What's one of the most cringey phases you've ever been through?

I tried too hard in my teens trying to get the attention of boys I liked. If I saw any of them even today I’d still want the ground to swallow me up. None of them ever reciprocated how I felt - not even one.

Whenever I did date a guy and we broke up I sometimes took it pretty hard too and wasn’t very private about it at times. I wish I could take that back bc it put a lot of pressure on me to at least appear like I got my act together which lead to more stupid decisions.

The last time a break up happened I took it really hard, made a big spectacle of myself, realized I created a lot of drama for my friends who were really worried about me. So I rushed into the next relatnsp to make it look like (and maybe even believe myself) that I had finally moved on to a promising future and let them off the hook from their worry. But it wasn’t promising, it kind of sucks even worse actually.

Yeah I got issues….
