Why do humans cringe? Does the same response occur in other animals?

What is the reason for such a crippling reaction to uncomfortable social interactions?

EDIT: Thank for the replies so far, I am more wondering from an animal behaviour perspective. Starting to get the sense it is a form of social preservation because you can dissociate yourself from the bad thing.

You react negatively to anything “out of place” or something that can impact your social/hierarchical standing. Such discomfort gives you a signal to not do something that can make you an outcast.
