Who /constantly remembering cringey past events/ here?
Shit's fucking irritating, my brain randomly reminds me of cringey memories literally all the time, and every time it makes me physically jolt in reaction to the sheer cringeyness
Anyone got any good ways of suppressing this shit? I tried just not reacting to them when they pop into my head but most of the time I can't help it
Same here OP,
Same here.
BuMPinG for interest and to be not muted.

Stop dwelling in the past. Nothing you can do about it. Why be retarded and relive it? Just don't think about it or think to yourself it's not a big deal. The cringy shit you did was forgotten by everyone but you.

I hate it, it happens all the time.
I call it "unwanted thoughts syndrome"
No idea what to do about it, the jolts/ reactions are getting harder to hide.

Not only that, but I remember the other kid's cringeworthy shit too so they probably remember mine.

It's not like a drudging old memories, it's like embarrassing shit or bad memories just pop in randomly and you're momentarily reliving it again.

I wish I could, it's not like I make concious decisions to dwell on my past mistakes, my brain just automatically makes it happen
If I had control over it I obviously wouldn't voluntarily be making myself cringe all the time
Same op. My train of thought is just a running highlight reel of all my most cringey and shameful moments. Doesn't matter how long ago. Like shit I did in grade school over 15 years ago.
Sometimes I'll mutter "fuck you fuck you fuck you" or "please kill me now" out loud just as a visceral reaction to how it feels when the memories constantly come flooding back.

Mines not quite that bad, if anything it makes it more frustrating being aware that I don't care about or even ever really remember other peoples cringe, because it just reminds me that no one other than me gives a fuck about my cringe either

CBT is such bullshit. "Just keep lying to yourself until you believe it anon!"
I have no idea how anyone with any self awareness can fall for this shit.

Yeah I always automatically say "FUCK" or something like that when it happens to me, it really does get pretty physically painful
always, op. Sometimes it's bad enough to be a daily occurence and it feels like shit. My mind is too spastic to avoid them

It's because you have shitty thinking habits. The mind is a muscle that needs training and yours is weak as fuck.

I find it kind of terrifying how little control we have over our brains, it really seems like my brain hates me and there's nothing I can do about it

How does one go around doing that? I've tried positive thinking but it always just seems like I have no control over the deepest parts of my concious

That's what you get for trying to interact with filthy normies

Me too pham.
It's the one thing that makes me strive to avoid cringe. I get better every day thanks to the rumination of my autism.
