Second hand cringe and embarrassment just reading it

[-] Enfors@lemm.ee 1 points 3 weeks ago

Honest question: Isn't cringe actually just second-hand embarassment? That is, isn't cringe when you see someone else doing something embarassing?

You might be right. English is my second language so maybe I interpret them differently. For me they describe two similar reactions, but quite different feelings.
