I take a different approach than you I guess. Rather than assume I will embarrass myself, I figure out what I do that is stupid that embarrasses myself and just stop doing it.....lol.

However if I do put my foot in my mouth I just admit it and make a joke about it and join the acknowledgement that it was the wrong thing to say/do.

Everyone's done it.....everyone knows how it feels, so if you just admit it and apologize of necessary and move on, like it's no big deal.....it will make everyone else feel better too.

It depens on the situation or the problem. If its not that bad I just act like it didnt happen or just laugh about it later in the future.

You should handle embarassment proudly. Speak up, stand tall, and ramble loudly and proudly. You have a point (somewhere) and it's up to the numbskulls out there to figure it out.

Embarrassment shows more a lack of self confidence than doing something silly. If you do fart in the elevator, fart proudly!

Look that's just the way you are. If people don't like it, that is their loss. I blather on myself sometimes too. Nothing wrong with that. Don't be hard on yourself.
