I do that too. Sometimes I remember something really embarrassing and I just feel so stupid. But I've gotten pretty good about having a sense of humor about my clumsiness and awkwardness.
I mostly get low when I think about the times I got overly emotional and upset and drove people away. I try to tell myself that being sensitive is part of who I am, a good part. But it sure has seemed to scare a bunch of people off.
I guess if someone can't deal with these aspects about me, I should just think, "f*ck 'em." Of course, that's easier to say when you have someone who actually sticks around.
So where do you draw the line between self improvement and saying "This is just who I am, get over it?"
