moments they would love to forget.

Some people though have it worse than others. While some people could simply laugh off their awkward moments, others have cringe moments that are just so bad and so scarring that they haunt them and keep them up at night for the rest of their lives.

They could never live it down. If it were us, we’d also find it incredibly mortifying although we have to admit that there’s something absolutely entertaining about them when it comes to other people. 

Maybe it’s because it’s not happening to us or maybe it’s because we’ve gone through the same thing and find it comforting that we’re not alone. Either way, it’s honestly quite fun and weirdly satisfying to read about.

So steal a moment for yourself and take a look at these people’s cringe moments. They will definitely make you feel less alone and even less embarrassed in your own awkward moments.

No matter what happens though, all we can do is to keep our heads up and to keep moving forward. At least, we know that we're not alone in our awkward moments and that there is probably somebody else dealing with something worse than us.

We're all just human after all. Awkward moments are kind of our jam.
