Idk why, but I constantly think about the embarrassing memories I had in high school. There were A LOT, but the most embarrassing ones would be that when I was 14, I posted a note on fb saying I had a crush on this person and how hot/cute he was and I wanted to kiss him. I actually wrote his real name on there. I WAS INSANE. and a lot of ppl replied and soon the whole school knew I liked him. People were smiling/grinning/laughing at me at school all the time..etc. This happened 3-4 years ago but I AM STILL EMBARRASSED AND WANNA DIE?!!!

    Yeah its normal. Even some embarrassing memories of middle school make me cringe, and I'm in college. But it makes me feel better to remember that I'm a more mature person now. The part of my personality that compelled me to do the embarrassing thing still exists, obviously, but now I have more experience and more wisdom. Would you ever post a note on fb like that again? Look at your progress. You can be certain that you will make more mistakes in the future, but you can feel accomplished by the fact that you have learned, and that you are resolved to not make the same mistakes again. Always look forward.

    Learn to let these things go. If other people can't thats their problem. The past is the past right? Right. Its been many man years since I allowed myself to feel embarrassed. Shit happens, life goes on.

    I have an erdge to scream when I'm reminded of something that makes me mad, whether it was recently or months or even years ago. But I don't care about embarrassing moments from the past, like when everyone found out who I liked lol, I'm able to laugh about it now.

    So those were your feelings. Like nobody else had feelings in high school, big deal (not). You are a older now. Judge yourself by who you are and quit sweating the other stuff. No one really cared then. So why should you now? Relax.

    I get those too, I usually hit something with my fists while saying "Why did I do that? WHY?" or facepalming myself. It's pretty normal.

    Turn it into a good memory. You had the courage to say how you really felt. You flattered your crush and you gave everyone something to get excited over for a few days.
