I fell over outside a fast food chain

ugly-stephie posted on May 12, 2007 | views: 323 | Tags: whinging, embarassment, embarrassment, life, embarrassement
Tonight, I dragged myself into town despite my bet intentions not to go.  I had a fairly good night until it was time to call a taxi outside McDonald's.  I slipped on my cute little flats (which snapped at the heel as soon as the taxi dropped me at the first pub), and felt like a complete FUCKING MORON in front of my work friends and some girl I hardly knew who was sharing a taxi home with me.  By the way, a taxi is a CAB for all you American viewers. 
So I slipped on my arse outside Macca's.  I don't know why that makes me feel like such a fucker, but it does.  Please help me.  What the hell is wrong with me?  Why do I still care so much what people think?  I don't know, I just do.  And probably always will. 
 
I'd love the advice of someone more mature than me.  And by the way, my elbow hurts where I inadvertantly slipped - it just happened - I wasn't even drunk dammit!

    As with all embarrassment, just laugh it off if you, can and let it go.  As for your elbow, if it continues to hurt, please see a doctor.  It's going to be okay and it will pass.  If I can survive farting in a business meeting by accident, then you are going to be just fine through this. Some people might playfully tease you about it, but don't take it to heart.  They aren't meaning to hurt your feelings.

    aww stephie - there's nothing you can do now except laugh it off. 
    i hope you feel better!
    remember that everyone has things like this happen to them, it isn't just you!

    Hey - thank you so much for writing me!
     
    RiddleGirl - thankyou for your concern.  My elbow is okay today, a little bruised but I've done much worse before!  I'm slowly learning to laugh things off, but it's going to be a long road I think to the point where I can just completely shake things off.  Farting in a business meeting is a great story - it's a good way to get things started, and it would certainly lighten the mood!
     
    Secretlife - I'm so glad to have your comments.  You make me feel better about things.
     
    By the way, my adamant musings on my sobriety last night (as I read back over my post) were a stretch of the truth if this morning's headache was anything to go by!

    Steph,

    Falling in front of others is a UNIVERSAL embarrasment!  If you took a poll I'd bet it would be in the top ten, maybe even top five!  I still remember falling down some stairs in high school, and sweetie you don't even want to know how many millions of years ago that was (i am 4____) hehe

    Anyhow.  I have found that as I got older I cared less and less of what others thought of me.  When I was about 25 a woman in her 40's told me that as you age you become more comfortable with who you are and it matters less and less what others think.  I didn't believe her at the time but she was right. 

    The most important thing is who you are - if you are sincere, kind, honest and all that - then people will see YOU.  All of us get clumsy and make mistakes and even the most confident looking people feel stupid on the inside sometimes.
