How to recover from embarrassment?

Well yesterday in lunch I was joking around with this guy, I went to kick him jokingly and he grabbed my leg and pushed me, I fell off balance and landed right on my rear end. It was embarrassing because:

1) I think my shirt came down and everyone saw my bra

2) I'm supposed to know how to counter these types of things (I have some martial arts training) and I felt like an idiot because something that simple was able to knock me over. And I really hate getting knocked to the ground.

And 3) I'm also not proud of the way I reacted. Rather than laughing about it, I brooded for the rest of the day and wanted to fight him, which is also kind of embarrassing now that I think about it. I have no clue what to do- I know it's not a big deal but I'm still embarrassed about it. Especially because of the way I reacted to it, is there any way to fix that? Sorry if this is a stupid question.How to recover from embarrassment?
The best thing for you to do and march right on up to him (but make sure no one else is around) and tell him how you feel. Tell him you were only joking around with him and he reacted in much more serious way. Also apologize for your reaction afterwards and say you only reacted that way because you were deeply embarrassed.



As for the bra thing... lol... it`s just a bra. Try walking in front of your father not realizing your whole breast is out LOL (yea it happened to me! Sh-- happens!)



It takes a really confident mature person to admit to their mistakes but you may be surprised on his response.



Good luck.
Embarrassment is a part of life, especially in high school. The best thing to do is to forget it and move on, easier said than done but it is possible. If anyone mentions it from now on just laugh and shrug it off and don't dwell because it is not as bad to others as it sounds to you. You are your biggest critic remember.How to recover from embarrassment?
Everyone has their own life to deal with; everyone is minding their own business. No one is going to remember what you did very soon.
at all it is not stupid question.
this actually reflects you are balanced psychologically as you discuss your behaviour and have inside you already the good moral values to adjust your daily behaviours and deals to cope with this high sense of beauty inside you.
you simply like your laughing and enjoying with friends and this shows to what degree you care about your relations and appreciation to friendship and your feeling of common responsibility towards any community you are in to keep it in harmony and beauty in every thing,laugh,smiling,good feeling,good and smart behaviour,it is so great from you.
then when you could not make the ends meet you felt that embarassment as you carryed more than you can.
you try to be so lovely to the campanyship in your table but they do not care about the bigger campanyship of other attendants.
one fair reaction from the man who hit you just after you did not laugh about it and he of course felt it on your face he should as fast as possible embrace you warmly and kiss you with appologizing smile.
but any way you just discuss it with him and remember that blame is good between lovers and friends because it reflects to what degree they are important to us.
so he will not take it hard or silly at all if you tried to discuss it with him.
and just he understands ,i am sure you will resettle back and no more embarrassed about it but you will be proud of your self as you care about others and can afford the burden of this care.How to recover from embarrassment?
Learn from it.



When you kick out that leg at someone, he has a right to react. In other words, you provoked it. Now that may be harsh, but at least it's the truth.



The bra, it probably covers more than a bathing suit top, so don't despair. The audience will get over it. The truth is, probably no one even noticed.



I don't think it was a laughing matter and that's probably why you didn't laugh. There is a lesson to be learned. You have to get honest and look at your part in this if you really want to get over it. Being angry with him is not the solution. It wasn't his fault. If you hadn't kick out at him, you wouldn't have ended up on the floor. This is a good thing to know.



You may want to apologize, if you're a big enough person to accept your responsibility in this. Otherwise, the next guy you kick at may really hurt you.
