Looking back over the years, can you think of a time in your life where u've felt embarassment or regret etc, and till this day still cringe or shiver about it?

A few things, but the worse one was when I once tried on a top in a clothes shop as a teenager, the top required no bra so I did my thing and tried it on - forgetting that I'd removed it and putting my own top back on. It must have been over half an hour later an old lady stopped me and told me I had a bra hooked to the outside back of my jumper! I nearly died on the spot and I still blush just thinking about it now!!

Oh god yes. When I was a stupid 17 yr old (many years ago) I told a slightly stuck up older lady to 'Shut up you stupid, miserable old bag'. The look on her face still occasionally comes back to me, and I feel truly mortified and embarrassed after all these years. I think if I saw her in the street today I'd hang my head in shame and avoid her! What is worse is that as I've gotten older I can truly appreciate what a lovely, educated, kind person she was, and what a stupid kid I was. Awful. I know its not the most terrible thing ever but I often think about it. So if you're out there and recognise this I'm truly truly sorry.

Hell yes !!!
Like the time in high school when I loaned my brother my car for a date and failed to check it for items left in the back seat. The next day I drove to school and circumstances came together just right and I got to offer a ride home to this guy that I had been just drooling over but could never get in the right situation to strike up a conversation and make my move. Now I had him in my car, time to strike. I suggested we go get a burger. He said OK. The plan was coming together at last. On the way I asked him to look for my sunglasses so he starts looking around in the car. He looks in the back seat. No sunglasses. Finally finds them down between the seats. Now he's looking at me strange and has almost quit talking to me. We have our burgers and I take him home. Later I find not one but 2 used condoms in plain sight on the back seat. I dont to this day know why my brother needed 2 or how he could be so careless to leave them on the seat. That was sooooo embarassing.
BTW.....I went right up to this guy the next day and explained everything. When he got finished laughing he asked me out.

I have some regrets and pain at times when remembering things in the past but i do not cringe and live if fear of what happened. Life goes on. I actually look at my present life now and am thankful for all i have learned from the past and am greatful for my much better life today with God in it! You can either live in the past with guilt and pain and be a victim to it or you can look at the past and be a survivor and let the past be the past and live and learn from it . We can have our past make us vow to be better people in spite of it all ot we can choose to let it make us bitter and hurt all the time and live as a victim to it. It is all about choices .

Yes, I was babysitting for my next door neighbours four/five years ago, the kids were playing up and I was getting really stressed out, when a woman turns up at the front door who's really annoyingly cheerful and bouncy, announcing that she has Ryan's (the baby boy) hat! So I was really rude/blunt to her and basically took the hat and shut the door.
That was it, or so I thought.
A year later, that woman turned out to be my future mother-in-law!!!!!!!! I don't think she remembered that it was me but I do and I've cringed over and over again!

part of human condition is that we are not perfect and make many mistakes along the way,what you must not do is give youself a guilt trip about what you did or did not do.You have to forgive yourself and move on.I cringe when i think about my daughter of 7 months ago partialy aputating her finger in a door..for weeks i had flash backs..horrid.Occasionaly i will have a violent dream about my mother beating me up as a child like she used to,but i am healing emontional wounds and we all have to..time is the only healer.
do not worry the vision will fade.

Yes, like the time I went to majorca (i was 17) and bet my bra that I could drink a scottish rugby team under the table. god only knows how many tequila slammers later i fell forward, lost the use of my arms and broke my nose.
Oh, and they took my bra!! B@stards!

Yes, I do. But I can't change the past - I can only try to make better decisions going forward.

yeah, but why waste time and energy on things that you can't change?
better to focus on the present and future.
