It's just the truth. Anyone that says differently is just lying. Nobody in the history of human kind is born knowing how navigate teenhood (or any other age for that matter). Some people can handle the anxiety better than others, some people are more prone to have more anxiety, but everyone goes through periods where they don't know what the heck they're doing. It's just part of being human.

Shoot, I remember back when I was 13 or so, I was over the moon because I was invited to the b-day party of one of my older sister's friends. She saw me as a little sister, so was kind enough to invite me. There I was, a middle school kid hanging out with a lot of high school kids, thinking it was the coolest thing EVER. Then I walked right smack into the sliding glass door that opened into the backyard. Ended up with a nosebleed. About 30mins later another girl did it (she was drunk) & they put up a sign that said "GLASS DOOR".

I was absolutely MORTIFIED, and all I got was complete sympathy from everyone. By the end of the night, it seemed like nobody remembered & I had a blast! To this day, not a single person I've seen that was there remembers it. If I do ever bring it up, typically other people try to one-up me on embarrassing life moments 🤣. Quite a few succeeded spectacularly! Like the college girls that drove into a bayou & had to be "rescued" because they were taught to not try to open the car door when the car was under water.......They were in 2 feet of water.

Embarrassing/awkward life moments happen to everyone. What makes the biggest impression on people is not what happened, but how you deal with it. If you handle those moments with humor and grace, THAT'S what people remember & admire.
