Re: What phrase or saying do you find really cringy?

I can't stand it when people describe themselves by Meyer-Briggs type because 1) most people don't know what those letters mean without looking it up(including me) and 2) I get the impression that this is either supposed to be an excuse/explanation for their behavior (I didn't need one, and providing one makes them look self-conscious and awkward) or some kind of instruction manual on how to interact with them (it doesn't help me, sorry).

Oh on your last point, I've come to hate the word "introvert" because of how obnoxious people are on social media. "Tips to care of your introvert friend!", "How to interact with introverts!", or whatever other special snowflake everyone-take-care-of-me feel-good crap self-identified introverts post.

I am an introvert, and I've started rolling my eyes at all of that.

All being an introvert means is that I spend energy on social interaction, and gain energy from being alone. It doesn't mean that I'm somehow smarter or deeper than my friend who gets energy from hanging out with other people.

It's too bad that it's gotten taken up by the Tumblr crowd, because the underlying concept -- knowing how socializing will effect your energy levels -- is a very useful thing.

On a similar note, I am so pissed off by people who are using "triggered" when they're squicked or made uncomfortable or as an all-purpose word to shut people up. (Whether it's by claiming to be triggered by something trivial, or accusing people of being "triggered" when they object to something.
