What was your biggest cringe moment?

About two years ago, in a college English class, there was this girl that had an extremely "nice" personality. Nice as in bubbly and emotionally positive. These type of girls are actually not at all the type of girl I am attracted to, and their niceness actually is not the kindness that I like in a person. But for some reason I just cannot function around these type of girls. I was sitting next to her and I started to notice her notice me. I'd be reading and could feel her looking at me. So eventually she ended up saying something to me. She asked how my poem was coming along. I started to talk to her, but the nerves kicked in and though I was talking, what was coming out of my mouth was not real words. I tried to recover, but my mind went blank and I just spouted out nonsense. Since I knew I was a train wreck in progress, I literally froze. I was slightly blacking out from embarrassing (which to my surprise is possible). I put my hand to my head like I was suffering a migraine and said to give me a sec. I sat there for like 10 seconds as my body recovered from a very traumatizing moment. And she was like, "Oh my god, did you just have a moment?" So in between me was this big dude going to school to be a fireman. And he was just looks at me this whole time and finally says, "That was fucking weird."
