How to stop feeling embarrassed and how to let go of cringe memories is a topic not often talked about. However, we all have these memories. They can be disruptive, even painful over time. In this video, I talk about how to let go of these memories. More accurately, I talk about celebrating these memories as doing so allows us to be more open to risk and creativity in future.

I read a funny thing on Reddit where they say, when the memories pop up, they put the Seinfeld music in the background and laugh at it. I found it useful for small cringe moments, maybe it's different for the bigger ones!

@drdavidmaloneypsychotherapy Год назад

I have evolved in my way of thinking around this John. It can be horrendous at times. I now see it as a sort of 'means of control' the inner critic uses. The smaller we feel, the more easily controlled we can be.

I have very intrusive cringe memories, every day, often multiple times a day. Many of them hurt so bad, I wince and groan like I'm in physical pain. Sometimes when they sneak up on me, and people are around, I have to cover the groan like I was just clearing my throat, or stretching my neck. Not sure how effective it is >.

@manpreetkalsi929 3 месяца назад

You don't have to convince yourself that those cringe moments were the best times of your life, because they clearly weren't, and trying to reframe them that way might not feel genuine. Instead, what I do is accept myself fully as a state of consciousness having a human experience. I recognize that navigating this human experience can be tricky, and we might embarrass ourselves often. But that's okay. It's important to give yourself love, understanding, and compassion. By doing so, you can free that version of yourself that's burdened with guilt and shame, allowing you to fully embrace your humanness and learn how to do better next time.

I needed to hear this. I had a stupid moment while driving yesterday and keep replaying it in my mind. Nobody was hurt and no damage or anything but I felt insanely stupid afterwards. I'm still cringing thinking about it now but it was truthfully a mistake and I'm allowed to make them. I'm sure I'm the only one replaying it in my head. Driving is certainly a great source for anxiety at times.

@drdavidmaloneypsychotherapy Год назад

Mine embarrassing moment was at the airport. We were heading home from Kenya using travelling documents without passports and the student visa. We were told by our parents that's all we needed and it was our first time travelling since we settled in kenya. At the time I had misplaced our passports and we were going to renew them. There they told us we are supposed to be arrested it was so embarrassing cuz the man was shouting and caught everyone's attention at the end of it all we still go to leave cuz a nice hearted man the ones that check the travelling documents and passports, decided to question us instead of the loud guy. At the end he said we are from a well off family and we were young and not threatening so he will let us ho but the mistake is not to be repeated. It always replays in my head and I don't have peace because of that day and I'm really scared of airports now

@twilastube1145 Год назад

yours made me giggle, I'll tell you one of mine. I was 11 and for the first time ever I caught my crush's eye, I was so excited. I didn't look away, I stared at him head-on, with intense eyes. If I was an anime girl I think I'd have had those crazy eyes lol. Anyway my crush was so freaked out he walked away in panic, and surprisingly I wasn't embarrassed afterward, I think I thought I was in a movie or sth lmao. Hope this makes you feel better :) ps he never looked at me the same. now when I think of it I just cringe.

@torishiro514 9 месяцев назад

brother, I don't know if your cringe story can be worse than mine. Maybe my story can confort you from this. Just 30 minutes ago I barked (yes literally made huge dog bark sounds) infront of other close friends in a voice call. It's not a normal bark it is an angry bark. The reason behind this is because I can always imitate very realistic dog bark and always use this ability to play with my dog to see my dog's reaction. One of my friend group know this (we were playing Lethal company I there is a dog enemy I use bark to mess with them.)but other friend group don't. When I was mad I imitated the barking of a dog ironically. However, the moment I barked, I found that this group of friends who were playing with me today have no context of this and 95% did not realize it was satire. SO BAD so bad I still can not recover from it. I'm literally dying rn cause of this. Hope this can make you feel better about yourself lmao.

Anxiety tip: Next time you cringe over some embarrassing moment you had years ago, try to remember other people's embarrassing moments. You can't can you? That's because you're the only embarrassing human to exist, everyone else is always thinking about how cringey you are.

I also got a text from my friend saying that she likes him and she told me to ignore that guy. But i still texted him but i just did some normal conversation and that's it. After that my friend got upset and she blocked me. The next day i told my other friend to tell that guy that i actually like that guy because i was angry. My friend did tell him and later i found out that it was just a prank. I'm so embarrassed right now. I just want to kms. I want to move to a different country. That so called friend is going to tell everyone about this. I'm so so embarrassed. And i did apologize to her for replying to that guy a hundred times and i didn't even talk to him that much. She never apologized to me for doing such a horrible prank

Many people from a room full of hundreds of people where laughing at me. I was wearing a head phone so I didn't notice. But in the end I did. I have never fully recovered from that shame. Some times the memory comes back and I shout like a crazy person and then pretend like it was a huge sneeze.😅😂😂😂

Around all my friends, coworkers and classmates or even in my past relationships all my ex gfs have told me how I’m the most emotionally stable person they’ve met, level headed etc. Yet, when I talk to my dad or brothers and feel like I’m the subject of the joke or like I messed up and everyone’s watching I get uncontrollably flustered. It’s been a problem since I was 15. I can’t control it however I’ve made considerable improvement but still when it strikes I just feel hurt. This has led to me creating this image around my family that’s different from anyone else. Im in 1000% more stressful and difficult situations outside my home, yet when I pulled up to a yellow light and decided to stop instead of going through PURELY because my dad was in the car, I exploded. And again, the image in his mind is reinforced and I can’t explain to him 10 years of things influencing me. Maybe I’ll start a journal. Thanks for the video, man. Sorry for the rant

Okay so I wanted to share this so I cringe less and feel better hopefully... I tend to overthink a lot even on the silliest of things. So I have a friend at college and we leave together after our lectures get over. This time basically after our class got over at college, I left earlier thinking she's with her friend but turned out she wasn't because I saw her friend at the gate and I felt guilty and came home and texted her sorry... And she goes why sorry its okay and now I cringe because I shouldn't have texted her and should have ignored it because she's a sweet person and she really doesn't mind but... I overthink and I thought she might have felt bad so thats why I texted her the sorry... And now I'm feeling extremely embarrassed after creating this mess....😅

So basically there's an upcoming college fest in my college.. a teacher incharge for singing came in our class today to ask for students who can come in front and give auditions... I under peer pressure and some excitement ended up giving my name for it..only to realise later that this is certainly not my cup of tea... I went to meet the teacher in the break to inform her that I'm sorry I couldn't do it.. she said atleast try... The auditions we're scheduled after college. I went to meet her at the reported time along with the other students but the student incharge who happens to be a neighbour informs that she's busy in a meeting and we'll have to wait... I explained her the whole scenario and told her I don't want to put myself in this although I myself came forward earlier... I'm so bad at deciding but I honestly didn't want to do all realised that I just didn't want to do it... I'm feeling so bad about all this rn... I'm so bad at making a decision and I'm so fickle minded. She's such a sweet teacher but I feel as if I've fallen in her eyes... I know I shouldn't have given my name in the first place but... I've messed up now... I returned home... I'm feeling extremely guilty about all this... I'm planning to make a nice card and get some flowers and a chocolate along with it to apologise to her the next day... I hope she doesn't judge and hate me... I wish I could just vanish.

@rasverixxyleighraq1509 Год назад

One thing that I've been recently doing but I'm not sure how helpful in the long run is connecting an intrusive embarrassing memory to something that someone else did around the same time that i recall which was cringier than me and associating the 2 memories so that when the one of myself turns up, I recall the other and feel less embarrassed by comparison. I dont know if this is a good strategy in the long term though.

I think this sounds useful. If we are going to condemn ourselves, would we be willing to condemn others as easily? Your exercise seems to show the double standard which is helpful in my view.

I must be lucky to only have this cringe with situations in which I "misbehave" from my normal me. Which happens more and more. When I make just normal mistakes it doesnt bother me but sometimes I lose my temper and the regret is always accompanied by overthinking about it and cringing so hard that I make noises out loud all day. I hate it. What have I become over the past two years😢 It seems like this woman who would just accept everything she was given only to feel loved back has become a Karen. It sometimes feels good and absolutely right but the Karen is becoming more and more dominant in my personality

I hit my head in the car this afternoon, had to go to work with an ugly cap to cover my devils horn, trying to sneak off to work from home and then getting questions if I’m ok and where I’m going, just a typical traumatizing day 😂 i think there is something to be said about being this presentable person all the time and how terrifying it is when you can’t but have to go there anyway.
