The internet is full of cringey pics and fail videos. These are two pillars of the meme community that are ever-fruitful genres of the digital content age. But between cringe and fail, there’s a valley that holds a much more visceral, awful meme category – pain.

Sometimes, you come across something that is just painful to see. It might not always make you laugh or shiver with embarrassment, but it will have you making an involuntary, awful jolt or noise due to the sheer terror of what’s happened, or what’s about to. We’ve got a bunch of those for you. Shout out to the Twitter account @manmik2, who runs the "Images That Make You Feel Pain" page. They’re bravely testing their limits every day gathering these screenshots.

This is a collection of truly awful text interactions, accidents about to happen, and just some genuinely, teeth-clenchingly painful pics.
