What's the best way to get over a humiliating experience or situation?

Accept that it has happened and that this sort of thing happens to everyone. People often unconsciously like you more if they have witnessed your embarrassment, because it shows them you are human and they will be able to relate to you more. Breathe... Does it really matter?

In my opinion, the best way to overcome an embarrassing event is to remember it happens to everyone and that you're just human and therefore not perfect, and you will make lots of mistake in your life, and that's ok. Sometimes reading/listening to others embarrassing stories makes you feel not so awkward and alone too.

Spend time with family and friends who love you for you, and who make you feel seen for the person you are, not the mistakes you've made. Also, work on projects that make you happy and build your self-esteem; set positive goals and work towards achieving them, and you'll get your self-confidence back. If the humiliating experience revealed some unbecoming character traits, then confront those traits and do what you can to change for the better. Finally, just give it time: the memory of the humiliation should fade, and eventually someone else will do something humiliating and take the focus off of you. Humiliation is a uniquely human and inevitable experience: we all get our turn in this unflattering spotlight.

If you're mad, find a way to safely take out your anger. Don't do anything drastic like self harm, perhaps buy a stress ball or go for a run. This is important, if you bottle the experience it becomes far harder to come to terms with and eventually forget.

I would try to focus on my day-a-day and think it as a common situation, mistakes does exist and everybody have it

Talk about it with a family member or friend. Try to find humor in it. Forgive yourself and be gentle with yourself. Tell yourself to let it go and try not to dwell on it.

To accept it and analyze the situation. How or why did I get myself in this. Learn from it, and you will keep yourself out. It's really humiliating if you go through it twice.

I usually joke about the situation and brush it off or try and make it into a joke or a laugh , otherwise you could just ignore it ever happened :)

Laugh about it! You'd be surprised, but I find myself able to stop beating myself up over situations if I laugh about it either alone or with someone else.

Do something that makes you feel good, something that you are good and and proud of. This will restore your sense of pride. Better yet, reach out to someone else who is feeling down or humiliated, and support them by letting them know you care.

keep your head up! think of what happened and whats "humiliating" about it. maybe you will realize that we tend to throw a certain light on things...we are prejudiced and label people and situations. arent mistakes common? after all, we are human! so, dont be too harsh on yourself and have faith in you! a bad experience hurt you already, dont let it hurt you even more.

For me, it took realising that I could not change what happened. It was done and stressing out about it was hurting me

The best way to get over a humiliating experience or a situation is to regain composure and understand slowly but surely that human beings also make mistakes. One must realize that it's okay to mistakes as it is the best way to learn.

Learn to laugh at yourself! Humiliating things happen to everyone. Keeping these situations secret, as if they're something to be hidden, is only going to make you feel more shame and awkwardness. My suggestion? Find someone to open up to. As soon as I told some of my most humiliating things to someone - albeit a safe person I knew I could trust - I wasn't so worried about it anymore! I was able to let the whole thing go. Not that I would go around telling everyone what happened, but I'm able to feel okay about it within myself.

It all depends on the severity of the situation. Some people experience humiliation when they are in an abusive relationship. If that may be the case for you, speaking to a trained therapist is probably the safest place to work through what is going on. If that's not the situation, then I would say one of the best ways to work through it is by talking about what happened with people you trust. Shame grows when things are kept hidden. Although you may want to avoid talking about it because it can bring up difficult feelings, trying to deal with it in isolation may make your feelings worse. Talking about the humiliating experience with someone who is non-judgemental and trustworthy can help your suffering pass more quickly.
