There are a few different types of cringeworthy content out there. Sometimes we cringe at things that are just embarrassing. Someone did something a little tone deaf and looking at it is just a bit painful. Other times we cringe but feel a little sad about it. Something that is both sad and cringeworthy is sort of awful to see. These people are just so desperate, delusional or lonely, that things that they say, as horrible as they are, are just full of sorrow.

Some of these people deserve the shame they get, because what they're saying is truly awful, others probably just need some therapy and maybe better friends. Sad cringe is like watching a train wreck, it's a bad sight to see but you can't really look away, you just need to know what happens. Here are 21 posts from Reddit's /r/sadcringe that are so cringeworthy, you might just feel a little bad for the people behind them.
