Sometimes we become embarrassed of something we did. Other times, it is because of someone who did put us in a certain situation that made us embarrassed. In all scenarios, being embarrassed could have a bad effect on our behavior. It could limit us from expressing ourselves.
I know that I am not speaking for everyone here. There are some people who do not feel embarrassed at all. Here is the question though. What can we do to overcome this? If someone puts us in a situation or says something that makes us feel uncomfortable. How should we react?
A lot of times, our mind is trying to maintain that image of ourselves in front of others.
I remember one day reading an article about this. The article has a weird solution to this. Which is, that some people tend to say something that they know that would make them uncomfortable on purpose. This often leads their mind to get used to criticism of others. Plus, it shows others sometimes that they do not care as much about their opinion. It "slightly" shows a sign of confidence.
In my opinion, I think it is really important that each individual have a solid self image of themselves. It is important that person is not worried about criticism. It is sometimes true and beneficial for self reflection and self improvement. But, it should not be something that defines one being. For instance, if someone was criticizing a behavior of other person. The other person should not have those words stuck in his mind and defines himself by words of others.
Have you tried this before? Let me know your experience with it. If you have other ways, you may also share them so, you can benefit others as well.
