Advice when feeling down

[K Reidy]

So... Tonight a friend of mine performed and I was a guest performer... I had a verse and hook to do for a song we haven't recorded/practiced before and it was a last minute thing...

Long story short, he pulled me up on stage early in the show, and I fell infront of everyone, it was extremely embarassing... then to top it off i fucked up on part of my verse and freestyle about four-eight bars (not really sure as it was all a blur) and then picked my verse back up towards the end.

Anyways... I just feel super shitty about the night overall and was wonder what do you guys do when you feel down about shit that gets you down? What do you guys do to help pick yourselves back up?

Thanks

be mature about it, confront it, adapt, improve, take it day to day, write a song, enjoy about it, joke about it, experience, laugh, enjoy

Rofl that sucks balls man.

Next time on stage just joke about what happened last time, with confidence.

Why would your friend pull you on stage for shit that aint been practiced

If you can laugh about it, you'll get over it quicker. Jot down a few bars & make fun of it. Then like others said, practice, improve, and learn from the experience. It can only make you better!

I hate to repeat what everybody else is saying, but I also find joking about it really helps.

When I was younger, I was quite self-concious, and used to get really embarrassed practically all the time and everything. I can't remember exactly what happened, but I think one day I stopped and thought that I need to at least pretend I'm not embarrassed to other people, because I was finding people were taking advantage of it, and making fun of me for the things I got embarrassed about. So basically, I started just "laughing things off" so to speak.

I found it got to the stage probably a few years later where I genuinely wouldn't get embarrassed about things anymore. And people would never tease me about "embarrassing" things I did anymore, because I'd always make the jokes first, before they could, so I guess people poked fun at me less because they knew I just wouldn't care.

That's really bad what happened to you though man. Just hopefully you can look back on it in the future and laugh at it, rather than still be embarrassed. Another thing people do is just try and wipe it from their memory as soon as possible, although this can be difficult in some situations, like if people keep reminding you of it again and again.

Yeah I know exactly what you mean about laughing things off, I always do the same thing but this was like the one that I couldn't help. I laughed it off at first... and I felt super shitty about it last night but I woke up today feeling a lot better overall (especially from reading some of the advice on here)

I mean, I once had my jeans rip right on the groin region of my pants during senior year... and during the first minute of it I was in complete shock and completely embarrassed, but after the initial happening of it, it became so funny to me and I joked about it the rest of the day (after I got new pants on of course)

Thanks again everyone
