embarassing

Flirting is an art form that some are more skilled at than others. Trying to win over the affection of someone you're attracted to isn't always easy, especially when your crush is playing hard to get. The fine line between showing your interest and coming across as desperate can be tough to master, but once you get it, it's smooth sailing. Unfortunately, some people never find that balance and step over the line into the 'desperate' category. These people are perfect examples of what happens when you let your desperation and entitlement get the better of you and push away the person you are trying to attract. Enjoy cringing through these sad attempts at flirting and learn from their mistakes on how not to flirt, 101.

Snooping through your kid's stuff is never a good idea because you will always find something you didn't want to see. And you can't unsee something. Plus, it's not a great way to build trust. Parents on a Reddit thread shared some of the weird things they found in their kid's rooms but never told their kids they found. From the cute love letters to the awkward sex toys, it's all here. Have you ever been in a similar situation?

The walk of shame is universally known as the strut that happens the morning after sex. However, the people of Twitter have been redefining the phrase as of late. It's not just about sex anymore. Apparently, it's about every mortifying moment ever. We can use "walk of shame" to describe everything now! Doesn't have to do with the morning after? No problem - you still have a right to use it! What a time to be alive. Scroll down for the best tweets we read about the walk of shame this week, and let us know which shameful moment you relate to most in the comments.

Breaking news: the walk of shame is officially nothing to be ashamed about. We would say you heard it here first, but you probably heard it on Twitter first. People openly tweet about their personal walks of shame on a weekly basis, many of which have nothing to do with the morning after sex. When people publicly broadcast their most shameful moments, it doesn't really seem like they're especially ashamed of it. Hence, the walk of shame has transitioned to the walk of fame. Does your walk of fame moment compare to the ones below? Let us know in the comments. 

The infamous walk of shame has become a staple in American pop culture. These days, some people on Twitter have been calling it "the stride of pride," claiming that getting D last night is nothing to be ashamed about. But the walk of shame often has nothing to do with sex. They could just be related to the many shameful moments in people's lives. We documented this week's most clever tweets about the walk of shame, including sex-related tweets, and tweets that have literally nothing to do with sex. 

We've all had those nights when we should have just stayed on the couch. Nights when that last drink - or drinks - were completely unnecessary and ultimately changed the course of your entire existence...OK, maybe that's a bit dramatic, but this, friends, is one of those nights. Today's Sexcapade story is one where a woman learns the hard way that sometimes the vagina does not know best especially when it is fed tequila. Well, not literally. Read this story of drunken sexual debauchery that turned into a really shitty situation - but like, literally. 

Being an adult woman definitely has its perks, but there are also many cringe moments involved. Nobody's a fan of going to the gyno, alas it's one of the many requirements of being a woman. The women of Twitter despise going to the gyno, but their tweets about their experiences are hilarious. Scroll down for this week's gyno tweets. 

We're always told to put ourselves out there and shoot our shot in many aspects of life, especially when it comes to finding love. Because you'll never know until you try... right? Confessing your feelings to a person you're into unfortunately doesn't always go as planned. The people of Reddit have spoken about their worst rejection experiences on a thread, and boy, these are tough to swallow. Whether these stories date all the way back to the middle school days or take place in the spectacularly awkward now, they're all pretty cringe. Regardless, I personally think you should still bellow your feelings from the rooftop because no regrets, that's why. 

Dating to find your special person is already difficult enough. Add awkwardness, mortification, and embarrassment into it? Suddenly, it's even worse than you thought it was going to be. A Redditor started a thread asking people about their most embarrassing dates, and the responses range from super cringe to super sweet. That's right, I said sweet - some of the people in this thread ended up marrying those that they shared awkward dates with. There's still hope for all the awkward people out there to find love! Scroll down for all the funnies and feels. 

Whether you call it the walk of shame or the stride of pride, this infamous strut after a wild night out has become a hilarious staple of hookup culture. However, performing this walk may not always have to do with the morning after sex. The people of Twitterhave taken over the term to describe anything they deem to be personally shameful, and the results are hilarious - leaving your room with all the cups that piled up over the last week, walking home in the dead of night with a pint of ice cream, and so much more. Scroll down for this week's best tweets about the walk of shame. 

Wild nights out at the club are generally fueled by alcohol, but you know what else it fuels? Super embarrassing drunk texts. The thing is, you'll only realize how embarrassing the texts are once you wake up painfully hungover and mortified the next day. It'll be too late to take it back once the light of day hits, and there's nothing you could do except wallow in your embarrassment. We dug up a Reddit thread from 8 years ago about the worst drunk texts people have sent, and damn, people in the last decade really went hard. Have you sent out worst drunk texts than the ones listed below? 

We're technically all strong, independent adult females, and therefore shouldn't dread the idea of going to our gyno. Our health is super important, and we shouldn't neglect it just because we feel uncomfortable. However, the reality is that many women get anxious before going to their gyno appointments, either because they're anticipating pain or just general awkwardness with exposing their bodies. Whether they're poking light fun at gyno appointments or seriously afraid of it, the women of Twitter get what we all inevitably have to go through at the gyno. Scroll down and laugh in solidarity with us. 

People don't always end on the most civil terms with their exes. Relationships are complicated, and they don't always end ideally. But what if things ended with the dude 8 whole years ago?! Would you still even be in touch with them? The people of Twitter reacted to the hilarious anecdote with many questions and concerns. Why didn't she ask for more money if she was already putting herself out there? Why was he still on her mind after eight years? How was she not embarrassed at all? And did they end up reconnecting afterwards even though the original poster claims they didn't? Scroll down for this week's Twitter tea. 

Everyone has their fair share of moments where they've made a total fool of themselves in public. It's only natural; we're all human, and we all make mistakes. Granted, some make more significant mistakes than others, but overall, we're somewhat in the same boat. Whether it's tripping over yourself after giving a presentation, spilling a drink all over your date, or offending someone by guessing their wrong age, whatever embarrassing thing you've done, someone has also done it before you. Either that or they've done something worse. So to make yourself feel better about your embarrassing moments, here are some from other people who wished the ground could swallow them up.

Life is full of awkward moments that make us wish the ground would swallow us up. We've all had them, and the reality is, we'll probably have more. But my philosophy is that you may as well laugh at your misfortunes, because how else do you recover from them? Writer Sarah Schauer has done just that. Her tweet about the time she mistakingly flashed her tattoo artist has inspired others to share their equally awkward stories of times they flashed various professionals. These accounts of people revealing a little too much flesh to their tattoo artists and doctors will make you cringe on their behalf and probably remind you of your own embarrassments, which will make you cringe some more. Or, one woman so eloquently worded it in her Tweet below, "I would have rather just passed away."

Hair is a sensitive topic for many women - whether it's a botched dye job, or a bad hair cut, having good hair can change a woman's face, boost her confidence and make her feel a whole lot better about herself. In order to give the illusion of having more of a full head of hair, some women wear hair extensions. But as good as they look on, it's always pretty awkward when they fall out in public. These women share their embarrassing mishaps when their hair extensions fell out in awkward situations and we do not envy them right now.
