Just laugh it off. I do embarrassing things all the time and when you laugh about it it gets forgotten sooner. Try to not take it so seriously. We all have done something similar. Believe me, it will fade away.

WM, this is nothing, they have forgotten it by now. This is one of lifes silly moments to laugh at!

A very nice person once gave me a Q-tip when I was ruminating about a situation much like yours. I asked what am I to do with this? The person said:

Q quit
T taking
I it
P personally

So there you go. I will never for get it and it helped me tremendously to move on from ruminating over lifes silly moments. I do hope it helps you.

Peace

Hi WaningMoon,

Sorry you were feeling uncomfortable, I hope that you've started not to worry about it too much now.

I do understand where you are coming from in terms of thinking about something, afterwards, or feeling uncomfortable. I used to feel like that quite a bit I think, I don't feel embaressed about things that happen so much anymone, I'm not sure why, maybe I am desensitized to it or I care less.

I hope today is going well for you.

I'm guessing you are thinking about it WAY more than anyone else is. And, yes, we all do silly stuff sometimes. I think the best thing you can do when something like that happens is just laugh at yourself and the situation, even if it's a sorta fake laugh at the time. It'll help you to not feel as worried or embarrassed about it. And it's just less awkward. Easier to make a joke about it and let it blow over than to shame yourself and feel bad for the rest of the day.

Never thought I'd learn to do that. But I do. For me it's almost become like a nervous reaction or something. I get a split second feeling of embarrassment and instantly throw myself into making a joke of it.

Go for it.

Cut yourself some slack! We all make mistakes like that every day!

It's common, just shake it off. It's not the best feeling for any of us! I always laugh everything off. Nothing wrong with laughing at ourselves.

gg, it's not your fault the person didn't realize who was pretty,
if they had been alert to the situation it would have been for you
and your friend as well.

Can you imagine how embarrassed the person who said that is
that they were not able to articulate well enough to make a person realize who they were talking to!

Besides, you know darn well your Pretty!!! Peace

Oh my, I "embarrass" myself all the time!!

I just laugh it off, used to want to drop in to a hole but now, no, maybe because I'm older :) I don't care!

I laugh then just keep on talking, take care..
