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.

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

Cringe trash usually refers to a form of media in which the user unknowingly displays poor social skills, a complete lack of shame, and completely misunderstands their following. This mentality is usually accompanied by a form of personality disorder.
The videos were difficult to watch as they were complete cringe trash.
"Hey do you watch Sarah's Youtube channel?" "No way! That thing is cringe trash!"

The state you reach when the ultimate amount of possible cringiness is achieved.
It's a dark uncomfortable place where you don't want to go.

I just saw Jacob Sartorious' new video. It was the pinnacle of cringe!
Anna: I just watched an episode of "Glee". The cringiness was over the top!
Zoe: Did it reach the pinnacle of cringe?
Anna: Yes it did.
