You can actually take control of embarrassing situations, even when they get out of your hands, see how.
How to respond in embarrassing situations? Following are some of the very common embarrassing situations with do and don’ts.
When you trip in front of People:It happens alot that we are walking on a footpath and suddenly we trip, or when climbing the stairs we sometimes miss a step and roll down couple of stairs. we cannot avoid falling down, Of course, gravity is to be blamed for that. But one thing we can do is to deal wisely with the embarrassment we feel at the moment when we pull ourself together. Best thing is to ACT like it wasn’t a big deal. Just pick your stuff, stand up, shake off dust from your clothes and continue to do what you were doing before the tragedy.
NEVER LOOK AROUND WHEN YOU FALL AND NEVER SMILE WHEN YOU GET BACK ON YOUR FEET.
When someone points out your mistake while you’re talking:
Another very common occurrence. There are two types of people that point out your mistakes when you’re talking, a) Your friends b)Your foes. When your friends tell you that you’re wrong about something, they want to CORRECT you but when your foes do the same thing they want to EMBARRASS you, so you have to deal with them differently.
When a friend points you out, you can joke, like ‘oh, i knew it i was just checking you’ or something like that, but make sure they get your joke. But when someone who is NOT your friend points you out, admit it with a light ’sorry’. NEVER JOKE ABOUT IT AND NEVER MAKE IT A BIG DEAL WITH LOTS OF APOLOGIES.
When someone jokes about you:
Mostly people take offense when they are being laughed at. This is the worst way to handle it since it can lead to bullying in future. Best way is to laugh with them and comment on the joke, preferably something funny but if you can’t say anything funny just say something like ‘that was funny’ or something like ‘man! that was unexpected’ etc.
NEVER GET ANGRY OR ELSE YOU WON’T GET OFF EASILY.
When no one laughs at your joke:
That happens a lot either because you told a joke when no one was listening OR because your joke was lame. If it was the earlier reason then you can get attention by saying something like ‘you guys just missed something really good’ and then tell them the joke when they are eagerly looking at you for ’something really good they just missed’ if its worth telling. if it was later reason, just comment like ‘just wanted to confirm that i wasn’t the only one who thought it wasn’t funny’ or something like that.
>>Always remember, when you are embarrassed just act normal and make sure not to show it, people would forget about it sooner than you think.
