there are few times that we would be in a very embarassing moment. not because we have done something against any one. but because we find ourselves in awkward situation that is not be good enough to be seen by other people in that situation. maybe it is just okay if it is just in your small circle of friends or just at home. i may have some of those things but i don't want to share it as it is quite embarassing actually. but i don't mind sharing or telling to those who know me personally.

When i had an embarrassing moment, i would usually tell my husband or daughter about it. We would usually laugh on it and it makes me not humiliated anymore.

Well, I try to handle embarrassing moments by laughing along with whoever decides to laugh at me. If its rally embarrassing, which is very rare, then I'll try to be optimistic because after all it won't ever help to be negative. I don't think I have had a seriously embarrassing moment, but if I do, I'll return to this discussion and explain how I handled it!

I can't believe I'm saying this, only cause it's anonymous but I'll tell you my most embarrasing momment. It was I think it was around last year, I was a senior in high school. I almost blocked this moment out because it shook me so much. I got walked in on in the bathroom by another girl in my grade. We didn't have any classes together at that point, then we had the same class, creative writing, later on for the rest of the year. I forgot about it and I hope she did too lol but I doubt it, it probably got around to the rest of the school like wildfire. I always check and double check to make sure the door is locked even before that incident occurred so I don't know how it happened, but now I triple check the door lol.

I have found myself in many embarrassing and awkward situations. Sometimes I brought the situation on and other times it was circumstance. No matter which, I do not handle these situations well. I become very uncomfortable and just want to get away form the situation. Often though, the situation is so uncomfortable that I freeze and even find it difficult to leave. I never tell anyone about these situations because I am often too embarrassed to discuss them.

I have a very poor memory as far as names of people who are introduced to me is concerned. No matter how attentive I have tried to be when new acquaintances are introduced to me, I forget the names soon after the encounter. The next time I meet them, I feel uncomfortable showing their names didn't register in my mind. This may happen through successive meetings if I have to meet them frequently thereafter. And every additional encounter without recollecting the names leads to accumulation of ignorance. Imagine a few meetings later if I have to ask some of those about their names . Those are my most embarrassing moments.
