An adjective to describe an awkward, embarrass feeling when a person says something strange but satisfying. In essence, someone has told an unspoken truth blatantly instead of euphemistically.
Person A: You know, you've been my world friend. Thanks for being here all the time.
Person B: *cringe* Wow, thanks for telling me that. It made me really happy, but it sure cringed me.

"He is so fucking cringe. Or maybe....his isn't. Perhaps I'm just projecting my own lack of confidence by calling him cringe."
