How do you deal with embarrassment?

Re: How do you deal with embarrassment?

If I was in that bar I would of hated you so much and called you a doushebag at least 100 times.

But most of us have been there at least you didn't end up in the hospital getting your stomach pumped like I did a few years ago.

Re: How do you deal with embarrassment?

Hah, yeah, you sound like that douchebag. But at least you recognize it. Everyone has a drunk, stupid *** night every now and then. It's so stupid what you remember doing... and it's a good thing you don't remember everything else, because I'm sure it's even worse then what you do remember. But at least everyone knows it was just the alcohol for the night, so it's all good.

I can't stand hangovers and the upset stomach until the early evening the following day. That's one of the main reasons I don't drink as much. That and I got it out of my system, the thrill is gone now. I like to drink every now and then, but I don't get sloppy like I used to every now and then back in the day.

You're only 21. Who cares. You will be doing the same thing next weekend too, but maybe not quite as bad. You only live once, and you're only young once, enjoy it.

Enjoy it by being a d-bag and not remember it?

I've never understood that.

Re: How do you deal with embarrassment?

My best solution is to stop drinking. I've seen how drinking affects people. Some people can handle drinking. But most people can't. Drinking always leads to trouble one way are another. Best solution is to stop drinking altogether and move on with your life as it had never happen. It happens.

Re: How do you deal with embarrassment?

I have a bunch of stories like this. There were some fun times and I try to hold the attitude of "no regrets", but I got pretty close to real regrets a few times. I'm glad I never got an STD, got arrested, or got an unplanned pregnancy.

I personally don't drink really anymore, but that's more of a personal decision and has little to do with anyone else. I suggest just putting in a good effort towards moderating your drinking. If you can't do that, you then may want to reconsider alcohol. To me, it's less about health (which are still are potentially tremendous risks) and more about ruining friendships and becoming someone you don't want to be... like you did in this experience.

You'll probably catch flack for this night for a long time, but just take it in stride. Things happen, you didn't really hurt anyone besides your ego. You'll be fine.

Re: How do you deal with embarrassment?

I wouldnt say you have to stop drinking, but if you cant control the amount you drink then I would suggest to quit altogether.

Re: How do you deal with embarrassment?

In a few more years that hangover will last more than one day. At that point it will be much easier to stop after a couple drinks.

Re: How do you deal with embarrassment?

We all go through our phases and you're no different. As others suggested, learn to handle your drinking and know when to cut yourself off and if you can't, best you stop.

One of my more embarassing moment revolved around cheerleading national championships weekend, drinking for the first time, unlimited jungle juice & beer, tempting miscellaneous college cheerleaders from all major universities, being dry humped by a mascot in an elevator, - time traveling for 2 to 3 hours - and waking up in bed in a pool of my naked (male) teammate's vomit and urine with a fistful of bread in my hand and sharpie penises drawn all over my body. WTF....

* Time traveling - when you have absolutely no idea what you did or where you were.

Re: How do you deal with embarrassment?

I can't lie, that sounded like a GREAT night! LOL. I wish I could go back to my college days sometimes because they were good, care-free times.

There's no way I could get away with drinking like that today. I'm 26 and after I graduated and started working, I realized getting hammered wasn't any good for me. I only drink occasionally and I have to be somewhere where others are doing the same thing. Drinking alone is always FTL.

Re: How do you deal with embarrassment?

I just graduated from Penn State. So, I've got plenty of embarrassing stories of my four years.


This is the story that's sticking out, though:

I worked at a food place on campus freshman and sophy year, and we were having our formal at one of the frats on campus. Classy, I know. I had just recently broken up with my girlfriend of two years at the time, and someone convinced me to ask this chick that we work with to go to the formal with me. She said yes, so that was all good. More on that later.

Well, I started drinking at the formal. Nothing major. I can't down beer after beer because they just make me full way too quick. At first, that's all I could find at the formal. Then, I realized there was an open bar, so I had a couple shots. After that, I found this glorious drink called Sparks, which is basically an energy drink with alcohol already in it. I had about three of those, which probably could have killed me... lol. But I had fun at the formal.

Well, the next thing I remember, I'm on a couch at this frat and my buddy wakes me up saying that one of our coworkers needed an ambulance because he drank too much and that it was probably a good idea if I left before EMS got to the frat house. I got up and left, but when I exited the frat, I remember being scared because I had a 15-minute walk across campus to get to my apartment. So I called my roommate (who had smoked that night) and he met me about halfway to make sure I could get the rest of the way home.

The rest of this night I only know the details of because my friends have re-told the story over and over and over...

My three roommates were at the apartment and one of them had a chick over that he was trying to smash with. And my one roommate called over two of our girl neighbors to witness my drunkenness. Here's a list of what I heard I did...

-proceded to throw a red freeze pop across the living room... it hit the wall on the other side (I actually remember seeing a red spot on the wall that night), but it came SO close to hitting the girl my buddy was trying to bang.

-took a huge container of cheese balls (the kind you get at Sam's Club) and just pored them over my head... we were finding cheese balls that we hadn't cleane up til the end of the year

-nearly chocked myself on the chair I was sitting backwards on because I couldn't keep my head up

-walked around like a lion or something in my undershirt and boxers... my friends took pictures of this... lol

-asked my female neighbors who they'd "go gay for" and just answered the question for them. Apparently I said "Yeah, I'd like to see you *give oral pleasure to* Jessica Alba"

Here are the biggest, most embarrassing ones...

-I called my one roommate an "f-ing Jew" for no reason. I don't have an anti-Semitic bone in my body, and I love my roommate, but I felt like calling him that for some reason.

-I looked at the girl my buddy had over that he was trying to smash and said: "Zach's gonna rape you." He was like "no no no... I'm not gonna rape you. I'm a really nice guy."



So, yeah, embarrassing nights happen some times. It's DEFINITELY not a night I'm proud of, but it goes down as one of the most memorable moments of my college party career. It's a story my friends tell ALL the time, and it entertains everyone--strangers and other friends--so I don't regret it at all.

Re: How do you deal with embarrassment?

I do remember:
Last night I decided to go bar hopping with a few friends to enjoy myself before I leave. This is single handedly the most embarrassing night of my life. I went to a sports bar to watch the Brock Lesnar fight...I had 2 pitchers of the Mirror Pond and two red bull and vodkas (No that's not it.) I start screaming like a douche at the fight don't get me wrong I like MMA but I was just a black sheep...I didn't care that much because I was smashed (I hate those people to)

Do not remember:
Then I go to a club...I get 3 more redbull and vodkas double shots in each. By this time I am completely hammered. I am just going by what my friends said I did at this point because I do not remember anything. I approach some ladies playing pool...And I bought them all a drink (costed me probably 40 dollars!!!) and then I start dancing with this girl...I went ahead and did a chicken dance thinking I was cool. The girl left shortly after I did that I guess. Then I start dancing alone with my chicken dance while my friends and others are laughing at me.
I then take my shirt off...Trying to show everyone my muscles (Douchebag) then me and my friends get kicked out of the bar because I couldn't handle myself. We call a cab...And I start laughing at the cab drivers mustache and saying I could beat him up (Douchebag) we almost got kicked out of the cab. I get home but I do not pass out...I drink 3 beers...Then I go on facebook and message all my ex girlfriends asking for some...Ya know...As well as my sisters friend...Who I barely know.

Result: I wake up at 1:30 PM with all my clothes on even my shoes cig butts in my pocket...No money in my pocket...My phone in my pocket...With 9 messages on there all of them saying "I'm not a booty call, Tyler! I cannot believe you!" here is the big one....You ready for it? huh? I PEED MY PANTS! and I slept in pee all night...I look up...And my roomates are looking at me laughing. I had to explain to everyone I didn't remember, but most of them still seem bitter about it.

I bet nobody has a more embarrassing story.


I am so embarrassed IDK what to do...I'm hung over...Threw up twice. The embarrassment is effecting me more.

I laughed my behind off reading this story. This is some funny stuff man. Oh man I needed this one today. Man I don't want to lol @ your misery, but I gotta LOL @ your misery. This is too funny.

There is your problem there bro...

It's all good...I'm fine now. I started to hit the gym more and drink more water.

Re: How do you deal with embarrassment?

bg and me know what's up...Right around the same age I made my first mistake. The thing is nobody cares about it...They just talk about it for half a day. By this time all the embarrassment I faced is gone...Because nobody cares.

Exactly, man. You laugh it off and don't worry about it. If you feel like you did something detrimental to your life or someone close to yours, you fix it. If no one was hurt and you simply made a fool of yourself, find the humor in the situation and move on.

I've got plenty of experiences when I was drunk Facebook chatting people and made a complete fool out of myself. I just laugh it off and try not to overdo it like that in the future.

I had a moment when I had a chick over my apartment with REAL good chances of sealing the deal. I remember us hanging out, listening to music, making out a little... and all of a sudden she's storming out of my apartment... lol. She got uber-pissed at something I said, and I was drunk, so I just rolled with it and kept the a-hole schtick going until she left my apartment. Unfortunately, I couldn't (and still can't) remember what the hell I said to the girl THAT upset. A day or two later, I ran into her again, apologized and said that wasn't the real me. We laughed about it and we're still good friends, and we might chill this weekend.

My friends loved to hear me re-tell that story over the next few days (because one of the things I said to her to keep up the a-hole schtick was a little inside joke my friends and I had).

If it didn't hurt anyone, put it behind you and just look at it as a funny story... lol
