There's something I want to say, if you cringe at seeing the actions of your past self.
First, don't see it as self-degredation. You were younger at that time, maybe physically, maybe emotionally, maybe expertise-wise. But now you're older. And with age and time comes wisdom and understanding.
If you cringe at your younger self for something you still do or used to do, that feeling of cringe is actually a sign that you've improved. Ever cringed at your past self dancing or singing or performing? That's because now you can sing, dance, or perform better than you were in the past. And use it as reassurance - the more you do at your own craft, the better you'll become. Never let your past hold you back, and always take any mistakes you did in the past as watch-outs for you in the present and future.
If you read the entirety of this comment, steal the show and never be ashamed.

Ultimate cringe?
invite someone to share your life as a close friend, in your little mini farm after 5 years of vetting. letting him rent your back house for a killer deal. Wrong,
he was never a close friend, I was just a narc magnet, I know better. now
For 2 years now, reruns in my head, and the old guy cant sleep well syndrome. I dont feel or act like Im 60+. Except at bedtime.
Grey Rock is all he gets from me now, but he was the first new friend Id made in a long while, real Confidence breaker, autism spectrum is a bigger issue than I ever knew. & Everyone else passed away,

Yesterday at school I walked into the bathroom with my mind on drum stuff and a female custodian was in there, but she was standing on paper rolls so she looked tall and I thought it was a dude in a fruity shirt, so I continued on in until she said something. Apparently I scared her and her feelings of safety, to the point some other librarian lady had to ask her if she needed a hug. Ive never been more embarrassed in my life

I sorta talked to this girl in my class, asking if I could have her number cuz I wanted more video game friends (I have social anxiety, and she asked if I had a ps4. I said no, and she rejected me and apologized cuz that's all she plays games on. I felt so embarrassed like omg why did I even ask that and replaying the way she responded over and over, cringing while I tried to sleep that night.

I dont want to be talked out of perfectionism. I don't want to have a coping mechanism for failure, failure is not an option, I wish for a self destruct feature to always be reminded that there are standards to live by or else I will lose my head. I am fatphobic, cringephobic, intolerant, I don't like things that look unnatural or unnormal and sometimes wish the defect units to be scrapped.

This is an interesting video, but not what I was expecting. Seeing the title, I thought it was going to be about things that can be described as cringe and how we as a society decide what makes something cringe. But maybe that's too long and complicated a discussion for this format.

I tend to cringe at myself at things like when my gut feeling on wanting to be direct about my intentions to someone that I wanted to be platonic (To not cause misunderstanding of romantic) towards in the past turned out to be correct all along and blew it instead.

When I hear Bollywood romantic songs or movies then it reminds me that Once I thought love was the cure for loneliness.
until I fell in love with someone who made me feel lonely.

For some reason I remain unaware when I'm cringe, I'm not sure if ASPD is to blame for that, but I found it interesting, I can definitely cringe at others though

You'd think something like Shame Resistance is a fast track to egotistical and narcissistic behavior.
