The urge to share cringe-worthy moments reflects our understanding of social norms, allowing us to bond over recognizing what others might fail to see in their behavior.
Research indicates that experiencing cringe isn't just about discomfort; it also highlights our ability to engage in social discussions about the mistakes of others.
