How to live down embarrassment?

[FustratedFudgecake]

Yesterday, I had an emotional outburst in front of everyone at work. My friend was talking with me about something I had secretly been dealing with myself and I guess all the repressed and bottled up anxiety just exploded. I cried my eyes out for about an hour in front of everyone. People were very nice and gave me hugs and stuff but now everyone knows all about my anxiety, low self confidence and body dysmorphia. I feel vulnerable and like I no longer have any self defence as well as extremely embarrassed because I got carried away with telling people how I felt.
That was the first time I've cried in front of someone my entire life and actually told people how I felt inside. My own mother doesn't know I feel this bad. I've always dealt with things on my own and kept up appearances.

I don't know I can face everyone again.

Learn from this and don't let your stress and anxiety build up to the bursting point. Plus it's bad for your health mentally and physically to bottle stuff like that up.

Trust me it's not as bad as you think it will be. I'm sure everyone in that office understands what it feels like to be at that level of stress. So I don't think they will judge you for it because it happens to majority of people. Try to act normal and if you feel bad about it then apologize to people for it. When you do that I think you would be surprised at how understanding they will be about it.

Recently, I Found my own self Dealing With... Something Similar but Not quite the Same. However, I can Relate.
I won't go into anything here, dear, however, I learned that with a few days of Time being the Best from the Rest and some Alone Time, in my own Wise Way, it just disappears with a lot of Self Control on your own. Time is a Great Healer and Dealer.
I had no sort of "Explosion" of any Kind, it Was More in the 'Way' of others' Implosion to me that I had to Deal with And... Did.
Good luck and Let Time pass this By with no more Cry. xx

you can face everyone again, dont worry, its your anxiety that's making you think that you can't face everyone again, but you can. and im sure the people who watched you cry they would be very supportive and caring towards you

You're 26 years old dude.. shouldn't being crying in public like that unless there was a death in the family etc.. Think you need to talk to a professional.

You'll be suprised how many times emotional outburst happen. And its okay usually the next day everyone forgets about it or there extremely friendly and want to know how your holding up. Though you should talk to your mom or your counsler about how your feeling. You shouldn't have to deal with this alone. its your anxiety thats makimg a situation seem worse. So talk to someone, once you do your feel much better. Hope you feel better

It's ok. It happened to everyone at one point or another. Just pretend it never happened
