Texting has become the main form of communication these days. Most people prefer using a messaging app to a phone call.

There’s the ease of just being able to drop your thoughts as you have them, and know the recipient will get back to you whenever they’re available. It’s a sort of instant gratification, as you don’t have to call to find out whether or not they are free to talk and risk losing the thoughts you wanted to share.

Not to mention those with phone anxiety, making phone calls can be a really big deal for some people, sometimes to the point that it’ll just never happen. Bless the internet gods for online scheduling and chat features.

Unfortunately, with texting, we lose a lot of communication we get from face-to-face conversations or even just phone calls. We aren’t able to see the other person's body language or hear the tone of their voice.

That can leave a lot of room for interpretation, and if we’re feeling any particular way that can influence how we receive a message. Texting can get complicated, y’all.

We’ve seen countless lists of hysterical texting fails where autocorrect tried to be helpful but missed the mark. But we haven’t seen much in the way of just straight-up embarrassing texts because they are inherently embarrassing.

From people oversharing, to awkwardly shooting their shot (and completely missing the mark) or general misunderstandings. It goes from funny to cringe real quick, and we found 40 of the most cringe-worthy embarrassing texts that get to live on forever thanks to the internet.
