I know you are a young man, and things like embarrassments are very bothersome ( they are meant to be by satan) but start praying the Humility prayer and things that used to really get your goat will just roll off of your back. The humiliations will stop once the demons know they aren't effective anymore.
O Jesus! meek and humble of heart, Hear me.
From the desire of being esteemed, deliver me, Jesus.
From the desire of being loved…
From the desire of being extolled…
From the desire of being honored …
From the desire of being praised …
From the desire of being preferred to others…
From the desire of being consulted …
From the desire of being approved …
From the fear of being humiliated …
From the fear of being despised…
From the fear of suffering rebukes …
From the fear of being calumniated …
From the fear of being forgotten …
From the fear of being ridiculed …
From the fear of being wronged …
From the fear of being suspected …
That others may be loved more than I…Jesus, grant me the grace to desire it.
That others may be esteemed more than I …
That, in the opinion of the world, others may increase and I may decrease …
That others may be chosen and I set aside …
That others may be praised and I unnoticed …
That others may be preferred to me in everything..
That others may become holier than I, provided that I may become as holy as I should…
Amen.
I still don't like saying this prayer ( it really grates against my ego) after many years, .but I have noticed that many of the annoyances mentioned don't bother me at all anymore
