🗒️ Five tips to not feeling awkward or embarrassed easily:
1] Always live life with authenticity, sincerely devote yourself to pleasing Only Allah the Almighty, as a Muslim, instead of wanting to impress His servants occasionally. The more you aim to serve Only Allah Subhaanahu wa Ta'aala, the less likely you're affected by people's opinions and animosity.
2] Acknowledge the truth that you're not the only soul on earth who sometimes goes through supposedly "awkward" or "embarrassing" moments. Understand that if a person usually gets "embarrassed" with ease, it's because they're trying too hard to appear unrealistically "impressive" in front of certain individuals whom they put on a pedestal, which doesn't make sense because we weren't born to be completely "flawless" and "infallible". The more you remind yourself that it's okay to err and unintentionally look "silly" from time to time, since you're a human being who's eager to learn from your mistakes, the more you can't feel emotionally distraught by how people perceive you.
3] Regard every "awkward" and "embarrassing" situation as a beneficial opportunity to learn what you should do
Inn-sha-Allah next time and what you must avoid. Any lesson that you've learned or uncomfortable circumstance can be shared as a heads-up and warning with your loved ones.
4] Know that anybody who disdainfully laughs at you during a supposedly "awkward" or "embarrassing" moment is actually a very sad, morally incompetent and insecure individual. Don't allow that person's insecurities and sorrow to infect you to become as miserable as they are.
5] Confidently believe that even the people who ridicule you or who regard you as "ultra weird" may have also experienced at least two instances which can be described as "awkward" or "embarrassing" to some (e.g. maybe as a student they answered their teacher's questions incorrectly thrice in a row, they sat inside the wrong classroom, or they attempted to greet back a stranger who was busy talking to somebody else with AirPods on etc.) Why bother trying to seem "perfect" if they're similar to you regarding being imperfect.

📖 Abu Huraira RadhiAllahu 'anhu narrated: Allah's noble Messenger Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said, "The strong believer is more beloved to Allah than the weak believer, but there is goodness in both of them. Be eager for what benefits you, seek help from Allah, and do not be frustrated. If something befalls you, then do not say: 'If only I had done something else.' Rather say: "Allah has decreed what He wills." Verily, the phrase ‘if only’ opens the way for the work of shaytan."
