What's a moment in your life that's so awkward, you still cring at the thought of it?

I was in a group project and a group mate got my number and texted me. I didn't know who he was, nor did he clear up the situation, so I was like "I think you got the wrong number mate" in a joking way. I don't even say "mate" lol.

So I get to the group meeting and he was like "did you get my text?" and I said no, realizing how cringe-y I sounded through the text. Then he asked for my number so he could fix it and I refused, saying I don't give it to people I don't know (it was a lie, I was actually mortified and too embarrassed to admit it).

Then about 2 weeks later, another group member had to be contacted and I was corresponding with him through email. A girl said she had his number and I immediately pulled out my phone and asked what it was. I could feel the first guy's eyes burning through me, seeing through my previous lie, that I didn't hesitate to contact the second guy through phone when I was resistant on giving him my number but not guy #2. I still feel bad thinking about it...
