00:00Welcome back sunbro. We hope you all in great health and great money.

00:04Before we start, please at least subscribe so we can have little money for food and paying bills.

00:09Alright, today we are going to talk about cringe moments.

00:13Here's how to handle three types of embarrassment.

00:16We've all had those moments where you wish the ground would just open up and swallow you, right?

00:21Embarrassment is the cringey feeling when you're getting attention you really don't want.

00:24You might blush, fidget, laugh weirdly, or replay it in your head later thinking, ugh, why did I do that?

00:30You can't totally avoid embarrassment, but you can get better at dealing with it, especially if you know what kind you're facing.

00:371. Mistake-related embarrassment.

00:39This happens when you mess up, like spilling a drink, stammering, or walking around with toilet paper on your shoe.

00:44You feel judged. Maybe people even laugh.

00:47What helps? Just own it. Say, oops. Fix it if you can, then move on.

00:52If someone keeps teasing you, stay chill.

00:55Say stuff like, yep, I messed up, or yeah, that happened.

00:59If you don't react much, they'll probably stop.

01:012. Center of attention embarrassment.

01:03This is when all eyes are on you, maybe you're giving a speech or just getting some happy birthday.

01:08You feel awkward, like you don't know what to do with your hands.

01:12To deal with it, practice helps.

01:14The more you do it, the easier it gets.

01:16Also, try relaxing your body, breathing slower, and reminding yourself, this won't last long.

01:21You've just got to be brave for a moment.

01:243. Compliment-related embarrassment.

01:26Sometimes, being praised makes you squirm.

01:28You might want to downplay it.

01:30Oh, it wasn't a big deal, but doing that kind of insults the person giving the compliment.

01:34Here's the trick, just smile and say, thank you.

01:37That's it.

01:38Embarrassment feels awful, but it's not harmful.

01:41It just means you care about doing well and fitting in.

01:43So cut yourself some slack, laugh a little, and keep going.
