cringe therapy

A self-help tactic used to remind an individual of how bad the individual's ex-partners were. Cringe therapy involves an individual staring at distasteful pictures of a particular ex-partner until the individual cringes (or expresses other negative reactions) and returns to more productive activity.
1: Dude, how'd you get over your breakup with Jeff so quickly?
2: He was a dick, bro. I forgot all the things I hated about him until I started cringe therapy.

Schrodinger’s Cringe

The idea that cringe cannot exist in a vacuum, and once it is observed it changes to either cringe or based instantly and irreversibly
For example, two friends doing furry role play alone together but since no one else is there to see it they cannot be cringe nor based
Drew :“Lilli and Myah in 8th grade were a total example of Schrodinger’s cringe.”
Isaac: “yeah they had no idea how annoying they were”
