15 Phases People Went Through That’ll Make You Wince

We’ve all been through a cringe phase at some point. 

A netizen recently asked, “What was the cringiest phase you went through?”. Below are the top responses:

THE BRUTALLY HONEST PHASE

“The ‘brutally honest’ phase. No, I was being a jerk.”

THE TOXIC POSITIVITY PHASE

“The toxic positivity phase, I was so annoying and dismissive.”

THE BICYCLE-HORSE PHASE

“I used to pretend my bicycle was a horse. I would pretend to tack it up, groom it, and jump it over things. I just got a secondhand cringe from typing this.”

THE FACEBOOK STATUS PHASE

“Posting the worst status updates on Facebook as a kid, my god, some were utterly the cringiest things I’ve ever read.”

THE NOT-SO-PROFESSIONAL RAPPER PHASE

“I tried to become a professional rapper at 14, but I lost a rap battle to a heart patient with a stutter.”

HARDCORE ATHEIST PHASE

"Hardcore atheist turned respectful skeptic. I realized the harshness of my views upon seeing them in others. Still atheist, but respectful of faiths. Know that I don't have all the answers."

THE “I’M NOT LIKE OTHER GIRLS” PHASE

“‘I’m not like other Girls’ and ‘Female simp’ phase. I quit when I realized that was pretty classist and misogynistic toward other women.”

PSEUDO INTELLECTUAL PHASE

“I had this pseudo-intellectual phase where everything and everyone was so interesting. I was living like I was writing for a vice documentary.”

THE COPYCAT PHASE

"My 20s-30s were spent imitating friends and fitting in. It's only in recent years (I'm 33 now) that I've developed boundaries and started living my best life."

THE MARRIAGE DESPO PHASE

“Being desperate for marriage and kids in my 20s and early 30s, like, legitimately crying when I saw happy families. Thank God I’m out of that phase and happy with my life now.”

THE GRAMMAR NAZI PHASE

“Probably my ‘grammar nazi” phase. It was idiotic.”

THE INSECURITY PHASE

"Insecurity phase. I was mentally in a bad state and changed my personality frequently. Wasn't sure how to act with friends from different groups. So cringey!"

COMING OUT OF THE CLOSET PHASE

“Coming out of the closet phase, had a rainbow on everything like I needed the world to know (high school 2007 era).” 

THE KOREAN-POP PHASE

“Korean-Pop (K-pop) phase. I wasted so much time watching K-pop videos and living on the fan forums.”

THE MEXICAN PHASE

"As a Filipino-American, at age 8 I wanted to be Mexican - from watching Telemundo, owning a Mexican flag towel, to eating burritos weekly & learning Spanish."
