Feel so embarrassed for getting it wrong

90% Normal
9 Comments

The other day in class, the lecturer asked me a question in front of everybody, an easy one in fact and I got it wrong.I don't know why I said it and I felt so embarrassed after that. I keep replaying the scene over and over again in my head and I feel like kicking myself every time I do so. The thing is, I know I'm being ridiculous and I keep telling myself that but my head won't listen. Is it normal to think this way?

    One of the only certainties of this world is that we're all going to be wrong at some time. I'd spent my entire life thinking that two famous people involved in football were father and son (they have the same surname). Turns out they're not and all my friends laughed at me. I laugh about it too and bring it up often. It's the best way to deal with it.

    I remember once, I introduced a friends cousin named Matthew Loyd. Hey pulled me aside and said firstly: his last name was Boyd not Loyd and that secondly his name wasn't Matthew and that it was Peter and too this day I have no idea how I got it mixed up lol

    I never raise my hand to answer a question because I get really embarrassed when I answer it incorrectly. I remember in year 2 the teacher asked us what a rooster sound like, from where I came from the rooster sound is pronounced 'gooo goo goo' but in Australia for some reason it is 'cockle doodle doo'. Of course the whole class burst out laughing at me, even the teacher. ): i never answered a question throughout the whole school life.

    When people look at you, it feels weird, yea, but still, you will be the one to get it right next time. They all have to go through getting it wrong their self's.

    It's normal to get a little embarrassed over thing's like that. I used to hate it when the teacher would call on me when I didn't have my hand raised. Grr... why do they alway's have to be like that?

    But seriously, after it's all done(school being done), and you're out of the classroom, it really doesn't matter. People forget as time goes by. And they really forget when someone new make's a fool out of themselves after you. And I'm sure they'll be new people after you that will steer the attention away from you to them. It happen's. We all make mistakes. We all say boneheaded thing's sometime's, no matter what they tell you. It happen's.

    A lot of time's the one's who make you feel worse about a wrong answer, are just big headed people. Did they laugh? Karma will get them.
