Where are you hanging out that "everyone" does that?

Cringe has always meant something that gives the commenter secondhand embarrassment, nothing more, nothing else.

Sometimes people say that about genuine and heartfelt things, but IME it's usually the opposite. People obviously faking being cool or rich or smart, or someone speaking super confidently while completely factually wrong and everyone else knows it, are some of the things I see called cringe the most.

If they're only saying that it gave the commenter secondhand embarrassment then a thing could never be cringe. I rarely hear anyone say "this made me cringe" or "this gave me the cringes." I hear "This is cringey" a lot which makes the cringe a property held by the object, not an emotion felt by the commenter.

...why can't a thing give someone secondhand embarrassment?

I think Kash Patel's childrens' books are considered universally cringe. Why can't they be?

Things can give someone second hand embarrassment. The thing is not inherently embarrassing. And thus the person who made it is not embarrassing. By attaching cringe to the thing, the onus of the embarrassment is being shifted from the person feeling it to the creator of the thing. Otherwise why would OP be afraid of being cringe? If they create what they want, why would that be embarrassing? Why care about making something "cringe" unless the people who find it so are shifting that emotion onto the maker?
