“This is really dumb but I have a small head cold right now and I'm just super embarrassed by my runny nose to the point it makes me seem awkward and withdrawn. Also don't like blowing my nose in public for this reason. How do I be less embarrassed and more open when I have a cold? How do you deal with having a small cold?”

i usually stay out of public to not get others sick. youre just being embarrased about existing, but that happens sometimes. you could take medicine that helps with mucus and you could step out of the room to blow your nose. if you wear a mask you could say it's so other people dont catch your cold but it's to hide the fact your nose is running.
