If something really embarrassing ( 尴尬的 ) just happens to your friend, what should you do? If your friend starts laughing, you’ll have a funny story to share. Sometimes your friend seems really upset ( 沮丧的 ). In these cases, try to remember the golden rule: do to others what you want done to you.
A real friend won’t point out your embarrassment to others. He will let the moment pass. That way, when he gets into an embarrassing situation, you’ll be likely to let it pass too. Give a friend a break in an embarrassing moment. The next time you find yourself in a similar situation, you’ll be glad you did.
There’s no way to completely avoid ( 避免 ) embarrassing moments. You can’t control everything that happens, so sooner or later you’re going to be in a situation when you feel embarrassed. The key is to control your reaction and try not to be upset.
Remember that you’ll probably be laughing about it in a few days, so try to see the funny side of it right away. If it’s something so embarrassing that you know you’ll never laugh about it, understand that the pain will disappear over time.
Always keep in mind that you’re not alone. Everybody has embarrassing moments, and while you’re sure that everybody is going to remember this moment forever, the truth is that they’ll probably forget it. Most of us remember the moments when we were embarrassed, but very few of us remember other people’s embarrassing moments. So while you may never forget the time you dropped your milk in front of everybody or you split ( 裂开 ) your shorts in the gym class, chances are everybody else will forget.
Embarrassing moments sometimes seem to be the end of the world, but really, everybody has them. Sometimes embarrassing moments help people to remember the good things about you, many years from now.
