Beating yourself up is not helpful. Admit an embarrassing mistake and try to do better. Just because you messed up doesn't mean you should wallow in shame. It may take time to regain someone's trust, so be patient. When you slip up, remember you are human. Instead of diving into a shame spiral, remain calm. Think of a time when someone was kind and compassionate to you. Duplicate this behaviour. When you're good to yourself, others will follow suit.
