Melanie’s Daily Words

Do you ever have those moments where you replay your most embarrassing instances over and over again in your mind? I’ve been doing that all day and it’s driving me crazy. Embarrassment is a really funny thing. I mean, the entire premise of embarrassment is that one cares what someone else thinks. And people are always trying to be cool and say they don’t care what people think, but how would we form relationships if we didn’t? We wouldn’t have friends mostly because we wouldn’t have enemies. Let me think this through. If I didn’t care what anyone else thought of me, I wouldn’t have to find things in common with people who would eventually become my friends. The entire world would just be full of apathy, which would be very strange….. I have a feeling that life would be different if no one truly cared what other people thought about them.

Does anyone care to share embarrassing stories? I’ll share one of mine! …I’m blanking. How about…yeah, I can’t think of one. Tell me yours and maybe my memory will return.
