25
Said 'you too' to a waiter at 19 and my face still burns when I think about it
When I was 19 I said 'you too' when a waiter told me to enjoy my meal, and I walked out of that diner in Kalamazoo feeling like I needed a new identity. Back then I would replay stuff like that in my head for days, lying in bed at night just cringing over every weird thing I said that week. These days I brush off awkward stuff in about ten minutes because I have said way dumber things since, like calling my kid's teacher 'mom' at parent night last year. I think the change hit around 25, when I started noticing nobody else remembers your embarrassing moments because they are too busy replaying their own. Now I feel bad for 19 year old me instead of wanting to disappear, honestly. The weird part is the cringe never fully goes away, it just gets shorter and funnier. What is the one old awkward moment that still pops into your head out of nowhere?
