Cringey self-advertisements

Most of us have advertised ourselves in cringey ways at one point or another.

It could be a reaction to external pressure; a lack of experience; or because we are blinded by what we think is important tomorrow and forgot about what's important today.

The thing is, it's okay to be cringey: but when you always react defensively with more and more cringe, that's when people switch off and slowly stop engaging with you.
