How to Deal With an Embarrassing Situation, According to Science
ChannelBetter LifeDescription from the creator
When you do something embarrassing, you probably wish you were someone — anyone — else.
But new research says that’s not just an instinctual reaction: It’s actually a good strategy for dealing with cringe-worthy moments.
A new study published in the journal Motivation and Emotion says that picturing yourself as an observer of the gaffe, rather than a participant, may minimize distress. “It’s [about] detaching yourself from this embarrassing situation and realizing observers won’t judge you harshly,” explains Li Jiang, one of the study’s authors and a researcher at Carnegie Mellon University’s Center for Behavioral and Decision Research.
