Just a little something I wanted to whip up, because this is pretty much my life right here.
That is all.

this... so much this... two people blocked me on twitter and FA (completely seperate incidents) the other day and I know it's going to haunt me for a long long time. And I still remember stupid things like accidently calling a gradeschool teacher "mom" and how I loudly stated "lots of people suck their thumb" after the girl I had a crush on told me she did and to keep it a secret. DX
damn your submission making me remember things now

I'm sure somebody else has said something similar in the comments, but I prefer to think of it as the brain reminding you how much you've improved. After all, you wouldn't regret it now if you haven't changed in some way.
..of course, you still feel like poop at the time, but what better way to remind you to carry your umbrella than to make you walk through a downpour without it every now and then?

I think a lot of people aren't quite getting what I was after. These aren't 'didn't know any better' situations, this is more like 'my pants fell down in public once' sorta stuff. I didn't learn or improve anything, it just sucked and now I have to remember it forever. xD
I always think back on the time i came home drunk. First thing i said was "oh the party was fun i didnt drink" then somewhere down the line i said "im a little late because my truck got stuck in yucaipa on a trail" and then somewhere else i said something about cutting a tree down. Lol thwn i recieved a large and in charge smack from madre.
When I remember that type of stuff I just kinda shake my head and move on. Since I cant change it, and it hasnt really negatively impacted how my life is right now, I dont dwell on it. Most of it was high school drama that didnt matter. If I had done something that the consequences were still affecting me today it might be different, but it really doesnt affect my life today
This is the most true thing. Though I also manage to feel embarrassed about stupid things I may possibly do in the near future, despite almost always managing to avoid doing said stupid action.

I've found that when this sort of thing happens, it's not because of the memory. The memory is an effect, not the cause.
What happens is I'll just be feeling a general anxiety. The mind doesn't settle for that. If you're feeling anxious, there has to be a specific cause. So your mind finds one to be the excuse for it. Something like a memory that embarrasses you from ten years ago would do just fine for the purpose. Now there's this reason you feel anxious, and you can't shake it. Round and round you think about it. Spinning.
The solution is not in somehow dealing with the memory. The memory doesn't actually matter. It's a red herring. That's the trick of it. The solution is figuring out what was actually creating the underlying anxiety in the first place.
For me, the usual cause is mental overstimulation. Too much exposure to people, social situations, and stress, and not enough time alone to relax and recharge.
Other times, it is caused by hunger as I near the time of my next meal.
It can also be caused by lack of sleep or other things.
The solution is taking better care of myself. Often in a physical sense. Eating better. Sleeping regularly. And making time to relax alone in a quiet space.
That's what has worked for me. I hope that helps you.

This feeling of extreme inferiority, going over and over some old conversations, sound like one of several psychological disorders. All are curable with drugs. Or sometimes something as simple as eating a lot of bananas :) Maybe you should see a doctor?
I've read of a soldier who got an inferiority attack while standing sentry. He dropped his gun and deserted. Got caught several years later and spent a few months in hospital.
