30+ People Who Didn’t Quite Get The Response They Were Looking For, But OK, Here We Are

Ever told someone you loved them, and they didn’t say it back? Awkward right?

That’s what we call “sad cringe.”

Basically, an awkward or utterly embarrassing situation where you kinda want to laugh, but it’s just so relatable sad that you quietly cringe to yourself and thank the stars this didn’t happen to you.

Turns out here’s a whole online community where people share the best (meaning worst, I guess?) examples of “sad cringe” and because it’s our mission here at MemeSpace to find the best of what people are sharing and laughing at on the web, we’ve taken the time to put together this list of text message and other responses people clearly didn’t expect but hey, it be like that sometimes.
