It’s Not Just Your Family - A Collection of 31 Awkward Family Photos That Are Wonderfully Cringy

Everyone swears their family is the most awkward. Newsflash: they're wrong. Because every family is awkward, and they all have the photographic evidence to prove it. Matching sweaters, stiff smiles, that one cousin who clearly didn't get the memo about "dress nice." It's universal.

If you think about it (and I clearly have, too much), a family is basically just a random group of people who would never willingly hang out this much unless legally obligated. Which explains why family photos always look like hostage situations, but with more perms.

And here's the kicker: the bigger the family, the worse it gets. A mom-dad-kids portrait? Mildly awkward. Add in grandparents, cousins, and Uncle Steve who insists on holding his pet iguana? Boom. Awkward chaos unlocked. Truly an awkpocalypse.

So enjoy this gallery of glorious disasters. For once, the cringe isn't yours.
