Really embarrassed

[Newton2]

So last night I went to a party with my partner. We knew the host and that was it. Typical me gets nervous about these situations so I drank way too much!!

I seldom go out but when I do I go for it I just don’t know when to stop and seem to never learn my lesson.

Anyway I get talking to a girl and find out we both have the same job. Well I don’t know who I think I am I start saying come and work for me you’ll rise up the ranks and earn loads of money. I just feel like an idiot bragging about my job and saying what I earn. I’m normally quite shy but I can’t stop cringing about it I must have spoken to her for 10 minutes showing off. Every time I think about it I want the ground to swallow me up.

I know other people might think I’m being silly but I’ve spent the whole day worrying about it.

I’m new to this site please be nice

I was at a party once when someone who worked in "a field related to X" banged on and on for ages really boastful until other people started to try and make their own conversation

Someone asked a man who had been quite quiet what HE DID

He worked in actual X and had some really great stories.

Other person ignored this and kept waffling on - was quite funny

Blame alcohol OP

Don't sweat it OP

It feels horrible but I'm pretty sure most people have done way worse when they've been drinking, God knows I have.

I gave up drinking for this reason, the next day depression wasn't worth it.

I'm sure it wasn't as bad as you think it was! There's nothing worse than that hangover shame feeling you get. You'll probably never see her again anyway so never mind!

I can feel you. It's hangover-induced guilt and shame. It's ok, the worrying will pass and you will feel better by Tuesday.

Thank you so much. You’re right the anxiety the next day is just not worth it. Logically I know it’s nothing and I need to get over myself but it just replays again and again. I’m due to see all these people at a party next year. Think I’ll be avoiding that one! Or any alcohol to be fair. The beer fears aren’t worth it!

When you do see her again, bring the subject up, say how mortified and embarrassed you were and you're so sorry. There's every chance she will feel embarrassed about something she's done and you may very well be able to laugh about it with her. Try to replace this conversation into the one that is playing out over and over again in your head.

Been there OP not the same words but by letting the drink talk for me and making me want to hide under the duvet and also I've been the other side getting drunk spoken to.

If you feel you need to you can always send a message to the other party saying how embarrassed you are and if you feel the need to apologise take the opportunity to do so but honestly I wouldn't expect you to if I was that woman..

You are not the first person to feel this way and you certainly won't be the last.

If she decided to come and work for you would there be a job for her?

If yes, there’s no major problem here.

Most of us have done the drunk overtalking thing and also been on the receiving end of it. Any proper grown up will recognise it for what it is and be quite forgiving as long as you’re not talking absolute BS.

I've done this too many times! I literally cringe at myself the next day.

It's like that meme ... you start a convo in the female toilets on a night out and the next thing you know you've invited her to your wedding

I literally need a zip after alcohol!

Your not alone! Xx

It's the FEAR. Don't worry about it

Please don't worry. Hope you feel better today

You’ve got the beer fear! Happens to the best of us

Thanks guys. I don’t know her so think it might be a bit awkward if I try and find her on fb to message her enough time has passed and starting to think rationally that it’s not the end of the world. The worst that could happen is she she thinks I’m a plonker. Or maybe she’ll come and work with me lol

I’m hoping she forgot about it and just enjoyed her night!

Never
Drinking
Again!

Russell Brand paraphrased:

'My life is a series of embarrassing events, punctuated only by being on stage telling the audience about them. If I am not in here telling you about them, I am out there actually having them. That's why I will be reluctant to leave when the show is over.'

Lesson: everyone's lives are filled with embarrassing events. Try not to sweat it that yours is the same.

Ps I once spent 10mims talking to the CIO at a works do, a bit drunk. I didn't say anything but "bingo!" after everything he said.

Oh the shame!!!!
