trying to do this recently because i have a crippling fear of saying something incorrect and being embarrassed afterwards. but also im a human and its okay to be wrong and if i can be okay with others being wrong sometimes, others can be okay with me being wrong sometimes. i can make mistakes in remembering facts and it doesnt have to be a big deal. maybe this problem doesnt exist for anyone else and ive simply overcomplicated life for myself by worrying about this but maybe if anyone else struggles this could help you come to the realizations i have that its fine to say something wrong sometimes and you dont have to hesitate saying something out of the fear of being wrong. were here to learn and make mistakes. nobody can be perfect

probably going to need to do it heaps throughout your life, so might as well get comfortable with it early. i'm still working on this (and the ability to accept I have done something wrong without thinking it means I am terrible/unforgiveable/worthless/etc) so pls give tips if u have any

Knock on wood, but i feel like I've finally left the agonizing part of life when you realize that you've said something dumb immediately after you say it and so live in a perpetual state of cringing at yourself.
When I was a teenager, I was blissfully ignorant that I'd said something dumb until hours to days later, so tended to have my moments of cringe late at night and all at once.
In my early twenties, I spent my life in a constant state of embarrassment, trying to shove words back into my mouth as I realized a statement was tactless/offensive/mean/weird/etc. as I was saying it, and then needing to immediately apologize.
Now, it feels like I'm able to recognize that it would be a bad idea to say something before I say it, and so am able to significantly reduce the amount of cringe in my life. Hopefully I can keep this up until I get dementia in my old age <3

so epic i get to experience a range of human experience by feeling different genders day to day but also crushes your soul when you dont feel boy enough or girl enough or neutral enough. its so changing that nothing i do especially to my appearance is ever good enough to make me still feel good about it later when my gender feels completely different. but also i shouldnt complain on here, i came to this website to look on the bright side of life and find things to uplift me. so maybe ill come back and stop complaining when i find a way to please my near constant dysphoria. just felt like shouting into a void idk.
