Lesson Overview

16.40 – Coping With Embarrassment After an Outburst: After an emotional outburst, embarrassment can feel worse than the event itself. You might replay what happened, wishing you could erase it. But healing from embarrassment requires compassion, not avoidance. Remember, everyone loses composure sometimes—it’s part of being human. Start by taking accountability if needed, then remind yourself that one moment doesn’t define your worth. Reflection is valuable, but rumination is self-punishment. Separate guilt (“I made a mistake”) from shame (“I am a mistake”). The first leads to growth; the second leads to hiding. Use the experience to learn your triggers and plan better responses next time. Surround yourself with people who allow imperfection and progress. Coping with embarrassment teaches humility, patience, and perspective. Over time, these experiences strengthen emotional endurance—you stop fearing mistakes and start viewing them as teachers. Real confidence comes from accepting your humanity and continuing to grow with grace and courage.
