Things like this have happened to me far too many times to count! I know exactly where you're coming from.

It's always made me feel better to remember that the other person is probably not even giving it a second thought. You're the one that's dwelling on it, not him. If anything, he probably genuinely appreciates the honesty and letting him see that side of you.

We are our own worst critics and we dwell on things far more than other people do. I like to think of it this way: did I have a conversation where someone ELSE said something that would embarrass THEM? How much am I dwelling on what THEY said? And do I really think less of THEM? In truth, probably not. If someone else says something we're usually really quick to let it go... so the same is probably true if you turn it around.
