    I mean while the phrasing is cringe I can understand it. I can not watch anything like Parcs and Rec or the Office because that kind of cringe humour where the characters emberass themselves physically hurts.

      I’m like that with violent scenes, even though I know it’s fake and no one is getting hurt, I still get highly distressed. I wasn’t always like that, it got to that point more in my late 20s I think. I can play fighting games and such like just fine, although the bit in Witcher 3 when one of the women gets her face slammed on a table made me upset.

      Parks and rec and the American office don’t bother me but the original office makes me mortified with second hand embarrassment! But then that’s the point.

      OMG, for the longest time I thought I was the only one this happened to.

      Like, I don’t even want to go to the cinema anymore because there might be embarrassing scenes in the movie.

      That’s me with Psych. The show is beyond uncomfortable humor.

      But that’s what makes it so good
