People often get into embarrassing situations, and it's almost always their own fault. Whether it's due to a lack of preparation or a lack of attention, most embarrassing situations can be avoided.

One of the wonderful things about being human is that we all can relate to each other in some way. We have all done something awkward or embarrassing that we would love to take back or erase from our memories.

This could be a picture from years ago that we cringe looking at, or maybe spilling food on ourselves recently. An effective way of dealing with our own embarrassment is to laugh at someone else's misfortune.

That is why the online community of r/cringepics exists. It is full of embarrassing and awkward images that can make anyone cringe.

But it is quite impressive to see that the r/cringepics subreddit has managed to amass over 1.5 million members. It just goes to show how engaging the online community can be when it comes to observing and critiquing hilarious blunders.

Sometimes, we use criticism of others to make ourselves feel superior, pointing out their flaws and feeling better as a result. We may also use this judgment to figure out what we want for ourselves, understand where we want to be, our goals, and how we don't want to emulate the people we have judged.

But be careful, as you may end up feeling the same embarrassment! Are you ready?

We are often warned from a young age not to judge people, as it can lead to us missing out on discovering the true nature of someone due to the limited perspective our judgments provide. Despite this, judging others is a common human behavior that happens both deliberately and unconsciously.

And we love doing it. Don't we?

But, to be honest, these people deserve it.
