Worried about what you'd look like after squeezing into last year's bathing suit?Self-consciousness keeps us fighting that battle to control our self-image. But always worrying about our shortcomings certainly traps us in embarrassment and shame. When we introduce our friends to a colleague and forget her name, it's an embarrassing blow to our image, because we think others are viewing us in a negative light. If there are enough embarrassing moments that we begin viewing ourselves badly, then our self-image is ruined and we feel that heavy weight of shame.Creating a belief of success in our lives is one way to end the frightening trap of embarrassment and shame. Successfully completing a difficult project at work builds confidence and leads to future success. Similarly, a satisfying relationship is a prideful accomplishment and helps motivate us to seek other such connections.But how do we take that first brave step away from self-consciousness in order to feel like (and eventually become) a success? Kill shame-causing situations before they become a threat. The following points may be of some help.Don't be late. Punctuality creates self-discipline (自律) and impresses both others and yourself. And it's a healthy habit that keeps you calm about the clock.Stick to the facts. You're likely to get caught lying, so why bother? Lies just set you up with unnecessary opportunities to feel ashamed.Cut the gossip (闲言碎语). Comments made behind your back make you feel upset and angry.Focus on deep, meaningful talks where every conversation can be a chance to realize a dream or accomplish an aim.Don't break your promise. It feels good to be considered reliable, so honor your word no matter what the reasons are for disregarding them. Remember, a promise is a promise.If the damage is already done and you find yourself at the tail end of an embarrassing situation, you can recover gracefully to avoid /he feeling of shame. Don't speak in an angry way to cover your tracks you'll just end up feeling worse and likely complicate a relationship that doesn't need complicating. Try laughing it off or explaining why you made the mistake. Also, don't leave a social situation simply to avoid the people in front of whom you made a mistake--avoidance will leave you feeling further ashamed, alone and unhappy, Here's a very important point to remember: People tend to forget others' mistakes and think about their own.36—40 ADCAC 41—45 DBCBD 46—50 BACBA 51—55 CDBAD1—5 BDABD 6—8ACD71. over 72. embarrassed 73. image 74.
