make me feel better by telling me about cringing at yourself

I had an appointment with a man I fancied a bit in a professional context.
He asked me how I was and I didn't just overshare, it was like projectile vomiting sharing. The worst bit is that after I left I realised I was subconcious trying to impress him but really it was like I'd vomited on him with my life. I keep thinking about it and I want to die. I don't know him at all and the 'how are you' question was that very English thing of not a real question which makes it worse.

Please tell me something you've done that made you cringe to make me feel better.

When me and my boyfriend was early days we was talking in bed about food we liked. He asked me if I liked hot food and I replied yes but I do like cold food like sandwiches and stuff... he meant hot as in spicy😂😭

I die inside a little bit everytime I think of my reply hahaha

I was waiting to be put through to DD’s headmaster but the school switchboard must have mixed up the calls and the first I heard was -

Headmaster - is that you Mary Elizabeth? (the HM of another school)

Me, in a really sultry voice - no but I can be if you want me to.

I thought I was being so funny but 20 years later I still die a hundred deaths when I think about it.
