i cant get over the simplest embarrassing moments.

like today
we were at the amusement park and i accidentally took another girls purse (from where you keep the purses when you go on a ride) thinking it was my friends purse. She came to me like wtf (obviously if someone is taking her purse she will be) and i said sorry i thought it was my friends. thats all i handed it to her and kinda smiled and it was over. also noone else made a big deal my other friends just giggled a bit when i mentioned it (they didn’t mention it even) , it didnt seem like big deal to them. i can;t stop obsessing about this and other small embarrassments like this, i could be having a great day, feeling very confident but when i remember such things my confident melts to the absolute ground and i hate myself & feel like punishing myself for what i did. i feel like scum of the earth. wtf and am i overreacting?

I have done that a billion times but in some cases laughing at yourself really helps.

I know how you feel and it is hard to let go of. Sometimes when I’m having a phone discussion with someone I don’t know quite how to end the call and sometimes I just panic and say something that to me seems weird but really isn’t a big deal to the other person. After I hang up I can’t stop thinking about it and feel awkward. The only thing I can do is concentrate on what’s in front of me and struggle through focusing because my mind always jumps back to the embarrassment. Eventually I get my mind off of it and continue on with the day. You just have to make up your mind that it isn’t a big deal and in the grand scheme of things it really doesn’t matter at all. Another way is to make a joke of it in your mind. Imagine the outcome being different and funny to you. That helps me a lot because I see how really minor and meaningless the event is an the humor helps to ease my mind.
