The definition of “being cringe online” is ever-evolving, but most of us, it seems, can agree on one thing: Posting photos of yourself crying is one of the worst offenses. You’ve seen them before: casually lit and seemingly taken on a whim, with tear-stained, rosy cheeks and bloodshot eyes as the main feature. They’re sometimes taken in a bathroom, like Dove Cameron’s from 2022 , or in a car, like Emma Chamberlain ’s multiple teary-eyed posts . The crier in question usually has effortlessly tousled hair and a hint of black makeup flaking along their bottom row of eyelashes. The evidence of their emotional turmoil can be either posted solo or hidden among an artfully curated photo dump. If you’re Bella Hadid , though, a collection of them can be worthy of its own post .
