I’ve spoken before about embarrassment, but it was only recently that I understood how to explain it better.
No one cares about what you are embarrassed about.
That is to say that whilst you worry about something, the other people involved aren’t.
I’ve probably said this before, but this post is for myself.
The people involved won’t care about your “embarrassing moment”. The reason you don’t remember other people’s embarrassing moments is that they don’t remember yours. The answer is that it simply doesn’t matter.
However, let’s talk about something else, as I’ve said all this on the blog before.
Overcoming embarrassment is easy, the first and only step is to laugh about it with others.
If you can laugh about anything, it won’t be hard on you.
If you can talk and laugh with your friends then you’ll start to care less and less about what is actually embarrassing.
The things you were worried about will become second nature to the point where you don’t even recognise them.
It’s almost like when a girl is flirting with you, you won’t recognise until years later that she actually liked you.
The same is for embarrassment, you won’t realise until years later that it was somewhat embarrassing, but at that point so many years have passed you don’t care.
Getting over embarrassment is complex and not easy, as I said, this post is for myself who ends up regretting every action daily.
I can only try to keep writing in hopes I understand my own words, even if I never believe them. This blog is a place where I’ve learnt a lot about myself, and I plan to keep it up, even if I keep repeating myself.
