How do you NOT be embarrassed?

Yes, that sounds like a stupid question; but I’ve noticed I get embarrassed by a lot of little things.

Most of them happen around “him.” People always call him my bf, and say we date and stuff. I always disagree, even though I do kinda like it. I usually disagree to save myself from self embarrassment, but by doing that, I end up embarrassed anyways. Self embarrassment how? I never actually asked him if he likes me, but it seems as if he does. So I always say we’re not dating, so he doesn’t have to even though he never does. Anyways, how do I learn not to be embarrassed by simple things like that.

Don’t get embarrassed by this, but it sounds like you like him. Maybe there is some reason you don’t want to be with him? Maybe you don’t like him. I would stand back and take a look at what you really get embarrassed about. Is it him? Is it your self-confidence? etc. whatever the answers to questions you find, you should stick with and let your actions match them. Maybe then you will find yourself in less embarrassing situations. Hope that helps!

Well now that you know it is self-confidence, try finding some ways to pick it up. I find that setting goals and achieving them really helps. Just start small and get bigger. :)

babes i got lower self esteem than you do. but you have to swallow all that lame-o embarrassment(something i do hourly) and just move on. in the end no one else matters but you. you want him, you do what you have to to get him.

It’s not what they think, its just how they say things.

Someone will be like “Dorien, your boyfriends here.” Whenever he’s late. and I’m like…… o-.-o He’s not my bf…..

Well so far the consensous is that you have low self esteem , But your post says AROUND HIM. Does this happen any other time. If not normally .then I would say you are infatuated with him HIGHLY,and afraid or whatever .I picture a giggly lauhg and a flush feeling in your cheeks.And that tilted head downward evertime he speaks to you. GO FOR IT!!!

I’m not embarrassed EVERY TIME I’m around him. Or else that would suck. I hang out with him a lot, so I’m pretty comfortable around him.

But everyday, that one guy ALWAYS says something like your bf is here or something. And that’s when I get embarrassed, because he isn’t my bf. Even though I would love for him to be.

Ok you have the answer .Its not a self esteem problem ,its the fact that you like him and have not crossed that line with him yet. Your mind is knowing what you are thinking at that moment when the other guy says it. If you let him know how you feel , The one you like that is, you will find that that feeling of embarasment will dissapear. Like I say .GO FOR IT, good luck

He knows I like him, but he doesn’t know how much I like him. So I just gotta tell him…Ugh.

Thanks Curtis, that helped a lot.

hey dorien i know exactly how you feel. if you both like eachother just tell him you like him a lot. but before you ask him..if people mistake him as your bf. that means you guys must flirt and stuff rihgt? if you guys do that stuff just talk with him alone one of these days and ask him “where do we stand?” lets say the guy who you like name is eric. for example..be like,”eric do you like me more than a friend because i will admit i really like you.” just ask him stuff like that. youll know when he’s lying by the way he will answer you. if hes trying to be all defensive and be like “NOO i dont like you!” that means he does. just try to bring stuff up like that. im a guy by the way..oh yea dont be embarassed at all by the stuff you do. thats why he likes you. he likes you for being you. dont stop bein you.

Hey girl you know the drill ,you may not think you do but you do.You know him right,then you should know the drill.Remember dont push the moment,let it happen,let the moment, that you set up to happen.You know get to a Quiet moment,You know him ,be there for him when he is “whatever”. Remember you are attracted to a man ,the worlds easiest prey, for a woman.Give a few lingering looks,but not to much,but make that 3 second longer look ,straight in the eyes, from the corner of your eyes.He may fail to linger for the firs few times Thinking he shouldnt look to long keep trying until you notice him give that extended look .A few repeats and well ,LETS SAY “YOU HAVE HIS ATTENTION”.If you get those in ,the rest should happen on its own.Remember he may just be a friend to you and you think he only sees you that way.Or he could be saying “What have you been waiting for.Its all in the eyes.Let me say that again ” ITS ALL IN THE EYES” Not to much you know just the right amount that feels good to you .We arent all that different ,you know .You just have to plug in those thing into the right moment,at the right time,with that longing look.And like I said,It’ll start happening or it wont.Take either as equally good.GOOD FRIEND OR BESTEST FRIEND !!!! You get alot of advice here, but take what ,SOUNDS, right for, YOU. You really know the answers for yourself,just affraid of failure.Need a little push.Remember,You, Wont reach sucess without a few failures,They are what make you Stronger. Dont live to others expectations,Live to get what you want ,what you need,Life is short.Just make sure you take the right path to get there.Dont worry about the forks in the road,you heart knows the RIGHT way.
