Some of us have too much trauma for being made fun of as children for doing cringe worthy shit. It's not fun and whimsical for us to be forced into it as adults. It literally hurts to expose ourselves to that again.

    Yea, I was too. I grew up autistic in the rural US South. I know all about getting made fun of for being "cringe".

    The thing is though, holding onto that trauma and letting it dictate your life instead of learning to cope with it and move on is incredibly unhealthy.
