Shame / Emabarrassment

Have you ever been ashamed of yourself or felt embarrassed of yourself? And why?

How did you overcome it?

Or do you still feel embarrassed of certain aspects of yourself? Why?

(With this I mean feeling ashamed because of your looks, language, background, hobby, anything that has to do with you).

I just discovered that I made a type mistake in in the title :o
Could anyone fix that?

Re: Shame / Emabarrassment

Does inappropriate behaviour count? That’s something I was ashamed of. Lessons have been learned and apologies have been offered more than once where due. I call it growing up from an excessively hyper teen to a somewhat placid but still slightly hyper young adult. :phati:

Re: Shame / Emabarrassment

Yes anything!

What kind of inappropriate behavior was it? :D

Re: Shame / Emabarrassment

Oh t’is no secret but let’s not delve into the details. :blush:

Re: Shame / Emabarrassment

I will admit something too :disgust:

I used to be ashamed of speaking punjabi in front of outsiders when I was around 13 years old :expressionless:

I felt ashamed of doing so, because of the attitude a lot of people used to have and still have about the punjabi language. Don’t think that I need to explain that.

But then it was over. Don’t know how. But glad.

Re: Shame / Emabarrassment

I feel embarrassed every time I have to tell someone that I'm from Pakistan.

Re: Shame / Emabarrassment

Why don't you just say that you are Indian or Bengali then?

Re: Shame / Emabarrassment

i was always embarrassed to speak Urdu incorrectly until i was 14 years of age. i lived in a village and didn’t go to any school…i spoke poorbii zabaan and it was quite embarrassing when i moved to a city to start my schooling. i would say i spoke 50% Urdu incorrectly…

…one example:

i once wanted to inquire one of my bro’s friends about the gender of the baby he was holding…i asked:

“yeh laRkii hai k mard”

he replied with a smile:

“yeh teen maah kaa MARD hai” :cb:

Re: Shame / Emabarrassment

Of speaking urdu in public 'cuz then the arabs would know Im not an arab.
Ofcourse thats not the case anymore.This was 12 yrs back.

Re: Shame / Emabarrassment

Anything that had to do with being desi/Muslim....back when I was in grade school. My school was all black/hispanic, and there were no other religions/ethnicities.

of course I grew out of that.

Re: Shame / Emabarrassment

well can I telll I was ashamed of my flat body and always felt like a little boy :bummer:. I didnt want to be seen with my siblings at all and avoided going to parties/weddings. ( may be thats the reason I ended up having a super nice almost-doormat- kind of -personality -______- )

Re: Shame / Emabarrassment

Our dad didn't live with us and it was sort of embarrassing(still is) when nosy people ask, "Why doesn't your dad live with you?" Well I don't know smart ass, go ask him yourself.

Re: Shame / Emabarrassment

@K. K. Faakhta Haha that wasn’t too bad.

@Little Princess Were you afraid that they would not accept you otherwise?

@Sara Ok. Did the black/hispanic students ever made comments about your background?

@Sanaabc Aww please stay the nice person that you are. We already have too much idiotas in this world. Only be harsh to people who ask for it :flower1:
And your body suits you, from what I have seen in the Cloths-thread.
(ok this sounds weird aka pervish -_- but you know what I mean)

@Saeed I just ignore such people. They eventually stop after you keep ignoring them.

Re: Shame / Emabarrassment

Yes…I’m ashamed of my big tidd. :disgust:

Re: Shame / Emabarrassment

I am sure it is not (that) big.

And if it is, then big tidds can be turned into smaller ones =)

Re: Shame / Emabarrassment

Old memories :naak: very inappropriate behavior , can’t tell details. :frowning: and now I am fat more embarrassing.:(that’s the biggest duh of my life.:frowning:

Re: Shame / Emabarrassment


I was afraid of them looking down at me 'cuz I'm a South Asian.

Re: Shame / Emabarrassment

I have grown a thick skin. It was a lot more confusing and embarrassing when I was a kid.

Re: Shame / Emabarrassment

I try not to lose my temper...but if I do...I feel embarrassed about it. Its stupid to get angry...you always make bad decisions, never say the right thing and more often than not...regret everything you say/do in anger.

Re: Shame / Emabarrassment

I did try hard I couldn't recall anything -
