Sometimes it can be difficult for you to keep your face in an awkward situation. A sense of humor, resourcefulness and control over your emotions will help you not to lose dignity under adverse circumstances.
Instructions
Step 1
Don't focus on the embarrassing moment. Try to distract the interlocutor's attention from a sensitive topic or words that someone has inadvertently uttered. This is where you need composure. If you are confused, do not say the first thing that comes to mind.
Step 2
Respect other people's feelings so you don't hurt them. Since this has happened, be able to ask for forgiveness. If you have offended a person without even wanting to, find the strength to apologize immediately. This way you will get out of an awkward situation and will not make an enemy.
Step 3
Use your sense of humor to turn the misunderstanding into a joke. The ability to laugh at yourself earns respect from others and reveals you as a self-sufficient and self-confident person.
Step 4
Keep calm. Your panic will only draw other people's attention to your embarrassment. Be calm, and perhaps the misunderstanding will go unnoticed.
Step 5
Offer to eliminate the consequences of your distraction or inattention. If through a misunderstanding you ruined, for example, someone's thing, the most logical way out of an unpleasant situation would be to buy a replacement.
Step 6
Try to find a compromise between two fires. If you want to be diplomatic, by no means accept any of the parties in the dispute. Otherwise, you will only make the embarrassing situation worse.
Step 7
Don't make excuses when you're in an awkward situation. Maintain your dignity, otherwise you will cause pity in others. Try to calmly come up with a solution to the embarrassing question.
Step 8
Do not succumb to provocations and do not be fooled by weakness. So you will not allow yourself to be manipulated even at a difficult moment for you.
Step 9
Know how to fight back someone who deliberately tries to make you look unpleasant. Be prepared to defend your honor and personal interests.
Step 10
Be realistic about the scale of the disaster. The reasons for which you are very worried can be insignificant, negligible. Do not let events that do not affect either your present or your future spoil your mood.
