Why are cringe/akward situations so hard to watch?

What is the scientific reasoning behind it?

I can see why we are repelled by disgusting images, because in real life a pile of mangled dead corpse could be full of disease, but this?

The emotion of "cringe" comes from the ability of a human being to imagine himself in the position of others.
Your inability to empathize like that is a part of the mental illness called autism.

google "mirror neurons"

there was some study on monkeys showing that the associated area of the brain sees activity just from watching an action

for example the areas that would see activity when the monkey eats, also saw activity when the monkey watches someone eat

this implies in a way that we "experience" everything that we see. you imagine yourself being an autistic cunt and trying to attract a human woman through a mating dance

What that guy did was really nice. Why are you guys hating so much? He's 13 and they're both in the same dance classes. All 13 year olds do weird junk like this.
