My hot take is cringing is good actually. You should move on from the dumb shit you did in the past and recognising that is dumb is very different from not being ashamed of it.
a lot of the stuff people cringe about is fine and does not need changing. beating yourself up a little to grow past your flaws and mistakes might be good, but they gotta be actual flaws and mistakes
