Is it normal that i hold on to humiliating memories for so long?

I was very awkward as a kid, and I'm better at watching my mouth now, but a few times a week memories pop up, sometimes without being triggered. Many of these are from my early childhood, I think my earliest one I remember was at age 4 or 5.

    Seems how I'm diagnosed with Asperger's, I do embarrassing stuff all the time. I'm a lot better about it then I used to be though, and sometimes I get random flashbacks of embarrassing stuff I did when I was a child/teenager and it makes me want to cringe.

  • This is very common. Just remember we all do and say dumb things someimes. We're human! People probably don't even remember that embarassing thing you did seven years ago or that stupid gossip about someone from last year. I highly recommend reading The Four Agreements or checking out the audio version of this novel on YouTube. It's VERY helpful when dealing with this problem and more. Generally it helps SO much with self confidence and getting over little humiliating things. I would recommend that anyone read this book. :)
