Is it normal to randomly cringe at things you've done in the past

I randomly cringe all the time and whisper to my self omg i was so stupid etc. like when i was 8 i was in line at walmart to try out the new 007 on ps1 at one of the demo stations, when everyone finally quit I got my turn and had to pee so bad, i looked behind me and no one was there so i pissed my pants right there and got pee all over the tile floor, i played for 5 minutes and ran to the bathroom. I cringed really hard at this yesterday at work!

    Yeah, that's really weird. It'd not so weird that you peed your pants, but weird that you placed standing in line to play a stupid game ahead of going to the bathroom to pee.

    I would say its normal. Sometimes i cringe at things i did while i was a teenager.
    Like the time i had sex with this guy in his little sisters room. As well as directly infront of his front door one night.
    But i dont know why those memories make me flinch. I was never embarrassed by them. They turned me to high hell actually. We were like obsessed with eachother sexually. We did it EVERYWHERE. Even in his parents car while they were home.
    But the little sisters room always made me flinch cuz after my hormones would go back down and id come to my senses, id imagine her and wonder if he changed the sheets or wiped up the mess we made. And id feel like a horrible person ...

    Some I would like to rectify, some I would have liked to complete.

    These anxiety spikes happen because your brain still thinks its a danger, so it stores it in the fight-or-flight region of the brain. But the act of writing the memory out (what you've just done) rewires it where it belongs.

    You will probably never cringe at this again.
