What do you do when you are embarrassed?

i really am a clumsy person and blush a lot. when i was younger there were a couple of times i cried which made the situation worse that what it really is. i get hysterrical too but now i learned how to take it easy and just laugh it off which i think a graceful way of dealing with humiliating situations. before i use to feel sorry for everything even the simplest humiliation i experienced but now i could comfortably tell people my experiences and laugh over it. it's fun!

I blush, laugh, I might start to stutter a little bit and then try to call myself out on my own silly stupidity! I don't try to make excuses unless I am trying make a joke out of it like, "Did you see that wall? It jumped right out and grabbed my shoulder." Or, "Did you see that carpet, it jumped up and grabbed my toe. It tripped me!" But, I never blame others or blame other things in a serious way! We all have clumsy moments both with our mouths and our feet. You have to laugh at yourself when you do something embarrassing! It helps take the sting out of the moment!

Depends of the situation, like lets say a good friend of mine would reveal something embarassing i've done or said and that it was something i'd confided in her/him, then i'd laugh it off in front of others but would then confront my friend and let them know i was upset they said that in front of people. If it was something i did, like trip on a cord or something, i'd probably laugh, or cry if i hurt myself LOL once though, i had gone to see fireworks at La Ronde, and we were standing under Jacques Cartier bridge,and it started raining. After the fireworks, we wanted to walk down the grass mountain to the parking lot, and i fell on my butt, cuz it was slippery (running shoes on wet grass) and slid alllllll the way to the bottom, people were actually moving aside to let me slide by and clapped as i passed them!! THE MOST EMBARASSING MOMENT OF MY LIFE SO FAR!!! And i was pissed off, for the first few minutes, yelling to my friends, thanks for helping me!! nobody tried to help me, they all moved aside!!! but after a while, i just imagined the whole scene from a spectator's point of view, and i laughed about it with my friends as i was rubbing my bruised rear end!

Well, i am pushed to a kind of situation, as you said, i would pretend for a while that i am enjoying things, even though it does not in any way invite laughter in me. But if i see that they are crossing the limits then, i make a abrupt stop to them,and leave the place, and make sure that in future i dont get involved in such an embarrasing atmosphere. Thank you friend, and take care of your health. Cheers and God be wirh you always.

If I am in an awkward situation and been embarrassed over some things, I pretend I am not affected or if I stumbled in a public place, I just get up and walk away as if nothing happened. Though I tried to conceal my embarrassment, my face cant. I easily reddend or blush in situations I feel awkward. And thats made me more embarrassed since people cant help not to stare at my so red face.

I usually get red in the face when I am embarrassed. I don't flame up like some people, but you can definitely tell that I am embarrassed. I try to be calm and think about other things that won't make my face turn red, but it doesn't always work. I can try, though; why not?

When I am embarrassed, my face will trun so red. And then I will try to relax myself and change another subject.

I would like to do the last option as often as I can but I would be less truthful if I say that I have a healthy way of handling embarassing situations. I would like to just simply dismiss them as 'dumb' things, but that is not simply the case all the time. More often, I just laugh to dispel the awkward feeling, or worst, mutter some real bad words unconsciously...

It all depends on the situation. Sometimes I will blush and walk away. Sometimes I will laugh along. If I am already in a bad mood and my husband keeps teasing me about it, he may get a harsh word or two. He used to try and embarrass me and it would work. Now I just ignore him and he gets bored with it.

Well,I don't take ambarrassment very well,I usually get red the face and sweat a little.And I will try to get out of there before anyone notices it.

blushing is just an initial reaction when you are embarrassed. You must face the situation no matter what and have courage to face them. After all, nothing you can do because it already happen In some cases when i embarrass, i just stop talking and make them feel that was uncomfortable with me. They just respect me for that. SOmetimes even if i am embarrass and that is really funny, even if am blushing, i just laugh at them too.

When I am embarrased, I am just usually silent,speechless. If I am in a situation that I am not comfortable. I just don't say something, I felt shiver down my spine and my palms are getting sweaty. But if it's just my friends having a good laugh ,like they tease me about something or with someone. My face would turn red like a tomato and would hide my face.

Yes. When I become ashamed I become red in the face...

I usually try to avoid getting myself in embarrassing situations at all costs but i guess everyone tries to do that but in the end i just laugh it off...I've always been able to laugh about myself and also see my faults but it's still a little stressful when people who don't know me laugh at me.

Eh my cheeks turn red and I hide my face. Though it depends on why I would be embarrassed. If someone finds out something about me (and yeah yeah we ALL have secrets) that I didn't want anyone to know, I would react that way but I would also harbour an anger towards that person later on. Which is wrong but its true. However if say my almost 6 year old daughter were to say something a little too "wise" to someone like announcing that a man who is wearing a pink shirt "look that guy is wearing a pink shirt, boys don't wear pink, whats wrong with him"... and there have been MANY other instances, my eyes would widen and I would just laugh uncomfortably. So thats how I would react.

If I am embarrased by someone's words or actions I will generally feel my face burn in the red flush and my hand will go to my mouth to cover it as it gapes open in an amazed gasp... If I am disturbed by a tasteless joke I will not respond with laughter or anything - in this case silence can say more than not.... occasionally I will reproach the person, but that really depends upon our relationship and if I deem it prudent. When something has occurred from me that was embarrassing such as when my slip fell down in church - right infront of the Priest!!! I try to hide myself. that one was particularly humiliating and I wanted to cry. other times if I fall or flub in my words I can laugh my embarrassment off.

No matter what the situation, I will definitely turn bright red! If I'm extremely over the top embarrassed, I have been known to cry. That is rare, but it has happened. If a guy that I have a crush on embarrasses me, I feel like crawling under a stone!

Usually I grin and say something like, "I'm sooooo embarrassed!" Then it's over and life goes on.

whenever i get embarassed, i just go with the flow but if somebody embarasses me at the time im in not so good mood, what i do is simply keep quiet and listen to what other people say.. but if my friends, embarasses me to other co-friends it doesnt really mind me at all because i know they would still love me for who i am.. i dont know if turn red. haha! i really dont know. i laugh at it most of the times... haha!

I will keep silent and dont consider these things that can make me annoyed and i will also tell my family about it. I feel have some pressure if i am embrassed, so i will listen to the music, play the guitar to relax my mood. hehe.....
