How do you deal with embarrassment?

Re: How do you deal with embarrassment?

That was basically my night last night except I was covered in blood, can barely walk, and lost my phone.

It's not that bad. Take a Nyquil and it'll be over.

Makes me wonder what happened

Holy crud, Cebby. You really must have a high tolerance for things.

Sounds like the both of you had good nights.

Re: How do you deal with embarrassment?

Ugh... My list of stories is entirely too long for my time at FSU... One thing I never had a problem with was peeing myself... peeing on other stuff, though, that happened too much.

Let's see... waking up covered in blood thinking I killed some sort of animal, then realizing I broke my nose on my side door mirror of my car as my friend was about to drive us home. Peeing all over a group of girl firends' shoes after passing out at their place post bar night. Waking up naked in entirely too many places...

Long story short, man, stuff happens when you drink. Most of that stuff happened when I was younger, I'm now finishing up at FSU and I never get out of control like that anymore. Have fun, but don't do anything stupid to put you or your friends in harms way.

I found it a solid night. It wasn't the best night of my mind, but considering that everyone went to the beach or New York without me and I was getting free drinks with a buddy from high school, it was certainly a lot better than I expected it to be since we didn't leave until 12:30 and went to a crappy bar.

Re: How do you deal with embarrassment?

Yeah. Well, I'd never tell anyone they shouldn't drink, I just don't like guys who drink and keep telling everyone that someone who doesn't enjoy drinking is wasting his life. I've heard it again and again by guys who drink, even guys who don't really drink a lot (though it doesn't really matter). Some guy told me that if I don't drink I'll have a hard time making friends and enjoy myself. Well, if I drink just to "make friends", that's certainly not enjoyment.

This and when people either A) have taken a psych or socio course at community college, so now they think they can uncover some deep down issue I have that's preventing me from drinking.

Maybe I just don't see the point/want to drink? Nah, makes too much sense.

That or B) people act is if I told them I'm dying. "Awwwww. I see. No, that's cool." Like I need your validation on the situation, but thanks.

Re: How do you deal with embarrassment?

I despise the type of guy who feels the need to say "why aren't you drinking?" or something to that effect and jokingly (or not) call you a name if you don't have a beer in your hand. I don't really care what anyone else does but when you start bothering me about it then we have a problem.

Re: How do you deal with embarrassment?

When I was in college I didn't drink but still hung out occasionally with people who got ****faced. When they would start bothering me about why I wasn't drinking (and, for whatever reason, I couldn't leave), my fallback would always be that it was against my religious beliefs. Depending on the night, I'd pick either Mormon or Muslim and explain that I wasn't allowed to. For some reason, this worked every time with my friends (including the ones that I had gone to Catholic high school with), further proving to me that alcohol in excess simply turns you in to a dumb***.

So you could try that next time.

Re: How do you deal with embarrassment?

Alcohol does not turn you into a dumb *** until you have drank a certain amount. I think alcohol is abused by people (Including myself sometimes)

I'll have to say...Nothing is better than having just a few beers while camping. I think it was the red bull and vodka that got me...Caffeine+Drunk=bad

Moderation is the key.

Shake it off and consider it a lesson learned.

Re: How do you deal with embarrassment?

I've had a few of those nights myself.

Like you, I had to hear about most of the dumb things I did through other people's recollections.

One time me and my friends were standing around talking or whatever in the backyard, I turn around right there and piss in my friend's neighbor's yard. The neighbor happens to be at the party and among the guys we were with. He says, "hey, that's my yard", and I turn around to say something, but my junk is still out and I'm still peeing, so I manage to spray him and all of my friends. Not only did they see my junk, but I peed on all of them. Do I remember any of it? Nope.

There are other stories from that night, but I do remember waking up the next day in my own pee so you're also not alone on that.

How to deal with the embarrassment afterwards? Just suck it up. That's all I did. There's not much else you can do. Don't feel too embarrassed because chances are your friends have also had nights like those themselves so they understand.

Re: How do you deal with embarrassment?

Been there done that. I have not done anything this silly in probably a few years. I am just happy you didn't drive or hurt yourself.

Haha, yeah I've gotten that a lot too over the years, as if I just revealed I had terminal cancer.

But for the most part, it's never been a hassle and people have respected how I roll either way.
