30+ Text Messages That Are Too Cringy To Read But Are Still Somehow So Entertaining

They range from plain uncomfortable to straight-up creepy.

Now that almost everything in the world has shifted online, especially communication, reaching out to our families, friends, acquaintances, and even to people we don't know personally has become much easier and more convenient, especially during the pandemic. Through different messaging platforms, we can catch up with our friends, see each other on video even if we are miles apart, or engage in controversial discourse with some strangers online.

However, this can have some disadvantages, particularly regarding how we come across to others online. Because let's face it, there are plenty of times when our text messages aren't understood well due to the lack of tone that normal conversations usually have, or we receive messages that are simply questionable and sometimes creepy.

Well, we've been there not only once or twice, but several times already. There are moments when we think that the person we are texting is being mean because they haven't sent any emojis with their messages, or if they misinterpret our short responses or if we send "K" instead of "Okay."

But it doesn't stop there, because there are also some texts that are just so cringe-worthy, and it's not just because of the lack of emojis—or the excessive use of them. Just take a look at some of the examples that people shared online because they were simply too cringy not to share!
