Have you suddenly fallen down on the road!!!!!!!!!!!

Thankfully I have not fallen down the road so far.I have fallen down in my bath room,fallen in the other rooms and fallen in love too.But not on the road. I must try once to show people that I too am not embarrass of falling. And How are you Apsara?

Yes, I did...when I was in high school. I fell down in the middle of the road running to catch a bus. I had a few books in my hand and a school bag...and there I was...fallen on the road...books around me...bag somewhere..skirt half way up my thigh! It was embarrassing...and more so because my cousin was around (who told the whole family...I would have preferred not to mention to anyone) and also my friends were with me. Of course, they helped me up and got my things but it was also embarrassing that they saw me fall :P

Oh yes, that had happened to me too recently. I was walking along the pavement os a street in the downtown core. All of a suddenly, I fell down. It was a shock. I just could not understand why I had fallen. Any way, one person who was also walking along the pavement beside me immediately helped me to rise up. I was so thankful to him. When I asked why I feel down, he said there were uneven places along the pavement. Yes, that must be it.

Dear friend, Yes few times I had just slipped on the road, few times I had just scrabbled but did not fall. I had seen people falling on the road. People also had helped few of them. As our road especially during rainy season is too bad even to walk, we may not know were there is any hole or not. Not only in rainy season also during summer seasons too one should be very careful while walking here.

Hi aps dear, How are you? Long time there is no interaction with you. Happy to see you again here. Coming to your topic, I think it is the common feeling among human being. I can’t recollect any falling but surely I know I feel embarrassment by thinking that anybody watches my falling. I will walk quickly as the lady did, just for making sure my self that nothing happened. However If I see anybody falling in front of me I feel sorry for them.

I think all of us have fallen either in home, or in street or at works during ones lifetime, it is natural i think, may be there is water, oil on the floor or tiles or street, one may fall down due to health issue too, i am not surprised at all.. Thank you so much for this discussion. Professor. . Cheers have a lucky day ahead. God bless you. Welcome always.

Wow! Do you think that old lady fell because she was sick or she only prevented and fell? I wonder why could she be embarrassed? It happened to me once to suddenly fall, but I was at the office. I had donated blood that morning. I felt I was dizzy and the next moment I found myself lying on the floor, with my face full of blood (I hit a huge safe while I was falling). All my colleagues was scared and they all tried to help me. I can tell you I was embarrassed.

Poor lady! I completely feel for her, I'm glad to hear that she got up, you had me alittle scared! I've just gotta say, I was zooming along on my scooter the other day when my front wheel slipped of the side of the curb! It felt as though I could literally see myself flying through the air! I was sooooo scared! Just a sudden screech, swishing of air, and the thud of my shoulder catching up with my arms.... easy to say I was embarrassed, could feel the warmth of redness rushing to my face, even more so 'cos I had to move myself out of the way of an incoming bus.... afterward though, it was aallll giggles! Just like you said! =D For the most part, I believe it's an irrational feeling that arises when you worry that your surrounding group of people (as our brains are evolutionarily wired as though we are still living in a pack rather than as a member of a herd) watching your social status drop - in a pack, people will not wish to be close to you if you are dangerous and attract attention from predators, right? Lucky that the bus wasn't hungry... jeez! ;-) It's alittle outdated, but I don't think evolution has caught up to the rapid growth in population yet. Does that clear up the "why should one feel embarrassed??" Question alittle more....?
