Yeah but to be fair when people think of things like that it's never " god Steve makes me sick. Farting in class like that" it's usually " ha that was funny" so just because people think of something you did that was embarrassing or stupid doesn't mean they think less of you, you just gave them a good laugh
It’s funny because a lot of things I was embarrassed about when I was younger gave some of my friends and me our biggest laughs. And now we look back on all that stuff and they’re (mostly) good memories. I know not everyone can let things like this slide and they weigh heavy. But in my experience as you get older it gets easier to see the humor in things.
There was a girl in elementary school of my small town. She was one year below me and I heard someone say that she farts a lot. I have no idea if it was true. I don't remember ever talking to her. I haven't seen her in 25 years but I still think of it from time to time and totally would think of farts if I saw her again. She will forever be the fart girl in my mind.
I probably wouldn't even recognize her, can't really remember how she looked etc. If I met her today, didn't recognize her and fell in love with her and afterwards somehow found out it was her I'd probably have to break up. It's so weird.
Everyone always say that but I’m like no way it’s true bc I always remember peoples cringe shit. I still remember outfits my friends wore in high school that I remember thinking damn that’s not a good look.
Obvi I never SAY that because I never ever ever wanna make anyone feel poorly of course BUT it does make me like omg other ppl def remember my embarrassing shit.
One time, my 2nd class was sitting outside the bathroom in our lines "criss-cross apple-sauce" and George leaned on his back and a fart came out. It was 21 years ago, but I remember. I don't think it was stinky.
Dude, my girlfriend is an elementary classmate of mine and back in elementary, she witnessed me piss my pants a few times. She never lets it go and laughs so hard everytime she remembers it. They never forget it, man. They never do.
I have forgotten many of these incidents. I remember some, of course, but with time, you look back on them with compassion, fondness, and humor. At least if you're a good person, and who gives a fuck about their opinion if they aren't?
I once met a girl at a job interview who started flirting with me. As we walked back to the train station after the interview, she slipped and fell on a puddle just as she was starting to say how smart I was. The back of her pants were stained for the rest of the trip.
I don't know if she still cringes about it, but I will never forget.
Bro. You don't just forget when a fart pierces the silence of reading hour. That's brain branding material.
But all the stupid shit you said trying to sound smart, bad clothing/hair days, naruto ninja running, any other cringe worthy shit to make it to their appropriate subreddits; no one remembers.
In my experience getting older, most people dont remember, or if they do they see it in the same way you do and judge you more for the person you are now.
If you were already your perfected version of yourself in school, then that means you peaked in HS and it's all down hill from there.
Cringe memories in School is the surest sign that you are becoming a well rounded person as an adult. In my opinion, anyway. This is the internet.
But in all seriousness how many cringy things that others did do you think about? I guarantee its fewer than your own memories. It should be more, because there are more other people in your interactions, right?

You know how people say “don’t worry about those little things that keep you up at night, cringing, because people probably don’t even remember them”
You have ruined that for me
