    Did I just embarrass myself? (Probably, but let’s obsess over it for 12 hours.) 
    Welcome to the official handbook for people who replay every conversation they've ever had like it's a humiliating movie they didn’t consent to star in. 
    If you’ve ever: 
    ✔️ Rehearsed saying “here” before roll call. 
    ✔️ Changed grocery store lines to avoid small talk. 
    ✔️ Said “you too” when a waiter told you to enjoy your meal. 
    ✔️ Sent a text, reread it 27 times, and still panicked… 
    Congratulations! You may be entitled to financial compensation (just kidding, but you will find this book painfully relatable). 
    In Did I Just Embarrass Myself? (Probably, But Let’s Obsess Over It for 12 Hours), we’ll explore: 
    📌 The existential nightmare of casual goodbyes (“See you later”... but WILL you?). 
    📌 How to pretend you’re normal in a conversation (spoiler: you’re failing). 
    📌 The traumatic experience of picking up the phone. 
    📌 Why texting is just anxiety in digital form. 
    📌 The social death that comes when your joke lands flat in a group chat. 
    📌 How to leave a party without having to say goodbye 47 times. 
    This is not a self-help book. This is a documentation of your suffering, written by someone who also lies awake at night thinking about that one awkward thing they did in 2013. 
    You don’t need therapy. You need to read this book and laugh at how dysfunctional we all are.

And the dark young men both sought for it at once, and they met suddenly beneath the table, and soon they were speaking swift words to one another, and a horror and an impotence came over the Reason of each as she sat helpless at the back of the mind, and the heart of the orange laughed and the woman went on smiling; and Death, who was sitting at another table, tete-a-tete with an old man, rose and came over to listen to the quarrel.
