The prime time for memories of embarrassing things you said or did to come is when your brain is shutting down and you are trying to fall asleep. At this point, not only can you not sleep, but you contemplate if it’s worth talking to people anymore and you try to calm yourself down by telling yourself that nobody even remembers what you said or did and it’s only a big deal for you.
In most cases, others really don’t care if you messed up or have been a bit awkward, but there are times when they really can’t forget. At least these women on Reddit can’t forget how men told them something embarrassing or even inappropriate.
