Stupid Girl: The Most Embarrassing Moments of my Childhood

6 min readJun 17, 2018

I don’t like to be embarrassed. Like, I really don’t. It’s too hard to deal with my inner perfectionist screaming at me to get it right. For that reason, I have actually made giant loops around buildings to avoid abruptly changing direction and looking foolish when I realized I was going the wrong way. I have avoided checking the mail on Sunday even if I didn’t check it on Saturday to avoid looking foolish. I have googled a store’s hours from the store’s parking lot in order to avoid going up to the door and looking … you guessed it, foolish.
