How to Deal with an Embarrassing Situation

All of us must have experienced embarrassment at least once in our lives. It is not a big deal for most of us, but some extra sensitive people cannot get rid of the guilt and shame of the incident. This is for those brothers and sisters. The first hints are for during the embarrassment, and later are the post-embarrassment phase.

A boy feeling embarrassed


1. If you are in the middle of the action when you get embarrassed, leave that there. If you got jumbled telling a joke, stop there. Don’t try to complete it.


2. Drink a glass of water. This will calm you down, and you will be in a better situation to deal with the post-embarrassment phase. Similarly, take deep breaths. It will relax you.


3. Get away from the place of the incident. If the situation drifts away beyond control then leave that place. The world has not ended; you may repair your reputations.


4. Post-embarrassment: Don’t blame yourself. Our minds are our biggest critics. Remember: The past doesn’t exist anywhere except in our minds. You forget the incident, and the guilt ends there for good. 


5. Some people want to tease you. A simple remedy is to laugh with them. When they remind you of that incident, just say ‘I am such a clumsy person, etc. They will realize that you don’t feel embarrassed anymore, and they will lose their cause of teasing you. If you don't feel comfortable doing that, hang around with someone who will stick up for you. Then all you have to do is smile and nod.


Tips

* The most important fact about dealing with any embarrassing situation is: take it easy.

* Our brain is a living machine. The most interesting thing about machines is that you can make them work a certain way. Don't give importance to the incident, and you will forget it in a few days.

* The past doesn’t exist anywhere except in our minds; you forget the incident, and the guilt ends there for good.

* If it's something you can fix, fix it! Maybe you tripped up on your skateboard while you were showing off to your friends, and now they laugh at you. So what? Just practice your skills and show them that you're not to be laughed at! Embarrassment isn't something that you should lose a friend over, so don't fight the person who laughs at you.

* Most people would be supportive and would not remind you of your embarrassment.
