If you survived middle school, you have already proven you can survive almost anything awkward.

You have already come through a stretch of years built almost perfectly to make anyone feel wrong: a changing body, shifting friendships, an audience for every mistake. Getting through that is not nothing, even though nobody marks it anywhere. Awkwardness is survivable, and the evidence sits in your own history. Whatever is uncomfortable now is not a new category of experience for you.

Next time something socially mortifying happens, remember you handled worse in a hallway at thirteen. Let the discomfort exist without treating it as an emergency. It usually lasts about the length of the room.
