That doesn't sound like the right word for that at all. Cringes makes me think of horror stories.
Huhhh? Cringe definitely means that!

I figured after awhile, but the word itself does not make me think embarrassment. I've always used cringe when I don't want to see something as in fear.
For example.."I cringe every time I think of the valves, veins, and arteries of the cardio system."
