cringe derangement syndrome

1) Rather than living genuinely as your true self, letting the internet's notion of "cringe" rule both your every action and affect your judgment of others.

2) To have a highly, highly overtuned cringe-detector, to such a degree it makes you not just judgemental but, most crucially, insecure. In every action you take, you worry of coming off in a way that is "cringe" and this insecurity you too project onto others, in effect being judgemental of anything you would have yourself avoided doing in fear of its "cringe."
A cringe man will always think he's based, but a based man is truthful to his cringe self. To live otherwise is to have succumbed to cringe derangement syndrome and became the most cringe of all.

CDS Sufferer: Hey did you see that cringe ass poem Ronald wrote? Was it meant to be deep or something? Lol??
Lao Tzu: Tell me, oh judgmental one. Would your life not be better, were you to also allow such art to burst forth from yourself, both shameless of its quality, and fearless of the perceptions of others? This standard you hold yourself to, this arbitrary delineation between "cringe" and "based," this self-limitation and negativity that infects your heart, yes, I find it to be the most cringe thing of all.
CDS Sufferer: You're right... I wrote a bunch of poems too, but I shredded them up for fear of people thinking they were bad or faux-deep. I will now be truly based: I will be cringe without shame!
