"It's only embarrassing if you care what other people think"?

Yes!

My Shop Friend always used to say this to me, "why do you care so much if something's embarrassing?" "who cares if it's cringey?" "embrace the cringe" etc.
Basically saying that if you don't care what people think, then embarrassing things won't really bother you!

Of course, this is much easier in theory It's really hard to control your thoughts in RL.

Yeah exactly, but atm my social life is rubbish, & people are likely not to come to me so I need to put myself out there more & risk "embarrassment" I agree for people like me & you it really is easier said then done, I mean your mind is thinking all things & it can be hard to control anxious thoughts Hopefully we get there in the end though (soon please!!! )

I mean in social situations is this statement true do you think? I mean why am I often stuck inside on the internet & not interacting with people outside. A lot of it is down to being worried about potentially embarrassing myself in front of others. If I could just create a mindset where I don't think other are thinking I'm a weirdo/freak/dumbass etc I'm sure I'd be so much more comfortable outside

But if you can laugh it off and make jokes about what happened yourself then you've robbed anyone else of being able to embarrass you, it takes a while to not give a damn, i can do it in certain situations, it took me till uni to do horse riding, i'd always wanted to horse ride for years but didn't cos i was too embarrassed about it being 'girly'

no one can make you feel something unless you let them,

unless they punch you,

you control your emotions

embarrassment isnt' always bad, you should be embarrassed after having an affair it just means you recognise what your doing is wrong.

if you don't think you do anything wrong don't get embarrassed.

Just so you know, embarrassment is an evolutionary advantage - people warm more to those who show humility.

I don't understand how the two halves of that sentence are related to each other. What does embarrassment (or are you referring to a lack of it?) have to do with humility?

To the OP, I don't think that's true, no, at least not for everybody. Personally the only witness I get embarrassed in front of is myself. I can do something that other people find embarrassing, but if I don't find it embarrassing I won't get embarrassed. However if I find it embarrassing, it doesn't matter that other people don't find it embarrassing, the fact I find it embarrassing makes me embarrassed.

I hate spelling that word, embarrassed. I can't type it once without misspelling it. That to me is embarrassing, even though nobody else is going to care.

I don't understand how you don't understand how embarrasment is related to humility.

That isn't true though is it, largely you can't help how you feel about situations, other people or yourself. It's how you deal with feeling like that, and how much you let it dictate your actions, that matters. At least that's what I reckon.
