in reply to @silliestpersonaround's post:
sitting with the memory and enduring the discomfort can help sometimes, if you can remind yourself that the embarrassment isn't present/think about how it's not as bad as you think it is? or mindfulness/distraction through experiencing the moment you're in as you're in it can often work in the moment. thought stopping/directly trying to not think about something in the moment rarely works for long unfortunately
i've never found a permanent method though, and i hate that feeling a lot myself so, good luck!!
thanks for the tip, i'll keep that in mind anytime something embarrassing happens again
I like to go running when I find myself ruminating too much. Really any exercise or exhausting activity that can express some of that "I'm embarrassed" energy.
thanks
come to think of it my dog would love to be taken to the dog park again
Actively deny the memory. Tell yourself "I am NOT going to think about this" and make the conscious decision to think about something else 'loudly' if that makes any sense. I've gone so far as the "visualize a brick wall to repel psychic attack" method to turn my mind away.
Everyone's inner life is different, so maybe this won't help, but it's what works for me
okay i'll try it out
also
"PSYCHIC ATTACK!"
If it worked on those kids in village of the damned or whatever, it can work on inner demons and embarrassing memories too
