How to bounce back after making a complete fool out of yourself?

Bounce back?

You don’t.

You go on and live your life like nothing happened, and be DAMN SURE it never happens again.

Everyone makes mistakes.

Make the same mistake twice and you are starting a trend.

And never DEER...

Do NOT;

Defend Explain Evade Rationalize

Your behavior.

If someone brings it up, smile big and

STFU.

they're treating you like a rehab patient for sobbing? I mean if people know that your grandmother passed away last week it would seem understandable. It definitely seems like you're leaving something out.

In any case, time + living well is the cure all to most fuck ups. I've fucked up tremendously before. 6-12 months later + a bunch of postings on social media about how good my life is (aka, trips abroad, posting before and after pics from gym progress, pics going out with friends showing that im having a great time), people tend to be able to move past it.

It’s not what you did rather how you act after the fact

Bro, that’s not what TRP is about. You can (and should) have emotions. Be stoic. Be sharp. Witty. Charismatic. Manly. Stand up for yourself and take life by the balls and make it your bitch. But when you’re justifiably emotional, let yourself go through it. It’s healthy and necessary unless you want to be a jaded, angry fuck your whole life.

I’m TRP to the core, and I’ll be the first to tell you there’s nothing wrong or beta about crying or having emotions.

Maybe you shouldn’t have drank so much? But it was a wedding- that’s what everyone does at weddings. If you’re feeling self conscious about how you acted- you should look into why you’re really feeling self conscious. It shouldn’t be because you cried in front of your family.

I just felt so happy to see them bury the hatchet, and to see my family all be happy at once when it seems that never happens.

Man. Fuck your family or anyone that thinks you did anything wrong. I understand family drama and seeing two grown men you both love and respect shake hands. You were drunk and couldn't hold in your emotions...but your emotions were nothing to be ashamed of

This is a perfect example of why men keep their emotions to themselves. You open up and people make fun of you.

Keep your head up and tell any family members shaming you about crying to get fucked. They clearly don't appreciate the truce your dad and sted dad just made.

Shake it off and keep on keepin on

There probs just teasing you. You expressed your emotions there’s nothing to feel bad about. You probably feel ashamed cause you’ve been told it’s wrong it’s not but it shouldn’t happen a lot

Internalize that you're ok, and that you know everything will be ok. Sure you were emotional last night, any weird way you get treated for it, is them being weird.

exactly as u/spinplates said. if people's hearts are just that made of stone not to appreciate a truce like that, or a calm in the storm, then you have nothing to be ashamed of. It'd be better if you weren't drunk while this happened, because then people could doubt the authenticity or sovereignty of your outburst. "Look at him, he's just drunk" or maybe your parent(s) took some flak from others on your conduct.

Advice: don't get drunk next time. But crying for happiness and the reprieve? It shows the depth of your character and how much you care. You have nothing to be ashamed of.

Normal. Emotions can overwhelm us. Nothing to be ashamed about. Move forward.

hatefulreason · 2019-10-21T21:25:09+00:00

demote anyone that gives you shit for that. as in trust them less and give them less help/attention. they sure arent helping you
