Embarrassing situations happen to all of us — they’re normal, and sometimes frequent, but that doesn’t make them any easier to go through. In the midst of a tough moment, we can feel alone, terrified, and like we just want to go hide under a rock. Embarrassment rears its pesky head when we do things like ask a question the wrong way, when we aren’t sure of the answer to something but don’t want to admit that, or even when we physically do something like pass gas in public (luckily, there’s Gas-X Extra Strength Chewables for that, which help relieve gas fast). Because these situations are unavoidable, the quicker we’re able to realize that, the better. Below are some quotes to help remind you that embarrassing situations are normal, we all experience them, and they’re not lasting.
