how do you cope with embarrassing memories?

It happened to every single human being on Earth, don't worry about it. Mistakes are bound to happen, we only think they were avoidable in hindsight; but without that mistake one would have never known what to change.

Create, newer better ones.

I'm in my sixties. Believe me when I say a time will come when you will be able to laugh about those things.

talking about it just makes it worse for me. try writing it down on paper, read it a few times, then burn it. sometimes just writing things down makes ya feel better. good luck my friend.

You don’t you remember them forever and don’t do that shit again

Get teased relentlessly by my moms when they talk about them.

You’ll worry less about what people think about you when you realize how seldom they do.

I just say "damn, that's embarrassing, what a dork" and move on.

Do something even more embarrassing than what is currently bothering you. You'll forget all about it and have something new to stress over.

nobody cares, people are too self absorbed to give a sh*t

Laugh about it & move on to the next thought

I keep making new embarrassing ones, it is impossible to stop this cycle. Maybe we should just stop caring.

Same way I deal with all memories that are not great. .I accept there is nothing I can do to change it now so just do my best to not let it affect me today and not put myself in the same position again.

Happy_Secret_1299 · 2024-01-13T16:47:24+00:00

I realize that I was young and stupid. And that I'm a man... And that the past is behind me and I can't do anything to change it.

Then if I still am not over it. I go workout or I get stoned and play a video game.

What I do is realize that most people won't remember and since it is only your memory there is no proof it happened since only you most likely remember it.
