Both. You should feel uncomfortable while watching/reading.

Watamote is a special case. For about 50 chapters she, her brother, and her former best friend are like the only named characters in the entire series. Then all of a sudden there's a field trip arc and she gets like 6 new friends and it keeps increasing. In the latest chapters there's more characters in the series than there are in some Shounen and the chapters don't even focus entirely on her anymore.
The anime only covers like 30 chapters

the joke is that she is screwing herself over and blames it on everyone else
that said she has social anxiety and needs help, so

does this get good or stay atrocious?

And in an infinite regress, tell me, why is the pain of birth lighter borne than the pain of death?

The anime stays the cringe solo comedy since it only covers the first 30 chapters of the manga and new characters don't start coming in until chapter 50 (the field trip arc that basically changed the entire tone of the series is chapter 70s). And to be completely honest I really prefer the new chapters with the massive increase in characters.

It's both a comedy and a tragedy.

But it's really, really good.

Yep, she even gets someone with a crush on her

And since from her interactions with Yuu it's pretty obvious she's attracted to women too this is a good thing

Yep, some of the chapters even focus on the two characters that like her brother which (sometimes) have nothing to do with her.

A little bit. So don't go in expecting her to turn into a social butterfly/party girl. She does have a few friends now and doesn't get that dear caught in the head lights if someone says hi/good by to her like she used to.

thats fine. was a little hesitant watching after hearing that her situation never improves. i can watch it now knowing things will get better for her, even if its not adapted into anime yet...

Why should you feel uncomfortable? I don't think that was the intention...

Also, it's not that cringey, either.

Honestly, I found a lot of Tomoko's social awkwardness pretty relateable. Almost too real for me at times. ;_;

I don't recall her actually blaming anything on anyone.

To be honest, hearing that makes me kinda lose interest...

is the best character introduced in the school trip and, surprisingly, the way 's crush is handled fits extremely well with the story.

But what I liked about Watamote is that it seemed kinda realistic. I like how the anime didn't even have a happy conclusion, and things didn't get better. It just ended. Like the old saying goes, happy endings are stories that haven't finished yet.

Also, maybe use the character's actual name instead of randomly using an emoji for no reason, because I just see squares.

the progression and character development is actually super natural. id go as far as saying that i have never seen another manga handle its character development as well as watamote does.

but =) literally uses that to sign her name and even tomoko sees her as an emoji.
