How do you stop the cringe

[FeelingTheFool]

When you do something stupid. It's obvious that it's you and you could've admit it but you didn't for no apparent reason and now you feel like an idiot and can't stop cringing.

I eventually forget it and move on.

Time

At least I know others have experienced this too!

Until that precise moment at 1am 25 years later when you're just dropping off to sleep and your brain decides to remind you of it, in glorious Technicolor detail.

It never truly leaves you. It will be the last thought on your deathbed.

Lol I know it won't be my last thought.
That at least has put it into perspective so thank you @mansplainingsincethe90s

Aha I've got away with it and the cringe has gone. Hooray and phew.
Thank you for helping me through the temporary excruciating embarrassment.
