The Fear of Embarrassment.
Added 2023-02-02 17:07:40 +0000 UTCThere is no fear I have struggled with and been debilitated the most by than the fear of embarrassment. It has stopped me in my tracks and I have lost hours of my life to contemplating outcomes that may never happen. Part of me wishes to believe that there is some cosmic force that exists in a place that isn't locally real that governs the probability if embarrassing things happening to me.
And part if me thinks that part of me is a naive. Still, the fear of embarrassment is a boss that I have finally been forced to fight as I continue to grow into my villain self.
So I am going to share with you how to get over the fear of embarrassment.

2. Realize embarrassment is a created and conditioned emotional response.
3. Ask yourself how you'd want reasonable people to respond instead of how you think the unreasonable might.
4. Do a round of box breathing.
5. Fuck em
