Made a fool of myself after congratulating someone on a significant life event, to which they politely reminded me that not only did I already congratulate them a couple of weeks ago, but I got certain key details about this event quite wrong. And you know what: the world didn’t end. Other than feeling a little silly, I left the encounter just fine (it helps that they were super nice about this faux pas). So I’m noting this to myself for next time I’m in a situation where I’m too shy to say anything to anyone.
