It's like, I have a hard time watching reality tv, some news interviews, people streaming themselves on the internet because of this. They are either just so cringe, having an argument/debate with someone, or they're doing something that i'd be embarrassed about that I can't even watch it. I have to shut that shit down immediately.

online randos would really account for that? I would think it pertains to being in a situation with people you know in real life.

I care less, but when I was younger I couldnt watch a lot of 00s comedy movies for roughly the same reason. Especially any Will Farrell shit was pretty much unwatchable.

I literally power walked out of a movie theater when I was on a Tinder date years ago because my date clapped at the end of it lmao

My 1st watch through for a lot of episodes of The Office made me feel 2nd hand embarrassment for Michael Scott. He was just so cringey it was excruciating.

What a great show.

I can't physically handle most cringe comedy or anything like that

None at all, I don't understand the concept. I'm not responsible for other people's cringe, I can barely manage my own cringe.
