a lot of good points are made here and the experience is pretty universal.
however, I do not think we should be focused too much on what people will think of us, accept the fact that none of us are perfect and we all fuck up in major ways that will make most of our relatives want to disown us.
the important question is: how can we take what we learned and make the world a better place for the next person to come along.
