One thing I learnt as I grow up is that, you can’t control what people think about you. But you have a CHOICE:
1) to let their words paralyze you or
2) you live your life and take charge of it.
Every body needs time to heal but make sure you take the shortest time to recover. Life is too short to worry about what ppl think about you. Live it fully.

I know how u feel. People who are your real friends would let you know something if it affects you. If they hide it from you, at worse, it is because they are not enough as friends to care enough to let you know because of course they would know that it would be something you would to know. At best, they may not have told you because they dunno how to tell you. But, the latter is a lame excuse. Real friends will find some way of telling never mind how difficult it is to themselves (yes, is it more important the problem for themselves in working out how to tell you, or is the problem more of how you would feel when you eventually find out without their help?). Anyhow, I hope that the problem was not too embarassing to you. We all do silly things at some stage in our lives. Hopefully you will be able to slowly, with time not let it affect you. In a few weeks you will feel differently about it and able to face people you know without cringing. I know … I have been through it. So chin up. I’m just a follower of your blog who comes in every few months to see what you are doing. Have followed you for some years. Take care
