What to do when humiliation happens?

Humiliation is not something we look forward to. it is something we must endure when it comes to us. We may think it is the end of the world when our turn at humiliation comes around. We suffer embarrassment and shame. We have to find our own way to overcome the humiliation. Find the pride from deep in your soul and carry on. The humiliation we feel will pass. it will not go on forever unless we let it.

I think it's part of life. We all go through life forgetting that there' re people and circumstances that could humiliate us, and so we at times have not prepared for it. However, when it happen, I would say we should try our best to keep our dignity where it should be. I know, most times it just happens so fast we couldn't defend ourselves, but bare in my certain things that you will not do no matter what, and never back down from that your very own principles. ;) For those things that happened and already passed, just let it go. The worst thing you can do to yourself is to beat yourself up. Look at what happened and learn from it. Bad days and bad people are out there, just be ready for the next time it comes. Good luck.

I think all humans here on earth got some humiliations happen to them from time to time. It really depend upon with the situation and how hard the shame is. You have an intriguing post and I am so interested what is your worst humiliating moment and maybe you could share it with us. In your post you said that you did something humiliating and never want to go back to that place again. Whatever it is I think that will be your lesson not to do something stupid in front of other people because they will remember that forever.

If you were so humiliated then why did you do it in the first place? You're right, you shouldn't go back there. People might recognize you though so change your haircut or grow a beard or something.

Well its a part of life we should just forget it and move on.Otherwise we would get depressed and then spoil our health.So its better to accept those moments as part of life.

With out knowing the exact details of the situation its hard to comment on what to do. From experience when ever a humiliation moment arises I would focus on the situation core to figure out a solution. In your case you seem torn about returning to the place of the incident. The easy turn would be not to return if you dont have to. If you need to revisit the location, you should enter with head high and mistake behind you. Head high and accepting a fault is the best way to feel normal again.

Simple, you go back and act like nothing has happened. Greet everyone with love and kindness.If you are pressed, say Yes, I admit I made a mistake. These things do happen to us all from time to time. How could I allow such things to keep me from my wonderful friends. Haven't all of you done something dumb in your lives??? If they say no, perhaps it's time to question their honesty.

Hi Jankar, Well, since it happened already, pick up the pieces and move on. Reflect on what learning did you get from that experience and make it a challenge or even an inspiration to be a better person. Be assertive next time and take time to think over things before doing it. Here's a hug to comfort you from such humiliation. cheer up friend!

Mostly, if humiliations do happen I try to act composed and walk away. Like nothing ever happened. If they start laughing I run for it and hide! hahahaha But most likely I won't be seen in those places for some time.

I like your thread topic. Really interesting. Hmm...I've had a bunch of humiliating moments, to be quite honest. I usually try to laugh it off. Same thing with when I fall down or something and everyone asks me if I'm okay, I laugh. I think it's more of a nervous habit, but I'm really not sure what to do. Afterward, I'm usually a bit upset about it, but I usually don't blow it out of proportion. It happens to the best of us.
