This happened today and I’m honestly mortified.

I took what I thought was a cute selfie with my dog and uploaded it to my Instagram story without looking closely enough. Somehow, half my nipple was visible in the bottom left corner of the photo and I had absolutely no idea.

The worst part is that I have Instagram notifications turned off, so even if someone messaged me to tell me, I never saw it. The story stayed up for around 12 hours before I finally realized and deleted it.

By then it was too late. Around 100 people had viewed it, including some of my husband’s friends. They apparently told him about it before I even knew what had happened. He’s really upset and I feel awful because I never meant for any of this to happen. It was a complete accident, but I still feel like I’ve embarrassed both of us.

When I found out, I had a full-blown anxiety attack. I’ve deactivated my Instagram because I’m so embarrassed that I don’t even want to log back in. Right now I genuinely want the ground to swallow me whole.

Has anyone else ever done something this embarrassing? Please tell me I’m not the only person who’s accidentally posted something they really, really shouldn’t have.

Edit: my husband just came back from his holiday, i picked him up and he was pretty sympathetic and was comforting me, i think i expected the worse as he was initially pissed off when he first saw it but when he came to think about it, its just nipples…

TL;DR: Accidentally posted a selfie to my Instagram story with half my nipple visible in the corner. It stayed up for 12 hours, around 100 people saw it, including my husband’s friends, and I only found out after they told him. I’m absolutely mortified and deactivated my Instagram.
