embarrassment
a year ago
General
There's 3 kinds of embarrassment:
Shame
Guilt
and Cringe.
Shame is when you fail to be what others expect of you.
Guilt is when you fail to live up to your own standards, exclusive of everyone else's.
And Cringe is the secondhand embarrassment we induce on our peers by our poor standards on social media.
I no longer care about any of these things.
I have no shame, as I don't care what my role in things is anymore, so there's no point in being ashamed when I could give a shit about being of use to anyone.
if anything I'd rather sabotage everyone else's roles. if I could.
I have no guilt because no matter what standard I hold for myself, it just won't ever matter. something will always sabotage my own attempts to live up to anything I value. if not my own laziness then someone else's carelessness.
I take full fault for that, it's just I'm exhausted, incapable of caring. in too much miserable pain to care anymore about anything else but this constant, life-draining suffering I experience daily now.
And I certainly don't care about being "cringe".
If anything I hope I make everyone cringe themselves to death sometimes.
We should make the entire empire we have to live under cringe, honestly.
or whatever that one latin american quote was.
The ONLY reason people care about this kinda bullshit is because social esteem is so interwoven with personal well-being.
you have to live up to others standards to make coin to get bread.
you have to live up to your own for the sake of "closure".
and on the internet you have to be "based" to someone to allow your social media brand to have any hope of succeeding.
if there's anything truly "cringe", it's this entire system of counting the value of people based on anything else but their intrinsic worth as a person.
and yet everyone does this anyway. EVERYONE plays this game of scoring peoples' value on a hierarchy. the whole system does it, even if nobody thinks that way personally.
because society is a giant machine, even if that machine is made of people.
and machines are always impersonal.
