Feel Shit

[Zeus35]

Some of you will know that I started university. It's been going great. Unfortunately, something extremely embarrassing happened today. I have some new friends and at dinner time I sat at a table because I assumed my friend was sitting at it and it happened that my friend wasn't sitting at it at all and I left extremely embarrassed. So this is what happened. I saw a person with a very similar hair cut/colour to my friends hair, same build etcetera. I thought it was my friend. As I went to sit at the table I asked a few people if I could sit there. They said it was full. I was confused because I always sit next to my friend and I did wonder where my other friends were. Why they weren't at the table. I then looked at the person and realised it wasn't my friend. I said "I'm sorry I thought you were someone else" I walked away from the table completely embarrassed. I saw three people talking about me. It really upset me. I felt so self-conscious. I then noticed my friends on a nearby table and told them what happened, and how embarrassed I was that I almost sat at the wrong table. They said not to worry about it. I just feel upset about it though as the people made me feel so self-conscious and embarrassed when they started speaking about me like I'd committed the crime of the century. It was an accident. I have aspergers I'm not going to intentionally sit at a table without my friends there. Some of the people at the table I'd actually spoken to before. They'd sat with me and my friends on one occasion. I'd never once made them feel strange when they'd asked to sit with us. I said "sure" in a welcoming way. I just feel like such a fool. I felt so small when I realised my mistake. I just can't stop thinking about what happened. Now if I see those people I'm going to feel awkward.

Don't feel bad, this could have happened to anyone else and I'm sure you're not the only person this has happened to.

Even if you are embarrassed, there is really nothing embarrassing about it in my opinion. Mishaps happen.

In fact, I think it's brave that you were honest enough to say that you mistook someone.

Those people will probably forget about it in a few days, don't worry about it.

Everyone makes little mistakes like that, but most people are able to laugh it off and never look back. I relate to being so self-critical. I still think about mistakes I made years ago.
