Learn to laugh at yourself and you will be much happier.
Steps
Step 1. Don't think about it and laugh at it
The first thing you should do if you find yourself embarrassed in front of other people is to say it was a joke. State that this has never happened to you and that you are embarrassed about it. Laugh out loud and say: "How strange!" In this way people will understand that you do not take it seriously and will stop behaving in a certain way, because you will not have the reaction they expect, which is suffering. Instead you have to handle it by "acting" as if you don't suffer. But of course it all depends on what is embarrassing you.
Step 2. Think carefully about your problem
When you return to your "comfort zone", for example in your room, take a few moments to think about how the accident happened. Are you a little distracted? Consider how to fix the problem.
Step 3. Improve your awareness
Try to be more careful about what's going on around you if you tend to be a distracted person. Just remember not to be always worried about it, people who laugh at you will probably, sooner or later, experience a similar circumstance, so laugh with them and don't give too much weight to the event, or you will remember it for much longer. Stay calm and make sure it doesn't interfere with the rest of the day.
Advice
- Do not forget that it is not the end of the world, whatever caused the embarrassment has happened and gone, the best attitude is to try to improve the sense of awareness so as not to fall back into the same situation.
- Don't think too much about accidents and embarrassment. The other person has probably forgotten it, so there is no need for you to focus on what happened.
- Everyone has had to deal with embarrassment and you too will be able to manage it as long as you trust yourself and understand how to deal with it.
- In 99% of cases, things are not as bad as you think. For example, your little brother told your girlfriend that you still sleep with the stuffed animal. Maybe she does too, so there is no reason to worry.
- Don't feel uncomfortable with platitudes. Things that seem so important now ("My God that girl is wearing the same top as me!") Will have fallen by the wayside when you get older.
- Don't scream for no reason or people will think you're crazy and may feel embarrassed.
Warnings
- If you say some really trivial things you may be embarrassed. It could also happen when you make your own choices.
- Don't keep ignoring people when they stop teasing you, or you will feel uncomfortable about ignoring someone for no reason.
- Embarrassment can make you blush! This could ruin your "concealment" attempts. Take a deep breath and try to calm down, you can search online for some wikiHow articles to avoid blushing.
