Why do we remember embarrassing moments for years
<p>You are doing something completely normal, then your brain decides to suddenly bring back an embarrassing moment from years ago, and it's so funny and strange because I forget the ordinary things, but remember that one embarrassing thing in details sef. 😂</p><p></p><p>Now the question is, why does the brain hold on to it? Let's talk about it.</p><p></p><p>Firstly, embarrassment comes with a strong emotional reaction. Your brain tends to remember emotionally significant experiences. Secondly, you remember the moment because it wants you to avoid repeating mistake. It's just like remembering what your wicked ex did to you😂.</p><p></p><p>Now the main point I'm trying to bring out is Do you remember your embarrassing moments so vividly that you assume other people remember it too? Let me answer the question for you. The thing is, we are actually the main characters in our own embarrassing moment, but we are probably not the main character in another person's life. The worst that can happen in that embarrassing moment is that you are laughed at and forgotten(Ouch 😂).</p><p></p><p>My point is, you don't need to keep punishing yourself/myself every time our brain decides to replay an embarrassing moment. </p><p></p><p>It happened</p><p></p><p>you survived it</p><p></p><p>and you can learn from it🎀.</p><p></p>
