Cringe blindness occurs when someone is unaware of either the cringey behavior around them or their own cringey behavior. Cringe blindness leads to a lack of any self-awareness or ability to notice social cues. Finally, an individual suffering from cringe blindness will be unaware of their suffering or the suffering of those around them.

When you have to pee in a movie but don’t want to miss anything, and must do the following mental equation: will the amount I have to pee cause enough discomfort to diminish my attention capacity for the remainder of the movie to an extent which is greater than the amount of the movie I would miss by making a mad dash to the restroom.
