"What are the completely mundane, illogical things that embarrass you?
One of mine is the wipers on my car going faster than necessary 
Also, typos  "
Typos in general but in a veri 
.
Slightly tripping on a crack in the pavement
Running to cross a road only for green man to come on
Running to make the light but having to turn back
Just getting to the platform as the doors close on a train
Bank card getting refused
Not remembering peoples names/faces
Being the center of attention (this is contextual)

After a conversation with a friend many years ago I realised I had a booger on show the whole time!! I was absolutely mortified!! So much so that to this day I constantly check my nose in the mirror and if I'm talking to someone I'm rubbing my nose and sniffing!! Now it looks like I'm after taking something illegal!! I don't know which is more embarrassing... |

I can't remember names at all
In work I've been know to talk to someone for ages without using their name because I can't remember their name at all
At socials I'm feckin useless with names
I remember fab photos but not profiles
I'm been talking to a couple for ages and we're planning on meeting for a coffee and they introduced themselves to me at a social recently and my stupid brain didnt put two and two together and realise who they were.
I'm sure people think I'm rude but its genuine

Another here for typos Also using a word in the wrong context, or an incorrect pronunciation. It absolutely kills me.
I suffer too from dreadful second hand mortification - even witnessing someone else doing something embarrassing leaves me wanting to hide behind the sofa

We are bad for this also. Laura one time was chatting to a lad at an event for ages and eventually asked him his name, and he was forced to explain that they previously had both a social and a play meet. She wanted to crawl under a chair and die lol. |

I'm brutal for this and it can be really embarrassing. People I might have worked with for a while, and I'll meet them a year or two later and just go blank.
I've noticed more recently that it's mainly adults' names as well. I'd know the name of every child in my kids' groups, but struggle with the parents! A child's name just comes easier. It has to be a sign for the early onset of something!!?  |

Aw mate this happens to me all the time as well. I'm terrible at names, faces, no problem but name just escape me so I has to come up with a workaround. I just call them either Michael or Mary depending and just wait for them to correct me and then just come up with some silly excuse as to why I had Michael out Mary in my head and make my apologies and reassure them that if course I know their actual names.... gosh I'm so silly someone's  |

Unless they are called Michael and Mary then they never correct and you dont know if you're right or not
I actually assign people in my vanilla world who have the same real name of some fabbers I know so that the names match but it doesn't work with names like bigdickandtightfanny

Making the first move.
When anyone sings happy birthday to me.
When you're pushing and pulling at a door.
Receiving compliments. I just want to hide.
I'm always tripping over nothing and knocking things over. Clumsy AF
Honestly it's never-ending rollercoaster  |

I found association helps with remembering names , as in it could be a football team they follow or the name of their pet. If you can put a little bit of Connected information into your brain with the face and name it sticks a bit better.

"I don't really get embarrassed any more, but really feel for other people in cringey situations "
I’m the same and especially if they are around my children’s ages or where a much older person embarrasses a younger person. Sometimes that second hand embarrassment can trigger me to say something to relieve the situation. |

Having to introduce people to each other. Like This is 'such and such' they are a 'whatever'.
Its a social skill I've just never really grasped. It wouldnt be too bad if it was just me that was embarrassed by it, but if it's a clanger it could drag everyone into it

I was stopped in the street the other day and this nice woman started making small talk. I thought I might know her so I gave it a minute. Then she congratulated on my new baby and enquired about my dogs. I was committed.
My name is Mike now. |

All those random social interactions can embarrass me, I never know what to say. I’ve even been known to cross the street to avoid people that I kinda know but don’t really know at the same time. I’ve only so many how’yas in me per day |

I think part of the problem for me is that I remember the pictures and they're so nice I can't remember the faces
In fairness I've been admiring pictures for years and still yet to see some fabbers in real life |
