3.How to Survive Embarrassing MomentsHave you ever done something embarrassing?At that moment,you probably wished you could disappear into thin air.Unfortunately,embarrassing things happen to everyone at one time or another.The good news?You can keep the damage to the minimum.Here's some help.
Laugh it off
You're staring at your crush (意中人) so hard that you walk into a wall.You trip over your own feet and drop all your books.The best thing you can do?As long as you're not seriously hurt,laugh it off.Say like"Hey,I can teach you to do that if you want to!"or"It took me years to learn that!"By laughing at yourself,you show people you're confident and still in control of the situation.That's bound to make a stronger impression than the fact that you dropped a stack of books.
Move on
Some situations are too personal to laugh off.Your underwear falls out of your backpack.Your bathing suit falls off in the pool.You pass gas while giving a presentation.Making a joke would just call more attention to what happened-and that's the last thing you want.What now?You can just pretend nothing happened and go back to what you were doing,or you can acknowledge it with a"Oh,that was awkward"and then move on.
If there's a joker who thinks it's a good idea to point out how badly you just embarrassed yourself,fix him with a glare and then go back to whatever you were doing.Tell yourself he's a little bug on the ground,not even worth thinking about.Remind yourself that it's over,done.Move on.
Apologize and move on
Some embarrassing situations pack a double punch.Not only do you embarrass yourself,but you make someone else feel bad.You say to a friend that another friend is such a copycat,and then realize the copycat is standing right behind you.You imitate your teacher's unusual accent just as the teacher walks in.Now you're embarrassed and they're mad or hurt.
Making a joke now would make the situation even worse,so don't go there.Although you might feel like running away or even crying,neither of those responses will make you look better.Instead,apologize,"I'm so sorry.That was really mean of me."
If you've been disrespectful to a teacher or a parent,accept whatever consequences without complaint.If you've hurt a friend,do your best to make it up to them.Once you've done all you can to make things right again,move on.If someone else brings it up,just say,"I feel bad enough about that-can we just let it go,please?"
The next time you're stuck in an embarrassing moment,remind yourself that you're a strong person and you can get through this.Stay calm and act confident and the moment will pass.
