Lack of self awareness, if you say shit like "as my hatred for humanity grows..' with a moe anime avatar, you're doing it wrong. No really, I saw a comment like this on a video covering nihilism or some shit like that.
 
Usually when something feels forced is what I feel is super cringy. Like really shitty youtubers acting.

Also if Vrakks does it too...
 
The best cringe is a combination of both in all honesty.
 
I'll go with Lack of self-awareness.

I personally see it as something or someone that is considered just way too stupid to be funny, but not enough to be considered sad.

Cringe pretty much constitutes as anything that makes you go and do whatever it takes to forget whatever it is you just experienced, especially if it comes down to the solution to it all. Suicide.
 
Lack of self-awareness and people's mannerisms.

A lot of little kids throw the word around way too much though, which is embarrassing in of itself.
 
I dunno, I think it's possible to be cringy while knowing you're fucking up. Like, imagine one of those TV show where a guy is trying to talk to a girl he likes, makes an idiot out of himself, and beats himself up afterwards. He was fully aware that his behavior was awkward, but it was still cringe. Maybe I'm splitting hairs and/or generating cringe here, but you get my point.

Cringe is something to do with being out of place, but it's hard to put a finger on it.
 
I cringe when people use the word "cringe" incorrectly, which is all the time since it's a hot meme. Then I keep cringing because I'm using the word incorrectly, which causes more cringing, which then puts me into a loop of awkwardness that only ends when I pass out from exhaustion.

Anyway, I cringe when I'm riding in the passenger seat and the person driving slams on their breaks.
 
For me it's knowing how it's going to end badly. When I know something is going to come off as horribly cheesy or horrifying that's when I really feel like it's really cringey. However there are different levels of cringe in my opinion. Something small as a child not knowing something is relatively low on the scale, but when an adult acts really immature that's when it really gets bad.
 
everything is cringe these days it's one of those words that are rapidly losing their meaning.
Traditionally it was when someone did something but was unaware it was cringy, which lead to funny reveals when eventually people realized that this cringy person was acting the entire time!

but especially vrakks
