Is it normal trying to act cool when thinking of embarrassing past

My embarrassing past keeps haunting my mind. No matter what I did to forget them all, those painful embarrassing moments just won't leave.

They usually haunt me whenever I'm alone. Whenever that happened, I feel very pathetic and such a loser. Then, I try to act cool and sexy when I actually not like that at all just to get my confidence back.

I only do this when I'm alone though. I did feel better after doing this but is it normal and wrong to keep doing this? Thanks.

    You act cool and sexy when you are alone to convince yourself that you are cool and sexy? Buddy, if you ain't buying it, no one else is either.

      No. I am not trying to convince myself to be cool and sexy. I just do that as a fake act to get my confidence back. To feel more confident is my actual purpose here.

        Yea I got that, but if you don't believe it yourself it is completely pointless.

    I've never met anyone who hasn't embarrassed themselves. Confidence comes in time - you have to try to like yourself, and believe that you're OK - not worry too much about what others think of you. They're probably too busy trying to be cool themselves, to even notice!
    Somebody's cool is another persons uncool - so just please yourself.

    If you are over 30, you probably have an embarrassing past. Welcome to the club. We are not perfect; life is not perfect.

    Why do so many let their past ruin their future?
    The past is over, done, gone. It cannot be altered, nor and it need not rule your lives.
    You people need to live your lives in spite of your past, not directed by it.
    In other words, get over it and move on.
