Is it normal that i cringe a lot during a movie/tv show?

3 Comments

Is it normal to get constant second hand embarrassment? Like for example if I am watching a TV show and a character does something I don't like (e.g. lying to their friend/partner about something even if the lie seems convincing enough.) Sometimes I get to the point where I want to skip 5 seconds of the scene or start telling myself "It's just a show, they're just actors."

    I get the same, there's even a subgenre, cringe comedy, marc maron dabbles in it occasionally, the series that makes me cringe the most is the original office, especially first episode of the second series

    ricky gervais was a comedic genius at his best, shame he's gone downhill

    Cringe = self shame. You're projecting your insecurities into the tv show.
