[quote=Anonymous]I would try normalizing it/educating her--being exquisitely sensitive to embarrassment is a painful, unpleasant thing that happens to people, particularly teenagers, sometimes/tell her about times you were young had heightened sense of embarrassment, that you remember it was no fun. That lets her start to see that the unpleasant sensations are not necessarily an accurate representation of how "serious" her gaffe was and also that other people have gone through this/she likely won't be in embarrassment mode forever.
