Yes indeed, thank the brain
Part of the reason I could never buy Inside Out. She gets to be, what? 11 years old and her first negative core memory is "moving away"?
No dead grandma? Favorite pet? Lost toy? No horrible embarassment in public? Not even one "Enjoy your meal!" - "Thanks! You too!"
Try this trick to get some ease :-) Can you remember when someone else misspoke something? no! Hence, nobody will remember what you have misspoken.
Yes, I do. A lot. Starting from elementary school when a class mate had a really weird pronunciation of Harry Potter.
Some of my embarrassing memories aren't even something I did, but something I cringed hard at when I saw or heard it. Sometimes I am so afraid someone else is going to embarrass themself I have to block my ears so I don't hear it.
Why is it a happy one, tho?
O yeah, that one time I blanked completely during a presentation. Fun times.
