Embarrassment.


Question Posted Monday June 25 2007, 4:16 pm

Is there any good way to deal with feelings of embarassment? When something embarassing happens to me, everytime I think about it even weeks after it happens it just kills me. I feel terrible about myself.

the only thing you can do is laugh about it, maybe keep a journal or notebook somewhere and when you see something embarassing happen to someone else like in school or something like that write it down and when you start thinking about being embarassed read them and i'm sure you will feel better just keep telling yourself everyone gets embarassed and just shake it off everyone will forget about it when something else happens to someone else

First, do not feel terrible about yourself. It's common to get embarassed. I do the same thing too. It's like an obsessive thing with me since I always think about how I could have changed what I did/said. Like someone said try thinking about what happened from another person's point of view. I usually realize after I get so embarassed that my cheeks turn crimson, that no one really cares honestly. There might be a view jokes here and there, but eventually it stops. Try thinking of it that way, that it doesn't really pay to be embarassed since it will probably go unnoticed.


I hope this helps, and good luck.

Accept it. Embarassment is always going to happen to you. But if you learn to accept the fact that it happens to everybody & that it's always going to happen no matter what, you'll see it in a new way. When I get embarassed, I usually just laugh it off like a joke of some sort. That way it doesn't bother me too much & I can move on with life.


Also, it helps to be comfortable with yourself. If you're comfortable with who you are then embarassing things shouldn't be made into such a huge deal. Learn to laugh at yourself & things won't seem so bad.

LOL, I used to be that way too!
Like if I said something stupid, I'd still think about it a week after.

Anyways, what I do is look at it from another person's point of view. For example, when someone else does something embarrasing, you forget about a couple seconds after, right? Same thing with other people and your embarrasing moment! They'll forget about it as soon as you change the subject.

Dont worry about it, babe!

You just have to learn to laugh at yourself!
If you really think about it, it's never as big of a deal as it seems.
It's in the past, you can't change it, move on and learn from it!

ha ha... EVERYBODY does something embarrassing once in a while. Instead of looking at it in a bad way, think about it as a joke. LAUGH about it. Even if you are embarressed on the inside, don't let it get to you on the outside. Just laugh it off.

Nobody is perfect... we all make mistakes and embaress ourselves. The best way is to laugh about it.
