No real directions, but this isn't a place for debate. It's a place for RANTIN' AND RAVIN'.

There is a rule: There is to be no calling out anyone by name in Rants, Chatter, or on the Meme itself. This only produces an atmosphere of animosity and it is no longer tolerated. If you see any names being ranted about, please link us at Page-A-Mod. Thanks! :)

Please do not use this post or any other posts in the meme for sharing of download or streaming of links that aren't the official source of the content.

Generally, I'm pretty okay with who I am, but there is one thing that really annoys me about myself. I embarrass really easily. Misunderstanding the cashier at a store and giving them the wrong change is enough to send me into a shame spiral and seeing a typo in an anonymous comment after I've posted it is enough to make me blush. The logical part of my brain tells me it's no big deal, but the part of my brain that is obviously still a stuttering, painfully shy fifth grader screams, "HIDE!" at me.


I just really wish it would stop.

You're not alone. The vast majority of the time, I'm cheerful and confident. But I'll do or say something stupid/inept which any other person would shake off with no problem, but I'll obsess about it for days. It'll send me into a spiral of depression that leaves me struggling to even get out of bed for days. If I think of something embarrassing that happened to me elementary school, I still get depressed about it even twenty years later.

In other words: sympathetic fist bump.

Wow. I feel your pain.

My anti-depressants were helping me with that. Then I stopped taking them (weight gain :( ) and it's back with a vengeance.

Shame spiral is the perfect description.

Yes. I am the same way anon. It got slightly better after some REALLY BIG screw-ups happened and the world didn't end and I didn't die (though I felt like I was going to at the time.)
