Tell me your dumbest moment...

What's the most embarassing or most stupid thing you've done caused by SP?

One of the many:

A few years ago I was in a school assembly and as we sat down on the bench this girl in my form made a point of giving herself about five times as much space from me as we normally do when it's that cramped. She looked at me like I was subhuman (which of course, made the irrational part of me feel that that's just what I was and the rational part of me hate her for being so rude and insensitive). I had been thinking about how much I needed to assert myself so I forced out the words 'scared you might catch something?' in the bitchiest tone I could manage to let her know that I knew she was being rude (because my way of dealing with mistreatment was to act like I hadn't noticed it, people thought I was unintelligent and didn't notice, understand or suspect anything people did to me). She was surprised but not intimidated as I must have put on my blank robot face and 'deer caught in headlights' eyes. I was terrified. She passed down the line what I'd said and when her friends were listening asked 'have you got anything I can catch?'

I was so scared I looked away for ages and stared at the clock. It could have been five minutes before I came back with a reply that was moderately clever for a little girl. I knew what I wanted to say quickly, but it took me that long to pluck up the courage. They didn't know that. They looked at me like I was the animal dung in a zoo. Wouldn't you think it weird if you'd been speaking to this person who ignored you for five minutes, then turned around when the conversation had moved on and picked up answering your question as if it had taken five minutes to think of an answer and as if you still knew what they were talking about?
Maybe that's one of those 'had to be there' moments but I remember because they were the strangest looks those people have given me and was the thing that convinced them I was insane; damage unrepaired to this day.

OK now yours anonymous

ok this happened to me when i was about lets say in grade 1or 2 ... it was my first or second day of school and i had to take the school bus. there was no more free seats except for a nice space near these other 2 small girls. so, i sat down there minding my own business, all shy and stuff worrying about what's going to happen in school. (ever since then i pretty much felt lower than others.) and then all of a sudden i hear whispers loud enough for me to understand. they didn't want me sitting next to them. they were telling me to get off cuz it was their seat... i should've stood up for myself but i was too frightened to say anything! (which ofcourse now i regret) so they're plan B was to push me off... it's kinda funny if i think of it now because you see me using all my force to stay on holding on the side of the seat. and i think they were like " 1.. 2... 3.....PUSH!!!!" hahaha well all i know is that it wasnt really funny for me at the time. and then they finally gave up asking if i wanted to be their friends (in a not so friendly manner) and then they were discussing something together.... it was soooo embarassing i feel pretty bad for not standing up for myself.

:evil:

I have many embarassing moments but this is the one that I can remember right now:

I was on my way to school and this guy came up to me. He started asking me about my name and stuff. I told him I was in a hurry and that I was late. I started walking really fast and next thing I know I was on the ground. My pants ripped and I got a huge bruise on my knee. I turned around and he was there with a smirk on his face. I got up and ran.

I went into the store to buy soda or something, and i was at the register when one of the workers came around the back dropped to his knee, confessed his "love" for me and asked me to marry him. i know he was just joking, BUT OMG i was like AHHHHHH i didnt even look at him grabbed my stuff and ran out of the store leaving my cousin inside. I will NOT go into that store anymore!

I have got my momebts too..
I remembered the time I was suppose to march along with a group of cadets. I was in the fire bregade society when I was young. I was so nervous that I can't think straight. I walk LITERALLY like a robot!! I moved both my arms front and back at the same time.. Kids laugh..

It really feels nice to know that i'm not alone on having embarassing situations.

I remember working in a store/shop years ago during the Christmas season. I had sneaked out for a little break to buy a couple of things.
When I arrived back one of the other sales guys noticed me coming up the little set of stairs leading to the main door and shouted over to me to come give him a hand with something a couple of customers he was with had asked about. Anyway, the abrupt attention got me a little flustered and shaky and thus I missed the top step which caused me to do a slow motion back flip out of the shop onto my backside. Of course, everyone in the shop saw this and immediately the whole place erupted in laughter. I was utterly embarrassed and probably melted the snow in the entire street from the heat coming from my face.

For me that would be an endless list. There is not a single day I do something I don't feel embarrased for.

My most embarrasing moment was at a restaurant. It was a smorg type set up where you serve your self. I was filling my plate with all types of food and went back to my seat.

The bread I had grabbed was hard like a ROCK! I tried to bite it but couldnt.

The waitress came up to me and told me that it wasnt edible. Accidently I had grabbed bread that was part of a display of glazed food items that was near the food bins...

I wanted to crawl under my seat and die! I was so embarrassed!

Mine was a couple years ago (I must have been about 10-12). I was dragged to a family thing, and my 2nd cousin's girlfriend (20-25) asked me where I lived. I couldn't tell her, and she must have thought I was mentally disabled.

I installed a machine for a company in Toronto and after the demonstration for the owner, he takes me and a couple of his employees to an exclusive men's club for lunch.....The place was full of businessmen and they required a suit jacket which I did not know and did not have. The owner, an elderly gentlemen, said that they had jackets to loan there and he would get me one. Well, he came out with a jacket that was large enough for me and my twin brother (if I had one) and after trying it on, he says "oh, no one will notice". I'm only 5' 6" and weighed then about 110 lbs and with this jacket on we walked past a dozen tables or more before we reached an empty one so you can imagine how embarrassed I felt going to the table and all during the lunch that I couldn't enjoy.

I remember one particular moment when at my then job, I was coming up the steps from the stock room with a couple of boxes of shoes for a customer to try on, and I tripped up and all of the boxes which contained the shoes fell out of my hand. Luckily, I only cought the attention of a few people but it was still embarassing.

Once I was in a car with my brother, his girlfriend, and two other friends of his. My brother's girlfriend took her car to a shop to be fixed. We had been driving in her parents car to and from school all week. Well while we were driving that day I asked her "Hey when is your car going to be fixed?" They said, "What do you mean?" I immediately realized we were in the car that was supposed to be fixed. I have no idea how I could have made such a dumb blunder. I can only think that the question was brought out by nervousness because I normally wouldn't let a totally stupid question to come out of my mouth.
Another time I was playing poker with my friends and we were playing for quite a while. I had a habit of looking at my two cards only once and repeating it in my head over and over. Well I was doing that and the turns were going around and everyone checked and I wasn't paying attention. Then the guy to my left said what's it gonna be? Because they were waiting on me. I said "Jack Nine offsu-!" And I stopped suddenly realizing I told them my hand. I couldn't play it off like I was joking and they all laughed. I laughed along with them and wasn't offended but it was somewhat embarassing that I made such a mistake.

when ever i'm in any social situations and i say something that embarasses me i can always tell that it's brought up by my anxiety and nervousness... 8O
...dont know how but i wanna quit having to be nervous and shit... blahhhhhh

i was checking out some chicks in class as i usually do, but at the same time having this stupid anxiety, so i felt kinda wierd, and then someone had to walk around to pass out some books, and she threw one in my direction like 'catch' and because of my SP daze 'on cloud 9' thing it hit me right in the nose and started a nosebleed lol

It might not be my most embarrassing moment but it is recent so I thought I'd share it with you anyway. The other day I was looking for free massive multiplayer online role playing games (mmorgp) and found one when you take the form of an animal. Cool I thought this might be fun, hook up with people around the world, fight evil and save the day etc. Anyway I had created my avatar, a nice young cat man in a fetching blue and white outfit. Given him a name, Chairman Meow which still makes me laugh although credit has to go to an old friend who told me one his mates called his rodent (can't remember which type) Chairman Mouse. :lol: So I logged on or whatever the jargon is, went through an initial help section and then someone came up to me and said hi. I went to pieces, I started panicing, my mind went blank and forget how to respond (like what buttons to press not that I could think of something to say anyway). Not knowing what to do I ran into some tent where there were loads of people AHHH! That was it I couldn't handle it and just switched my computer off. I felt like a huge prat for ages. I mean what must they of thought? It wasn't even real life!! They couldn't see me, they didn't know me, yet I ran away. How sad is that?

Yossarian, you definetly have a much more severe form of social phobia to do that in a game. But I can relate I used to play Asherons Call a MMORPG I never really got nervous when I talked to people, but I never did talk to people all that much. I never hunted in teams and sometimes I'd just go off into the wilderness by myself and kill monsters. I somewhat blame mmorpgs and my computer for worsening my social phobia. After I stopped playing the game I became increasingly unable to go outside of my house. I sometimes couldn't even look out my window because I was afraid a neighbor might see me through the curtains and think I'm spying on them. Just sitting in a chair in my backyard was a huge feat. And the worst part during that time was when I started trying to watch what I was thinking about because I became paranoid that poeple were listening to my thoughts. I'm no where near as bad as I used to be. I got out of it only because I had people who were super nice to me and invited me to do things with them. If no one tried to hang out with me I'd probably be just as bad or even worse than I was back then.

I know what you mean about games perpetuating SP. Still anything can be bad if it's done just to avoid reality. Then again everyone needs hobbies or activities to occupy their time. It's a difficult tightrope to walk at times because losing myself in a fantasy world can be therapeutic, I'd rather concentrate on bashing digital enemies than bashing myself.

I'm glad you've got some good friends now. No matter who are, having good people around you is important. I hope it continues to go well for you.

at work, whenever i feel like people think that im weird, or act scared of me, my face freezes up, and my voice gets all small and weak, my eyes also get big and dialated, because i get scared of making others afraid of me. I get panic attacks, and feel all dizzy and teary, it's like hell for me, so i try to act happy and smile alot, which probably looks weird and scare the people even more. what should i do in these situations???
