Question

I'm feeling really embarrassed about a situation that happened when I went to the medical store to buy condoms. There were so many people around, and when I finally got the nerve to ask for them, everyone started laughing, and now I'm really nervous about trying again. How can I handle this better next time without feeling so anxious?

To avoid embarrassment, you can simply walk up to the pharmacist or store staff and say: "Excuse me, may I have a packet of condoms, please ?" or "Can you show me the condom section?" or "I need a packet of [specific brand name] condoms"; if you're still uncomfortable, consider buying online
