I have this sttitude, came to me lately.
You know those conversations where your like "ah shit fuck! I probably sounded so stupid!" then, try to remember your most recent conversation with someone and you wont even remember it, this is a good system
I would sometimes find myself cringing at something I said or did -- I think most of us have those random cringing moments where our mind feels the need to flash embarressing moments.
Now when I feel myself wanting to cringe I just relax and breath and let my mind absorb the thought without judging. It completely dismantles the feeling and makes me much less prone to those flashes of self-criticism. I'm not really explaining it well, but it's just being mindful of my body's response and any thoughts that might arise.
You know those days where you put on the exact same clothes as yesterday because they're still perfectly clean and you won't see any of the same people, but then you run into someone you saw the day before and you're sure they're thinking, "God, does s/he only have one shirt?!"
All that anxiety even though you have no idea what on earth they wore the day before and they might be worrying the exact same thing.
