its been almost completely altered for this reason but still i cant stop seeing myself as some silly anime mary sue fan fiction writer (which is fine tbh but am 25 )

do not kill the part of you that is cringe, kill the part of you that cringes or something like that ?

Part of me has embraced the cringiness, I feel no matter what you'll always feel a bit cringey because sharing something you made always makes you feel a bit vulnerable, but the more I shared and the more people let me know that they like what I do the more free I felt lol

Also writing in english which is not my native language helps a bit because at points I feel like I'm not even the one writing it >:-3!

I DO cringe tbh. I think its just that you have to keep doing it! Or share with friends who like your work!! If it werent for my friends, i wouldnt have the encouragement to share most of my oc stuff recently lol

However, BE AS CRINGE AND MARRY-SUE ISH AS YOU WANT!! YOURE MAKING SHIT FOR YOURSELF! FUCK EVERYONE ELSE!! Its not like ur making things to pitch a show to network executives!! Give yourself permission to be as crazy, dumb, disgusting, and indulgent as you want! Creation should be a thing of joy!! Not something that makes you afraid of messing up in!!

you have to embrace it... being cringe is a part of us and that's ok

you cringe rly hard and then you resolve that everything deserves to exist, even your own cringe
