They also heard me say something pretty embarrassing under my breath. What do I do, I won't be able to look them in the eye ever again.

    An absolutely terrible messy room. Also the thing I said was "oh no, i'm pretty sure they all hate me" under my breath.

      That sounds recoverable. Having social anxiety isn't usually a fireable offense.

      Well play it off as a joke that your room was so fucked up and that was your reaction to them seeing it?

      Ya, to reiterate what others have said, that sounds like more social anxiety. Not to blame you, but I think it's really nothing and you're fine.

      I obviously don't know the dynamics of your work situation but I've been on calls with people who said MUCH more embarrassing shit, as well as stuff that was specifically disparaging to other people in the call, when they clearly thought they were muted and nothing happened. It's obviously embarrassing for you and I understand why you feel that way of course, but in my opinion the most likely outcome is that nothing will happen.

      then you really dont have to be so worried. That's honestly not going to upset anyone, might make them concerned FOR you even. Just normal social anxiety and most people have messy rooms., its just clean behind the camera.
