It’s not just you. Second hand embarrassment is just as bad as first hand embarrassment for me.

It’s a wildly unpopular take, but it’s the reason I can’t watch most of Steve Carell’s stuff, including the office.

Agreed. I like a few Office episodes, but I never really got into it. I'm also not a fan of self-deprecating humor, despite making a lot of self-deprecating jokes myself.

We exist, but I think we're in the minority.

I think I just found my tribe.

I watched all of The Office, but I had to keep actively reminding myself that those situations aren't real and that they're paid actors who are expecting everything that's happening, in order not to wince my face inside out.

That's what makes it so great!
