Well once I was doing some work outside and some people were laughing behind me. I thought they were laughing at me and I got very embarrassed!

hmmm... not to sound critical, but I find it mystifying why one would want to rehash one's most embarrassing moments (never mind broadcast them).

Only a few threads back was a similar topic, but the poster was in fact trying to forget their embarrassing moments.

Suit yourselves of course, but I believe reliving bad experiences is counterproductive. I suggested journalling, but there were other suggestions.

(I can think of humorous (i.e. where the humor trumped the embarrassment) mishaps of the past, but that's a whole other topic.)

what we may find embarassing may be funny ot others. it all depends on how you feel and react to the situation. i have had few embarassing moments too, and it has not been easy forgettign them. now after quite some time, i find those embarassing moments rather funny Exclamation

I had to take a public speaking class just last year, and during my first presentation I picked the number 1, so I had to present first. I started off okay, but then lost my confidence and my voice started shaking and I found that I couldn't even speak, so I just kind of went like "yeah..." and ended my presentation early, grabbed my USB thing from the computer and went ot sit down as I started crying. Basically once I got to my seat I started sobbing and yeah, it was absolutely horrible! VERY embarrassing. I mean, everyone was nice about it and stuff, but still I was just like "oh gosh, they all think I'm such a weirdo now!"

Another time that year, I was in a different class with the same people and i had to make a presentation, and I started crying right before I had to go up to present. I was like hyperventalating and shit. Again, everyone was nice and the teacher was nice and said that I could just present next class. When I finally presented the next class I did alright and managed to get through it just with a red face and a shaky voice.

Such embarrassing moments! I hated that stupid fucking public speaking class.

My worst moment was in 8th grade English class. I was sitting in the last row by the door, and my teacher called on me to read an English problem aloud. As I was reading (my teacher on the opposite side of the room), asked if anyone heard me. A couple of kids admitted they didn't so she said "Stand on top of your chair and read it again." I thought was kidding, so I sort of chuckled, and then she said she was serious. SO, I had to stand up high on my chair and read it. I never felt so embarrassed . When I was done, she was like "That was much better." BUT I felt like crap and couldn't believe I was told to do that.

As far as embarrassing stories go, I think it is okay to talk about them again. It makes me think about how far I have gotten since. Maybe not sooo far, but better. It makes me sad/teary recalling it, but you also think "Hey I survived that, life went on." Etc.

mine was my 18th birthday. the whole day was a mess but the most embarrassing part was having to make a speech in front of 200 people (most i didn't know)..i said one sentence and backed out so my dad took over and said "she's just shy". i got so embarrassed and started tearing up and everyone went awwwwwe! then a few people tried to calm me down which just made me feel worse. so i hid and left my "party" and didn't come back until everyone was gone..and all of this was caught on video. :/
