Confidence shaken, then stirred with a laugh.
You felt great. Confident. Mid-conversation, mid-smile, mid-charm. Then someone glances… oddly. Or worse, you catch your reflection. There it is ketchup, frosting, something leafy. Right on your lip, or chin, or cheek. You’ve been *talking* like this. Maybe for minutes. Maybe for hours. Suddenly, you rethink every interaction. But here’s the truth: everyone’s been there. The sooner you own it, the quicker the laugh kicks in.
