Don't care about it. Someone out there has probably done worse than you, and someone worse than them, and so on and so on. Chances are whatever you did isn't even present in the thoughts of whoever else witnessed that. Or even if they do remember, it's probably do minimal that they brush it off or bring it up as a lighthearted joke. You are your worst critic, so obviously you'd dramatize something as being worse off than it actually was. Life is full of mistakes friend, picking yourself up and continuing to move forward from them is what makes you stronger.

I usually divert it by thinking about the memory metaphysically. So don't think about the details or the act literally, but instead use it to think about the bigger picture. Usually that's easier to handle in the moment than the awkwardness of the act itself.

Not alone, I have a few select memories that come back to haunt me every once in a while.

I only regret not having the courage to act on my instincts, which I know now were 100% correct.

Everyone has those toughts.

One thing I've noticed that has worked is instead of trying to repress the memory I'd instead try to evoke it as lucid as possible, it is painful but it stops bothering me afterwards... however the next time I just get a different memory instead so it might not be worth it, then again some mememories are more painful than others so yeah.

Also realize that you have witnessed dumb shit done in front of you yet you can't remember most of it, it also works the other way around.
