I agonize over every stupid thing I ever said/did/typed.

It's a curse.

Letting go is not accomplished by fighting the recurring thoughts. Greet them (hello old friend) and then open a window in your mind and let a puff of fresh mental air and a sigh blow them away. As many times as it happens, don't combat them, acknowledge them and let them go.

What's done is done. No point in crying over spilt milk. The hand of time, having writ, moves on.

Worry about the things you can change (you did by self-deleting something, and also you did by posting the OP). Don't worry about what you can't change (replies). Seek the wisdom to tell the two apart.

By making that important distinction, it is easier to let go. Practice simply by doing, as needed.

Yet time does make us forget

... but I am quite good at ghosting my mistakes.

I tried to stop making the goofs, but it didn't work.

...because there's way too much actual bad stuff out there to be concerned about.

But doing so would conceivably also remove any responses to your post. So even if you feel your post was embarrassment-inducing, I'm betting the people that responded to you don't feel the same way about their posts and would like them to remain. My .02.

especially you.

But please don't underestimate my abilities for the dumb

Like what?

You know the one I mean, Harker.

That one.

That one.

I forget what it was about.

It was pretty stupid!

Then…

I know, I've tried.

Please never forget that!

i quickly look around and find someone else’s post that is embarrassing and point to THAT post so no one notices my post.

in fact that’s what i’m doing now…can you guide me to the post you want everyone to not see?

Lucky for you I happen to have a working model for sale. Call me last Tuesday and we'll talk price.
