    You learn from the mistake & do your best to move on. Mistakes happen to the best of us. Don't let it destroy you. if it involves someone don't let him/her have that power over you. i'm sure ti wasn't even your fault. Have the confidence in yourself that u will recover from this stronger than ever. Your true friends will be there for u & be understanding. I wish u the best of luck. hope u feel better soon.

    You laugh it off the best you can, keep your head up, and life goes on (; don't dwell on what happened in the past. If you hurt someone or insulted them then just be kind and work on mending relationships if that needs to be done. Yeah you'll still feel stupid for awhile i guess but let it go (;

    Accept that I can't change whatever is done, make any apologies or restitution that may be necessary and learn a lesson. If it's just that I did something silly I laugh at myself and go on!

    Just accept it and laugh at it. It's all right to laugh at oneself sometimes.It reduces excessive ego build up.
