Not in the sense where you do dumb shit and disturb people and things and have absolute zero shame. But just not shaming yourself into not trying things or doing things because you fear judgement and embarrassment. We’ve integrated being ashamed into our consciousness over the darndiest littlest things. No more shame for goofing up when learning something new or waving to someone accidentally. Take it with stride. Just laugh at yourself once in a while… it makes a good story.
When i feel awkward or embarrassed at a social function i try to reframe and just think “Aw wow I’m just being a cute and endearing human“ bc ofc I’m gonna make mistakes and make a fool of myself @ times — like who isn’t honestly
