I used to browse r/cringe without thinking like that. People on that subreddit make fun of people who obviously have some sort of disorder (telling to kill themselves and stuff). I knew it was bad, but I never put my self in the person we were making fun of.

IIRC, /r/cringe started out with people posting cringe-worthy stuff of themselves, rather than others. Once it switched to shaming/pointing out other people, that's when it really went downhill.
