How can I learn how to deal with embarrassement? I'm a university student and, with digital lessons, professors want us to engage more. Today the assistant professor asked if anyone could explain the most recent lessons and I offered to do so and I got very anxious. I said everything perfectly except for the first part, because I hadn't attended the first lecture, but in the next lesson he had summarized everything(or so I thought). Anyway I wanted to disappear because a few of my most bitter colleagues were listening and I can imagine what everyone will say now. How can I deal wth this and accept this and move on? I want to cry.

-sad student here. I also wanted to add that it felt humiliating because he said "you're a third year student, you have to be more detailed when you explain something", always referring to that single part that I hadn't done in detail because I wasn't there for the lesson.

Hey there sad student,

Being a university student can definitely be tough no matter what year you may be in. It sounds like you are going really well with your studies though minus missing that lesson and so not being able to be as detailed as you needed to be when answering your professor and explaining things! I am not sure if your professor does this but when I was at university, our lecturers would record the lecture/ class and out it up online and especially for the students that were studying online. Is this something that you could do or talk to your professor about doing in future for students not being able to attend the odd lecture/ class and especially if you know you may not be able to make one in advance? Just an idea!

Another idea in case you may not be able to attend a lecture in future, is asking if your professor can supply you with some notes or at least bullet points on what was spoken about and/ or discussed. At least if you knew this information then you would know what you need to go over and study in your own time before your next class!

In terms of learning how to deal with embarrassment, this is a tough question as everyone deals with it differently and so what may work for one person may not work for another! It can though be helpful to keep in mind that from time to time everyone gets embarrassed and this is just a normal part of life. Try your best not to let it get the better of you though and try not to let it eat you up inside. All you can do in life is your very best and do what you can to know what you need to know for your classes beforehand. Life is never simple though and things will come up to make this impossible. This is OK though and normal, I mean that’s the whole point of university or even school in a way, you are learning about what you would like to do/ be in life and so sometimes we may make mistakes or may have an off day in class or not completely know or understand the information we need to, but we are learning and practising life skills and this is really important to try and remember.

In regards to what your professor said to you in regards to being a third year student and needing to go into more detail when explaining things, did he say this to you in class? I get and understand how humiliating this must have been if he did say this in front of everyone and signalled you out, but again, in life we will feel embarrassed or feel like we didn’t do something ‘good enough’ as expected at times, this is normal and is nothing to feel ashamed about, if anything it just allows you to sympathise with others when they are feeling this way and this will ultimately make you a better person in life!

I really hope that this has been helpful and please know that I am thinking of you and wish you all the best with not only your studies but in life in general!

Take care,

Lauren
