(保定一模改编) “When I was at primary school, I put my shoes on the wrong feet. I didn’t notice but my friends did.” —Max, aged 13.

Have you ever experienced such moments?Embarrassment is a feeling that can make you laugh, cry or want to hide forever. Falling over in a shop or accidentally calling your teacher “Mum” might feel like the end of the world. But not everyone thinks it’s a big deal. What feels terrible to one person might be easily laughed off by another. Whatever you are feeling embarrassed about, remember that it’s natural to feel this way.

Scientists believe embarrassment is a way of teaching us not to repeat mistakes. You feel embarrassed because you care too much about what other people think of you. Even if you think everyone saw you with cream on your face, studies show that fewer people notice than you think.
Embarrassment can’t be avoided in our life, so why not learn some tips for dealing with it?
Try making a joke out of it. For example, you are listening to music so carefully that you walk into a wall. What will you do?Say like “The wall is truly harder than my head!” Laughter can show people that there’s nothing to worry about.
