What were you embarrassed about growing up as a teenager? Does it still embarrass you? Why/why not?
I can't remember an exact thing that embarrassed me as a teenager. I think because I have very little shame that I don't get embarrassed easily. When you grew up like I did, seeing doctors constantly and having to always answer personal questions, you learn to be very open. I'm sure the occasional trip up the stairs, the accidental passing of gas, the pronouncing something wrong, your parents telling a story that doesn't shed you in the best light, etc. were all things I got embarrassed about. And yes, all these things would probably still embarrass me today.
There is very few things that would happen that would cause me to be so embarrassed I wouldn't be able to get over it. The probability of something happening to us that hasn't or wouldn't happen to someone else as well is low. We all have moments that cause our cheeks to turn red and make us want to hind under a rock, but that's life. There is nothing that could happen embarrassment wise that won't be forgotten shortly after. So as cliche as it is, just grin and move on because I'm sure those people you get embarrassed in front of and by will do the same thing.
