Embarrassment!Β That emotional state of intense discomfort with oneself,Β experienced upon having a socially unacceptable act witnessed by others π
Everybody has had that one moment in their life that they wish never happened! π and I’ve had a few of those embarrassing and awkward moments, enough to write about it! π I believe I have enough material to keep you entertained for a long timeπ
Life is a series of embarrassing and awkward moments which leave you feeling alone in your confusion and shame while everyone else is having a good belly laugh at your expense π
So, pour yourself a glass of your favourite drink, put your feet up and check out the 10 most embarrassing things that have ever happened to me π
1. Walking into a concrete pillar while doing the moon walk on my very first day at university in the cafeteria! π I can’t even! I don’t remember anyone laughing at the time but I’m sure they did afterwards π I mean who wouldn’t??? I ended up with a massive knob on my head for at least a week after that!
2. Falling off a treadmill while trying to out run my mother and sister π I landed against the back wall while my mother and sister laughed their abs into placeπ I helped myself up in the end π
3. On one of my first dates with my husband, I peed myself trying to run to the nearest toilet which was miles away :)π he was so sweet about it π luckily I had spare clothes in my bootπ he still married me π
4. I forgot to start the car while pulling away during my drivers license test. My nerves got the better of me π with rosy red cheeks I asked if I could start again, lucky for me the instructor was in a very good mood, laughed it off and allowed me to carry on….. atleast I passed! π
5. The first time I tried contouring my face for a night out with my husband, at the venue he asked me “what happened to your face” π I ran to the bathroom and saw I hadn’t blended it all properly π literally looked as if I had just come from a boxing match π
6. Finding out I was afraid of heights!!! while walking to watch my step father bungee jump! On the bridge that was atleast 260m above the ground, I broke out into a hysterical cry, I couldn’t breathe and the easiest thing to do was scream! And when I scream, I mean SCREAM! Everyone was staring at meπ do not ever want to do that AGAIN! I am still, terrifiedπ
7. You’ve all done this!Β π spending a private message to the wrong person #EnoughSaidπ
8. The first time I went ice skating with my cousins, trying to show off my stunts π I tripped over, fell face first into the ice, skidded across the rink and bruised my whole body including my ego π I couldn’t walk for a few days… and I had to put up with a lot of teasingπ I never went back ππ
9. At a school camp, I thought I would try out something new, like canoeingπ I jumped into the canoe, probably shouldn’t have done that, the whole canoe tumble over and landed on top of my head! In a river with undiscovered species, of cause I freaked outπ I gave up immediately! π
10. My favourite moment was when I was trying to show off my new karate skills, kicks and tricks, to my nanny π I was all in there you know, punch punch kick, until I slipped and fell so hard in the kitchen. My nanny couldn’t stop laughing π and I couldn’t breathe, I think I cried, she still laughed π I do miss her xxx

Embarrassment plagues every one of us from time to time. However, while you might try to prepare for embarrassing moments, you can never fully prevent themπ They will HAPPEN!
But you can always respond to them after they occur. React quickly to these seemingly unpleasant moments and you’ll turn your embarrassments into opportunities for learning and humour π
