my body is a cage Posted July 6, 2011 Posted July 6, 2011 so yesterday i was at my friends 4th of july party... everything was fine until the evening, in which i remember my friend telling me to go home... i remember thinking im not that drunk, why is he saying i should go home? apparently i fell (bc of my platfornm shoes) in front of everyone and was bleeding everywhree... i remember being on the subway with my ex and i said "*** said i should go home" and he said "you DEFINITELY should go home." what would you guys think if your ex was this drunk in front of you? i think i partially darnk his much because he was there. now im So ashamed i made an even bigger fool of myself! and i wont see him in forever! ahhh!
Citizen Erased Posted July 6, 2011 Posted July 6, 2011 I'd think "damn I'm glad they're my ex". But if you won't see him for awhile, what does it really matter? In the meantime, get on with your life and maybe learn to stop drinking at the point before crazy drama you.
Stung Posted July 6, 2011 Posted July 6, 2011 Well, that's embarrassing, and you'll be kicking yourself for a few days. The trick is to take that embarrassment and use it to help you grow and make a few changes, like learning to deal with awkward emotional situations without overusing alcohol. But listen, don't let it make you too crazy--a lot of people learn these life lessons the hard way, and most of us have made big asses of ourselves at one time or another, even in front of the last person on earth we want to look like a fool in front of. The big problems arise when you can't learn from your mistakes.
smudge21 Posted July 6, 2011 Posted July 6, 2011 Chill, we all screw up and make mistakes - especially at parties where drink is involved. Plus, I can beat your story: Got invited over to ex's party at her house, her fiance was there (wierd, but we all get along as friends - well I tried to). Anyway, night goes on, all goes well, but I feel a tad uncomfortable, so drinking is my way out. Around midnight I suddenly hit that wall. No build up or anything, felt giddy but generally okay. Seconds later, I'm dizzy, throwing up, fall over, knock myself out. I can hear voices of people trying to wake me (including hers - all worried and upset). Ambulance arrives and I spend the night in hospital. Suffice to say, Facebook was interesting for me for the next few weeks. Worst thing though - last time I ever saw her... what a way to go out!
Author my body is a cage Posted July 7, 2011 Author Posted July 7, 2011 Worst thing though - last time I ever saw her... what a way to go out! gahh! i'll admit your story is more exteme... how long ago was this? this is what im afraid will happen to me! i mean, i don't know... do you think he will think less of me because of this? he's quite the partier himself but in the year that ive know him he's never lost his composure.. i already feel rejected and like he finds me unattractive, now i feel like he will find me even MORE unattractive... i guess theres nothing i can do right?
smudge21 Posted July 7, 2011 Posted July 7, 2011 I still think back to that (and it was earlier in the year) with so much regret! Why oh why did I do that (not that I had much control at the time). There really is no point though in focusing on what you can't possibly change, and that's what I try to realise. As much as I would love to go back and change that, sadly my Quantum Leap machine isn't ready yet so I can't. The best thing is just to accept it happened and try and learn from that mistake. Show that you're embarrassed by it but also laugh it off with others too, but not too much. The last thing you want is for people to think you're okay with what happened (like it's nothing new). You want them to realise this doesn't normally happen, but that you can also see the funny side. Things move on and eventually it will just be something that happened a long time ago, so try not to worry about it. The fact remains that it could've happened to anyone and similar will probably happen to everyone at some point anyway. We all get that way at least once in our lives... sometimes more! Try and take a small bit of positive from it all - your ex accompanied you to the subway. He cared that you were okay. But try not to worry too much about this... you screwed up, you're only human. Chin up and move on.
