Cope How to deal with cringe

[Wiseman]

The NEET lifestyle is great, but one of its downsides is that it increases the frequency of cringe attacks. When I'm not doing anything, it's very easy for my brain to suddenly recall a previous cringy event that happened 10 years ago and ruin the rest of my day.

I noticed that participating in a community, such as this forum, seems to help. That is, of course, unless I screw up and end up posting cringe, in which case the situation would become even worse.

Some two or three years ago I used to take an SSRI, which was great not only in repelling cringe but all negative emotions in general. As a welcome bonus, it also almost turned me into a divine being who had transcended the need for sex. But those effects wear off after a month or so of taking the drug, and I don't even have access to an SSRI anymore, unfortunately.

How do you fight the demons of cringe?

This place is like group therapy. We get to share things that we thought nobody else experienced but us.

Try to find a cope. I have a very good memory and I do remember alot of cringey shit that I used to do back then and I still remember it if I were to think about it.

My memory is terrible but it never fails to remember shitty situations. God just wants me to suffer.

Go ER.

What if, in the process of going ER, something cringey happens

It's really great to know that there are other people like you.

I do have video games and anime.

I'm sorry if this thread reminded you of some of them.

It is truly a struggle, and a pointless one at that. How is this even helpful, from an evolutionary point of view?

Please don't remind me even more.
