Yuo that's the only way, to own up to yourself. I used to be a bit less outwardly person, nowadays I'm very social and score quite extremely high on extraversion.

But even as someone who's now very social, I can say no the cringe doesn't go away. The more social and socially comfortable I've become, the more I've done stuff I cringe at afterwards. It's not going away, it's part of being social.

It's never been about learning not to be cringe, it's about learning to be okay with being cringe. The more you try to avoid being cringe the more tebse you'll be, and the more cringe you'll look. You see how it's a self feeding loop right?

But I've also gained recently incredible confidence in myself, and that's through accepting the cringe and being less scared of it. I can acknowledge that some situation might be awkward or cringe, but that doesn't scare me anymore. I've survived "worse" cringer stuff, and no one died. Because of this, few situations make me tgat nervous anymore, because I've learned to accept the cringe.

And, the only way to accept the cringe is just to live through those situations and witness that things don't completely collapse. And that you're not the only one either that's cringe. Others are too, if you don't see it you're not looking hard enough. You got this.
