My voices brought to light everything and even things I didn’t remember.

How do you know I did embarrassing things in the past? What are your sources? Who are you working for?

eh…that joke is a bit ‘iffy’ on a sz forum. Ah well.

I don’t dwell on things in the past a whole lot. I may remember something in the past that I did not like, but I usually disregard it quickly and move on with my day.

I deliberately do things that are even more embarrassing now and then those things from the past don’t seem so bad in comparison.

On reflection I’ve been doing embarrassing things my whole life and will probably continue to do so.

I just did something very embarrassing very recently in mania, even on this forum. How do I cope with it? I regret it, but eventually have to move on.

There are things I did decades ago that I still cringe about.

oh man the stupid and embarrassing things I’ve done in the past haunt me
but I try to be merciful to myself but sometimes the old mistakes make me lose sleep and just feel embarrassed about myself.

I used to care about what people thought about me, when ive “acted out” thru being psychotic, or to be perfectly honest - drunk out of my skull.

But now i dont give a toss. Whomever you are. Your not going to get along with everyone - or some people will want to you fail, because they are jealous.

Ive done some right nutty things - and you will always get a neanderthal that lacks basic education that will try to belittle you for it.

Everyone makes stupid mistakes - and embarrasses themselves at some point in their lives. Usually the ones that shout the loudest, and judge you for it, secretly are unhappy themselves, and justify it to compensate for their own crap situation.
