Embarrassment is an emotional state experienced upon having a socially or professionally unacceptable act or condition witnessed by or revealed to others. Usually some amount of loss of honour or dignity is involved, but how much and the type depends on the embarrassing situation.
Most embarrassing thing that has ever happened to me, hmm.
Well, just the other day I'm at work. I was just getting back from my lunch and figured well, before I go back to work, I think I'll pee. So I go in the bathroom, pull down my pants and begin to pee. The next thing I know, one of my male co workers walks in. I see him and immediatly cover myself of course. I say "oh shit" and he turns around, and doesn't close the door. UGH right? That's what was running through my head. Then, I yell "uhh, can you at least shut the door?" He comes back, no words spoken and shuts the door. Then I think oh nooo, what just happned? As I'm taking it all in, I keep thinking how am I going to face this situation. How awkward. So I just go out, and as soon as we lock eyes again, we laugh. Although inside I'm freaking out. I seemed to laugh it off, and now I'm not that embarrassed. I sure was when it first happened though. I guess now that I think about it, it would't have been so embarrassing if it would have been a complete stranger, but when it's not it's super embarrassing because you have to go face them.
Another time, hmmm.
Well, I worked at a camp one summer, it turned out to be one of the best summers of my life. At the time it was staff training week and it was one of the last days so we were at ski beach kicking back. One of the guys had a boat and he was taking people out intertubing. I decieded I wanted to do it. Even though I can't swim very well, ha. So i go out there, get on this blow up thing and the boat starts to pull me around on this little string. At first I was fine, and then he started going faster and faster. Scared the crap out of me. (and just to clear up everything else, I had lost a little bit of weight from being sick, and my bathing suit was just a little loose.) Anyways, I happened to hit a large wave and fly into the air. For some reason, my bottoms got caught on intertube and when I flew up, they didn't go with me. Everyone on the boat probably saw my white ass fly through the air. So embarrassing. Then, once I landed I had to go fish for them in the water somewhere. I found them, and put them back on. When the boat came back for me, everyone was laughing, and making jokes. Everytime I go back to camp I still get reminded of it.
As for all the other embarrassing things that have happened to me, I figured they are all normal. For some reason the oddest things always happen to me. I mean theres been the stomach gurgle in a quiet classroom, the toilet paper stuck to your shoe, I just sat in gum moments, but those happen to the best of us. I've learned if you just laugh it off, the embarrassment goes away quicker, and no one really thinks about it in a negative way
