Is there something you're really embarrassed about that you wish you could tell people?

Asked by wundayatta (58722points) November 24th, 2009

Well, here’s your chance! I was just writing to someone that one thing that really bothers me and embarrasses me is that, unless I have a constant interaction with someone, I can’t remember much, if anything, they told me about their lives. It’s as if I have alzheimers and I don’t remember meeting them the first time.

If we start pming again, I have to go dig up all the old pms just to find out what I’ve been told. It’s awful, because, even though it doesn’t sound that way, I’ve actually gotten pretty close to many of these people.

But we fall out of touch—I don’t know why—and then it all goes. Poof. Out of my mind. Really bothers me.

Do you have anything your are embarrassed about that you wish you could confess to fluther? Here’s your chance.

Yes I wish I could tell you but I’ve gotten to know you all so well. I just can’t do it.

that’s gotta be really annoying with Facebook’s “Couldn’t receive chat history” thing lately.

well i am actually the same exact way but a little different. maybe the first time i meet someone i dont really pay attention to what they say, well i feel like i do but then afterwards i cant remember much, like thier name for example..im horrible with names. and then if or when i talk to them again ii will ask them the same questions, knowing that i have asked before but thats when i realize i forgot. and thats when it get embarrasing, so im left with questions like so where are you from again? what was it that you did for a living? haha but other than that im totally reminded this time of year because 4 years ago on a thanksgiving dinner with family friends i made out with someone who was a friend and hes disgusting and it was only me and him upstairs whatching tv, and it was just because we were bored. no one knows! niether his friends. we discussed it only stayed between us

I was making fun of someones grammar mistake and I spelled grammar “grammer”. That’s pretty embarrassing for someone like me.

@Damn_Tony someones grammar mistake, or someone’s grammar mistake? :p.

I’m embarrassed that I facebook stalk people and read Anita Blake Vampire Hunter. My friends all think I have really great taste in… everything, and I’m completely obsessed with basically a trashier, grown-up Twilight with way more sex.

It’s not really embarrassing but during gym my twin and I had to do a push up test the lady walks over to us asks if we’re related obviously we say we arn’t two seconds later she walks over to my sister and I again only this time we were goofing off singing Johnny Cash tunes she doesn’t even bother to ask us her question. Once more she walks by us asking me how many push ups I got I said 2 she asks for my last name I say ____ same as my sisters, which just defeted the purpose of the joke. Woohoo great day in gym I looked like an idiot and got a C-

I had homosexual thoughts-that happened long time ago when I didn’t even know what it was used for.
Girls quickly changed my mind even if it meant shooting blanks.
Amazing what hormones can do do a youngster.

I ran my car into the median and scraped up the side a good bit. I tell everyone I was pushed over by a tow-truck (that it got close and I overreacted), but that’s not what happened. I was spitting out the window and I swerved and hit the wall. I hoped it was just a nick on the mirror, but when I got out it was the entire passenger door.
Don’t tell anyone!

Yes. Phew, that feels better.

Seriously, GQ @daloon – but no way I’m gonna say something online.

I’ve been up til 4:00 AM most nights since joining Fluther a month ago just because I can’t seem to tear myself away…

NewZen's avatar

@sliceswiththings I was like that at the beginning. The real life and work got in the way.

sliceswiththings's avatar

@NewZen Oh good, I’ll get over it? I’m hoping going home for Thanksgiving tomorrow will break the habit.

But I know I’ve been on ten days in a row but I haven’t gotten my award!!! So I have to at least keep logging in while at home to make sure I get it. Damn.

I’m too stupid to quit responding to every “male enhancement” spam.

NewZen's avatar

@ratboy You’re on a roll. I am laughing really hard.

One time I mixed up Wittgenstein’s Tractatus with his later Philosophical Investigations, talking with a fellow philosopher at a philosophy party. I am still mortified.

scotsbloke's avatar

About myself? I have one or two things I am slightly embarrassed about but am too shy to say, (dont we all?) although I do get a wee bit embarrassed about my Grammar sometimes, I mean I’m edumacated so why cant I spell sometimes? DOH! and I get mortified when my Dad-in-law has a wee dram and makes a total tit of himself. I just wanna run away then.
