a term to describe a negative thought process that causes you to stop doing anything due to the fear of cringe. This irrational fear can stop you from doing anything productive and can create personal mental barriers.
e.g. you don't want to talk to your family about your feelings because you feel it would be "cringe" which would then mean that you would avoid talking to your family about your feelings. A cringe complex usually causes a person to be depressed about their situation and not feel like certain options are ACTUAL options due to the fear of being cringe.

Refers to speech or behavior characterized by a banal, affectless disregard for the violation of proper taste and/or societal norms, generally driven by a belief that the traditional social order has been irreparably disrupted and thus certain actions that were once considered cringeworthy have become commonplace.
Derived from the literary genre pioneered by Chandler Morrison, which often involves characters who partake in reprehensible actions that are described with a flat tone of nonchalance, and that furthermore fail to elicit appropriate reactions from other characters present in the scene being depicted.

How was the dinner party?
Ugh, it was so post-cringe. There was this guy who was wearing white after Labor Day and talking about all of the people he's killed with a hatchet, but no one even batted an eye.

cringe culture is people making fun of others, simply for their preferences. i want to let all of you twits know that cringe culture IS dead, and you shouldnt be making fun of people who are just doing what they enjoy doing <3 people usually hate on people who do gacha, or are furries. you use "uwu" or "owo"? thats honestly so adorable. you do gacha? id love to draw one of your characters. youre a furry? i admire your work and the effort you put into making that suit. you guys are idiots for making fun of people for what they love.
ben: ew, you do gacha?
laura: yeah, what about it?
ben: gacha's gay
laura: using "gay" as an insult is stupid and TERRIBLY offensive to the LGBTQ+ community, first of all. second of all, darling, i can do whatever the absolute fuck i want :), and third of all, cringe culture died while ago. so move your donkey ass along, and go bitch about something else, okay? bye love <3
