Since summertime began and school got out I've had a lot of time on my hands: and that means a lot of time to look back and cringe at old memories.. being the extremely awkward human being that I am, yikes, there are a lot of them.

At the beginning of last year I had to take P.E. so I could earn the credit and let's just say I'm not the most athletically inclined person.

My teacher had broken his shoulder and didn't show up for about a month after school started so we were stuck with a substitute. The substitute was requested to make our class run the mile, so he dragged us all out to the track. Keep in mind that it was about 90 degrees outside and my class was composed entirely of sweaty 9th graders, so running laps around an asphalt track was pretty terrible

After about my third lap I started getting really tired but I kept on going. I was a couple feet from crossing the end line when I lost my balance (and also one of my shoes xD) and fell face first on the track.

The substitute ran over to make sure I was okay.. My knees were scraped up pretty badly, but otherwise I was fine.

So for the rest of the year I was known as that one girl who fell down on the track during the first week of class.

And whenever I saw the substitute that was substituting for my class that day he would ask me "how are those knees?" XD

Does anyone have any cringy stories so I don't have to be awkward alone? XD
 
I used to be hardcore into MLP before the fanbase got really really weird. Then somebody made a particular plushie and I decided it was time to stop associating with it entirely before it got out of hand.


I still really miss it to be honest. There were lots of nice people before it got crowded.

- in 6th grade i'd wear the same outfit at least three times a week because i liked it so much
- i fell asleep in class and while i was at it, got a nosebleed and woke up to seeing a puddle of blood on my desk
- my friend found my 'adult toys' while she was in my room
 
i wouldn't say this is cringy, it's more of a rude story ?? but it's kind of cringy since my crush was there next to me when it all happened so that's what made it cringy to me.

well it was a concert & i had this pretty red dress on! a girl complimented it, i would say "thank you" but since my crush was next to me, i tried to "play it cool" and say "i know right?!" then she looked at me like i was a snob and left.. my crush just looked at me like "wtf is wrong with you" i just blushed & was so embarrassed of myself. but my crush (he's not my crush anymore) & i are really good friends now. so i guess that all makes up for it :)
 
Thanks guys xD I have plenty of stories so I might as well keep posting them c:

In my culinary group last year there was this guy who had a crush on me. He asked me out but I didn't have the heart to turn him down so I told him maybe.

Then he started dating my best friend and I had to spend the rest of the year cooking meals with him.. It was beyond awkward XD
 
i was counting something and my middle finger went up last after counting from 3 and the principal saw; he was chill about it though he took it as a joke but i was mortified
 
on the first day of class my japanese professor told me to stand up and tell the class my age.
numbers hurt me, they were the most trouble i had. because i learned the numbers "shi (five), shichi (seven)," instead of "yom, nana" that were also five and seven. and he wanted us to learn it by "yom/nana"

because i got mixed up in the numbers, and was crushed by impending doom and embarrassment and pressure, i told the class full of adults that i was a fourteen year old with a straight face.

professor was like "....really?"

i knew it was wrong so i tried again, and told them i was eleven.

i wanted to bury myself alive that day. he wouldn't let it go for the rest of the semester.
saying stuff like "i would like to tell you guys this story but we have minors in here" *stares at me*


and it was even worse when some of the guys in that class were from my highschool of the same year. and there was a cute guy in that class that i wanted to impress. i mean at least i made him laugh so that's a positive thing but... *cries*

Isn't it funny how all day cringe-inducing thoughts surface and you're suddenly rolling on the floor in embarrassment, but when you try to remember one... you can't? I think this means impending doom for tomorrow when the cringe-dam is unblocked.

OH! I remember one! When I was in a tourist trap in Florida with my extended family this summer, I was flashing my sister my underwear as a joke in the hotel room when we were dressing and when we were out sightseeing my dad wanted to me to go zip-lining with him over the middle of the tourist trap. Problem was: I was wearing a dress. I say no, and my dad asks why not? My sister then turns, looks my (Just married into the family) uncle, and shouts over the music, "SHE'S NOT WEARING ANYTHING UNDER HER DRESS!"

I was wearing underwear. Buuuut we usually wear silk shorts over them in dresses, and I wasn't wearing the shorts since we forgot to pack them, thus my innocent lil sister's remark.

I replied, "GEEEEEE THANKS!" And I haven't made eye contact with my new-uncle since.

I know exactly what you're talking about, my friend was really into it until that point too... XD

School was filled with cringy moments for me oh my lord.

At one point during my "scenekid" phase I dyed my hair half blue, half red, and did my bangs purple/pink color... I bleached my hair to get it vibrant and then for the next couple of weeks a few choice people called me "Bozo the Clown" one of them being my mom. Then I dyed it all one color after that thankfully, but I still "fluffed" it for far too long. I dyed it so many color that senior year my hair was all dead ends so I got my hair just super short so it could finally live again. XD
 
I still look back to this one - as it was kind of embarrassing.
So, I was in the school show (1st Year - age 12) - and on the 1st night of the actual show - we had to change into different costumes, and be ready for the next scene.
Upon getting changed - I couldn't find my costume (it was in the other room, but I forgot where it was.) And, so, everyone else was wearing the correct costume, and I was wearing the wrong one. I was very embarrassed that day. XD
 
I'm having fun reading all these. xD

Anyways, I had to sing a solo in my school play. Did not go well at all.
 
Here's something cringy!
Not really a story about me though.

I was at my friends house (I was around 7) and I was about to leave. My friends mum was going to drive me home with my friend so we put out coats on and her mum pointed at my friends coat and said "Go on! Zip it up!" and I just said "What?" then she repeated it but more angry so I thought she was saying to zip my friends coat so I did. She was laughing so loud and humiliated me. She told all my other friends mum's and they all laughed at me.

That still haunts me .-.

I almost forgot a really good one.

So about maybe a year ago I was at this indoor trampoline place with some friends at school. I did a backflip on a trampoline and my butt felt like really cold. I looked down and I saw my pants were ripped! They were torn all the way down. I don't even know how it happened tbh. So I had to eat the food and go home with ripped pants. At least they were friends I know very well, and we still laugh about it now and then.
 
I didn't find it cringy two years ago, but I do find it cringy now. We had to do these speeches and I decided to do mine on 3ds, everyone was doing all of these mature subjects and there's just me. Everyone seemed so bored doing my speech.

And also, a couple years ago I used to like MLP, and someone I knew found out about it and now the fact he knows haunts me to this day.
 
^ Speaking of ripped pants I went with my mom to the dock near the park and I was walking down the railings that led to the dock with my legs across it, it's hard to explain but I was holding the top bar and walking with my legs spread and my feet on the bottom bar.... here, like this-

And there was a lot of people at the park including some school friends of mine, but I was just chillin, doing my spider walk, then one of my feet slipped on the bar and my legs split apart more, and my pants ripped all the way from my knee to belt loops right in the middle of my butt and then down one leg, it was the weirdest thing. Thankfully nobody saw and I ran to the car before anybody got the chance too. One of my friends saw me in the car and gave me back some glasses she had borrowed and i was so relieved she didn't see me rip my pants. my mom laughed and told me that's what i get for having fun.
