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
