Poll question: Do you embarrass easily?
I just said something really stupid to somebody, and now I'm horrified. Every time I get in a new situation, or if I meet new people, I always say or do something dumb! Now I feel as if I can never talk to this person again.
Do you embarrass easily?

1. no
I do or say something stupid every day of my life, usually in front of a large group of people. I got over being embarrassed a long time ago.

14. Ditto
I learned to develop a rhino hide years ago about most "embarrassing" stuff, much of which originates with me anyway! If it helps, remember that many of life's embarrassing moments make great stories later.

2. Don't worry about it, Java Queen
I've been trying to find pics where they look alike, for what it's worth...
Not getting too far, but if I do, I will post them.

3. After a while

5. No. I dwell on them for years, the other person forgets in minutes.
What does that tell you?

6. LOL! I do that too!
I'm still ashamed over things I said when I was 4.

9. They forget, so what's the point in holding on to the shame or guilt?
When you're the only person who cares about something, it can safely be dropped, y'know?

13. It's nothing to worry about.
We're all pretty thick-skinned around here, for the most part. It was an honest mistake. Enjoy yourself!
