Dealing with Embarrassment: How to Cope

Hi Jenny, I definitely do too, but have tried to work on it in the last few years. What I've learned is people are thinking of themselves 1000x more than they are thinking about you. So if you're worried you said or did the wrong thing, there is a very strong chance the other person is not thinking about it in the way you are

right , i feel like everyone is watching what i’m doing all the time. it affects me often

I feel like I’m embarrassed nearly 100% of the time even when nothing is happening

Yes, I think mine comes from being badly bullied growing up, a very critical mother who had her own issues, then some workplaces with either a manager who yelled at me or was sabotaging me.

yes making mistakes is normal you’re right, thank you for the advice !

Yes 💔 I feel like I put a lot of effort into avoiding being embarrassed. I remember being really troubled by embarrassing memories when I was a kid, but I have memory issues now so if I do something embarrassing I usually just forget about it. Practicing self-love and reminding yourself that it's impossible to be perfect and that everyone makes mistakes sometimes helps me with those types of feelings.
