Cringe

A physical or mental reaction to seeing someone do or say something that gives you second hand embarrassment or is just morally wrong.

This can be used to call someone (as an adjective) to point out how they’re behavior is pathetic or weird in every way possible.

Cringe can also explain your reaction when seeing or hearing something as well, like when you hear about someone’s injuries. That feeling you get is cringing. Things can be cringe too, like dead memes.
“You’re so cringe. Please delete all social media for the sake of humanity”

“Did you hear moth’s new pronouns? They go by mushroom/mushroomself.. that’s so cringe.”

Cringe

A word most often used by insecure, low self-esteem, low-confidence individuals; typically gamers. Generally used to express hate toward someone or something they don't like or don't understand. Incredibly overused and has lost its original meaning of awkwardness.

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