##Welcome to r/sadcringe!

r/sadcringe is a place for awkward or embarrassing situations that also make you feel sad.

(Please note: the 'sad' part of r/sadcringe is in reference to when something makes you feel sad, it's not about calling someone out for being sad.)

[Example post. This image is good because it is sad, but also makes you cringe.] (https://i.imgur.com/uGnRtvo.jpg)

##Rules:

Posts must be sad and cringe. The content of the post must be both cringy and sad. Unhappy, depressing sad – not pathetic loser sad. We're not here to make fun of people. The content should make you go: "oof, that hurts", not: "lol, what a moron".
No personal info. This includes all usernames, names, and any other identifiable information. This also means no direct linking to other subreddits in your submissions.
No minors. Do not post content that includes anyone under the age of 18. This will result in a ban.
No bullying. We will not tolerate any type of bullying, harassment, verbal abuse or incitement of violence. Violations will result in a temporary or permanent ban. Be nice.
No brigading. Do not brigade or encourage brigading of this or other subreddits/websites.
Follow Reddiquette at all times. Failing to do so will result in a ban.
No memes or obvious jokes. We only accept real life situations. There are plenty of other subs for memes and jokes.
