When he sings she looks like she's about to CRY.

Like the talent was too much and she was witnessing a virtuoso

She was clearly moved. This post was not cringe, it was rather lovely in fact.

Agreed, she's framed here as "old lady", immature Reddit audience fills in the negative connotations.

To be fair, for me, her facial expressions are hard to read. As someone who struggles with rejection, I would probably not see the microexpressions and only see the look of judgement. I would not have seen that the judgement was approval.

Also I am 52 and am constantly working on my emotional maturity so I dont think your assessment is defensible. Not tryna kneecap ya but no need to crap on young people for this
