hawke3000 Posted October 29, 2003 Share Posted October 29, 2003 I dont know about anyone else, but I usually do stupid things and mess up 3 to 4 times a day and it has really lowered my self-esteem. Like, say stupid things or do stupid things. It seems like I am constantly making a fool of myself! In front of my friends, my family, my teachers everyone! Does anyone else have a problem like this. PS. I hope a thread like this hasn't been made before. If so, sorry! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ani_Freak Posted October 29, 2003 Share Posted October 29, 2003 Well, to say the truth, I know what you mean. I usually, beleive it or not, make a fool of myself when I'm around women. I know, that's stupid, but it's true. Things begin to fall from my hands, I get a little nervous, and anxious. I feel a lot like Shinji from NGE, and a bit like Saotome of Hand Maid May. Sometimes, its a little frustrating to be that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doukeshi Posted October 29, 2003 Share Posted October 29, 2003 I someties say stupid things, but that's because I don't think about what I'm saying before I say it. I'm a bit of a pleb like that really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kieko Posted October 29, 2003 Share Posted October 29, 2003 Yeah, I say stupid things, too. See, there are these people at school that tease me sometimes, so I think of combacks to defend myself with. Some are good and some aren't. And some they use against me even more than I used against them. It's kind of embarrasing...:confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maully Posted October 29, 2003 Share Posted October 29, 2003 [color=green][size=1]I have put together quite a life of doing stupid things. People just kind of expect it from me now. Most of mine come from the fact that i will speak my mind, and it usually clashed with those around me. Mostly I think I am smarter than I actually am, and then I am proven wrong about something I was adamant about.[/color][/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PiroMunkie Posted October 29, 2003 Share Posted October 29, 2003 [size=1]I have always done stupid things ever since I can remember, but I do not regret any of them. I had fun with every one of them. That is all you really need to do is learn to make jokes about the 'stupid' things. Eventually the 'stupid' will turn into 'random' because you will just get so used to it and be able to go off on tangents about anything from the slightest stimulus. One time I was waiting outside a school after practice for a musical and I was just tracing a circle rapidly on the ground with a pen for no apparent reason, just because I was bored. Many people that walked by gave me weird looks, but one person came up to me and started talking to me and we ended up in a discussion about how we think "cavemen" came about inventing the wheel (if they [i]did[/i] in fact discover that concept). Now I know that really does not level as something that people might perceive as "stupid" ... it is more on the light side of the word. However, when it comes to humiliating stupidity you can do the same thing. Instead of making it so stupid that people laugh [i]at[/i] you, make it so stupid that people laugh [i]with[/i] you. Have fun with it. Nothing is ever as bad as you think it is.[/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Artemis Posted October 29, 2003 Share Posted October 29, 2003 I'm constantly making an idiot out of myself. I say stupid things or act really weird, and people look at me funny. Somewhere b/t 7th grade and sophomore year, I learned to just let it all slide. Instead of being the timid, easily intimidated little girl I used to be, I'm now the obnoxious loud mouth that ppl just roll their eyes at. I learned not to care if I do something stupid...in most cases at least. The one place I do feel inferior is in choir. I have a lot of fun, but I have two prima donas that sit on either side of me. I always feel like I'm not singing well enough. That's pretty much the only time of the day my self-esteem gets lowered. *shrugs* It's not too bad. Just don't take yourself too seriously. Learn to laugh at yourself. You can always laugh harder, longer, and louder than the idiots tryin' to make fun of you. :) ~art~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Japan Posted October 30, 2003 Share Posted October 30, 2003 I sometimes do stupid stuff. It really annoys me when it happens. I always seem to do stupid stuff when I am trying to impress someone, or when I am trying to say my true feelings to someone I have feelings about. It isn't as bad as it was a few years ago. Though, it still happens. Like Piromunkie said, I try to make a joke out of the things that appear or sound stupid. That helps bring the teasing level sdown and, me not feeling so embaressed.

Mitch Posted October 30, 2003 Share Posted October 30, 2003 [size=1] To make mistakes is only to be human. If it bothers you learn to get over it. Everyone does it. Not having confidence in yourself leads to low self-esteem. Self-esteem is an easily enough obtained thing. Making mistakes shouldn't be that effacing. You'll eventually learn not to get so weak and infirm over such little matters.[/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drix D'Zanth Posted October 30, 2003 Share Posted October 30, 2003 This thread is pointless.. no real discussion is to be truely garnered out of it. I forsee it becoming a thread where people throw in their two cents before realizing their opinion's have already been shared. The regret thread is close enough to this one as it is (share your messing up/regrets) closed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
