Even when I’m alone, if I trip or do something “embarrassing” I just feel extremely ashamed of myself. It stops me from acting like myself in public and in front of friends too because I hate the feeling of embarrassment.

I’m also constantly embarrassed about things that aren’t even my fault. Like recently I ordered a product from a small business and what I received this week was completely unexpected. It was not what I wanted at all and I genuinely think they could’ve done a lot better considering how vastly different it looked from the examples on their website but I’m feeling embarrassed and ashamed of myself for possibly creating the problem in the first place since it *maybe* might have been avoided if I gave clearer instructions. Deep down I know it isn’t my fault but I just can’t help feeling bad and now I’m too scared to even ask for a refund because I don’t want to be mean.
