AWKWARD ZOMBIE

I vaguely remember a thread similar to this, but I can't find it! So, here goes...something.

Anyway, we all have those moments in our day to day life where we think of something stupid we've done in the past (or very recently, which is still technically the past, but it's the more recent past), and you get that moment of feeling that makes you wish you didn't exist. So this thread is to share those memories so that we can all cringe and laugh at each other's (in good fun obviously) miseries. I've got lots of them! But I'll start with just one for now.

In middle school, there was a talent show coming up and I had just bought a guitar about 3 weeks prior, so I figured I would sign up for it. After spending a few hours on youtube trying to pick out a song, I decided to play "Heart Shaped Box" by Nirvana. I also tend to procrastinate a lot, so I ended up not really practicing that much. So, there I was, one day before the show and I still only just barely knew the intro to the song and kept hitting the wrong strings. Well, I have too much pride to just back out of things, so I went with it and decided "It'll come to me when I play it in front of people" and went on stage the next day. Well, it didn't come to me and I ended up sucking really badly. My guitar was out of tune, my hands were shaking, and I didn't even really know how to play the song. So I got up there, kinda played the intro, went through the chorus like once, messed up and wanted to leave but the music teacher insisted I finished, so I just kinda sat there for a bit and played the intro again and left. I think the worst was that everyone was basically obligated to clap at the end of each performance, so I got applauded for sucking and that was embarrassing.

My only saving grace is that no one seems to remember it now and even my close friends don't ever say anything about it unless I bring it up. Also, I can actually play guitar at an okay level now so there's that.

All of my early AZ posts.

Don't look them up.

All of my not-gaming behaviors up until age Ten and Mom still remembers them aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhh

All of these replies going to start with "all of"?
Because for a lot of people they very well could reply "all of" something.

All of my cringy memories are things I don't want to give specifics on, so I am afraid I won't be able to contribute much more than that. I almost imploded via cringe just reading the title.

I'll just say that a huge portion in general involve not understanding words or phrases and using them improperly until someone pulled me aside to give a "that isn't what that means and you shouldn't say it again" lecture.

I don't use Mom's vocabulary anymore.

What she said.

back around '89 or '90, I did a few things I'm embarrassed about.

Such as:

Swallowing a penny
Flushing a pair of underwear down the toilet
Going outside naked
Cutting a lamp cord while it was on
Plugged in a clock with my finger between the prongs... Deliberately

My old Youtube videos.
Which are still there.
They may be bad but if I delete them they're gone forever.



When I was little I was substituting the first letter of Cookie with every other letter.
Then I got to nookie and was told off.

a certain song by Limp Bizkit comes to mind.

Also reminds me of how I used to get confused regarding some lines from Fievel Goes West, when the spider was singing his version of Itsy Bitsy Spider. He says "inky dinky", and I couldn't remember it that well, so I thought he was saying "dicky dicky".

Which now conjures some absurd mental images.

I wanted to make a TF2 adventure thread using images but no one responded a few hours later and I just let it hang there for shame before deleting it.

i regret nothing

what a coincidence i regret everything

oh yeah the bodily fluids threads though or whatever they were called those were cringe as fuck. pretty much made me stop visiting for quite a bit

The way I behaved around this girl I liked in high school. Basically, I acted like those creepy fucking fedorah neckbeards, but in real life. My only excuse is that I was subject to a toxic mix of teenage hormones and autism.

Some of the cringiest things that present day Airra experiences is being presented with the fact that the things I've been telling people turn out to be completely false.
I try so hard to be factual about things that it makes me feel like I'm going to spontaneously implode into a black hole from the amount of embarrassment with which I become suddenly overwhelmed.

I can't remember what it was right now, but I know I said something wrong yesterday that's gonna get me all cringed up three years from now.
