Christmas cringe

The feeling of sudden and impending doom after receiving a gift from a coworker or classmate who gave you a gift in spite of the fact that you have nothing in common except that you are coworkers or classmates. This gift is always generic, pointless, useless and frequently related to some sort of poshlust fad.

Anna from the front row actually stood there and made me open it in front of her. I couldn't pretend I had no Christmas Cringe so now she's telling everyone what a bitch I am for not liking the light-up reindeer socks she gave me.

Cringe attack

You recall what cringy thing you have done in the past, and you have to pause everything you are doing to cringe at yourself.

Having a cringe attack is equivalent to having a panic attack but you’re ashamed of yourself.
