hello sector goers we just want to take
the time to thank you for all your kind
support we are a team of dedicated
passionate and hardworking individuals
who come together every day with one
goal in mind we want to make psychology
come alive for you
we are self-funded and recently launched
our patreon if you enjoy the work we do
and find it meaningful please stick
around until the end of the video for
information on how to get more involved
with us and all the cool rewards you can
get from us we've all experienced
embarrassing moments whether that means
tripping down the stairs spilling coffee
on ourselves or smiling at our crush
with food stuck in between our teeth
there's a misconception that by the time
you hit a certain age and settle into
adulthood then you'll have it all
together but truthfully we'll all
continue to have embarrassing moments
for as long as we live if making
mistakes and being human is inevitable
then how can you cope with humiliating
moments here are six effective ways to
handle embarrassment 1 don't beat
yourself up it's okay embarrassment
often goes hand in hand with
perfectionism when you feel as though
you aren't meeting up to your own
standards it's easy to fall into the
trap of self-criticism as a results you
may feel your next performance won't go
as well based on past bad experiences
but don't beat yourself up over your
mistakes and failures instead allow
yourself to be imperfect and see your
embarrassing moments as learning
opportunities to get better it's ok to
mess up to focus on the non emotional
details of the moment according to
doctor Ekaterina denkova the next time
your mind decides to replay an
embarrassing moment try to steer your
attention to the non emotional details
such as the color of the shirt you were
wearing the setting or what the weather
was like this will help you detach from
the memory and you won't remember it as
intensely compared to when you focus on
the negativity which can stir up your
embarrassed feelings again when you
experience heightened emotions it makes
it harder for you to let go and move on
we recommend that you concentrate on
details that put you in a neutral state
3 laugh it off
according to dr. Susan wit born a former
professor of psychological and brain
sciences
the most effective way to handle
embarrassment is being able to confront
it directly although your first instinct
might be to run away and hide this will
only prolong your unresolved feelings of
embarrassment that's why it's important
to stick to the situation until you can
alleviate your stress wit Boren
recommends laughing it off in order to
reduce tension after all staying in a
serious mood will only influence you to
hold on to the negativity for see it as
a great storytelling opportunity have
you ever shared a story starting with
the statement hey remember that time
when I did X Y & Z that was so funny
more often than not it's your
embarrassing moments that make the best
stories you can share with your friends
and family while they're happening they
may not be fun but in retrospect it's
easier to see how silly they are the
best part is knowing you survived - so
the next time you want to die of
embarrassment think of your top 3
embarrassing moments and remember that
despite those occurrences you're still
here in one piece 5 talk it out with a
close friend lover or family member who
won't judge you for it it's difficult
bottling up your emotions so talk about
your embarrassing moment with someone
you trust instead of feeling bad about
the situation tell them what's bothering
you
it always helps to get support and
another perspective that may encourage
you to find some positivity in the
negative situation in fact the person
you confide in may also share a similar
embarrassing moment that happened to
them it's always a relief to know that
you're not alone 6 try again
you might dread going back to the same
place and seeing the same people who
were there when you embarrass yourself
but be brave and face them if you
continue to build walls in front of you
the situation will only haunt you longer
others will also detect the awkwardness
you are projecting when you avoid them
which will make it hard for them to
forget about it - it might not be easy
when you first step in again and go on
with your normal routine but progress
can't be made without starting over try
again you've got this do you have
embarrassing moments often how do you
handle them please share your thoughts
