Grammar Cringe

When you see grammatical errors in a post and can't do anything to fix it. The cringe is worse if it is someone you respect or would feel bad to correct, or something that you like or agree with. It's like a booger hanging out of your best friend's nose but not being able to let them know.
I couldn't help but grammar cringe after reading my English teacher's post about her grandmother dying, because it had so many misspelled words and improper punctuation.

pseudo-cringe

When someone acts in a cringy manner, knowingly, in order to instigate laughter among a group of people who understand the deliberate cringiness.
The way Teddy texts is pseudo-cringy, as all his friends know that he's intentionally writing that way.

The teacher acts in a pseudo-cringy manner which makes the Z-GEN kids laugh. ( Pseudo-cringe-ception: pseudo cringe within pseudo-cringe example. )

Resting cringe face

A resting cringe face (RCF for short) is similar to resting bitch face, but instead of an angry or irritated face, the individual instead unintentionally maintains a cringed sour facial expression. Imagine watching the most cringiest meme video or literally sucking on a lemon, that's the kind of facial expression people with RCF make.

They might not realize that they're cringing their own facial muscles, but many people will notice. RCF is also far more contagious compared to RBF. For example, when you see someone with RCF, you will immediately start cringing too and you will feel incredibly bitter and gloomy.

RCF is relatively uncommon in younger people. Older aged women (49-65) are often the ones that suffer from RCF.
