Cringe affects our way to express ourselves

I wanted to share this because I think it's not spoken about enough.

As someone who writes poems, I usually catch myself pressed by other people's opinion. I don't share my poetry with anyone (maybe one friend but that's all. I keep them poems very privates, but I'd like to share them online) but anyway when I write something too deep I feel like it's cringe, even when they are just my feelings.

The cringe/edgy jokes have turned into a way to make people ashamed to feel, to analyze their emotions and to put them in words.

It's sad, because I saw a few users saying they hate their own creations, or that they feel disgusted of themselves for being emotionals or saying something that could be categorized as edgy.

"Nobody understands me..." sounds easily as a joke, something to laugh about: we're forgetting that's true to a lot of individuals.

As I said, this is something that also affects me and honestly makes the writing harder.

We have the word cringe so attached to us that we don't remember its meaning.

Why are we afraid/ashamed of natural emotions? Do we want ourselves to be a white paper who doesn't think?

This is repressing me and  I'm sure I'm not the only one who notices it.

That's all ty for reading.
