Never embarrassed, only laying the groundwork for future plays. It's only embarrassing if you get caught every time.

Not really, I just usually try to re-evaluate what i just did, and spot what i did wrong to prevent it in future.

Not at all. Bluffing is a part of this game. I always say that you can't win a tournament without bluffing.

If my bluff fails, I feel disappointed but not embarrassed. But if my bluff is successful, I feel joy and enthusiastic feelings!))

I dont get embarrassed, at all if i get caught bluffing. I just see that it is a part of the game. I really wish i knew how to bluff. Also if you bluff , it has to be at the right time. Some players bluff, all the time and show cards. Then the next time you are in a hand , with them you call and get head handed to them. I havent ever really tried to bluff, only cause a couple of times i tried i got caught. So for myself i dont like bluffing.

I don't get embarrassed for bluffing, sometimes when I pull of a ridiculous bluff like playing the board I would show the cards just to mess with other players to set them up for when I do get a hand.

Though I do fall into the trap sometimes when someone re-raises my semi-bluffs and my pride tells me to keep going...

No, maybe if I was caught playing badly but not for bluffing. And things like semi-bluffs where you still have a lot of equity are standard.

Getting called while bluffing is always an option and I calculate that into my decision whether or not to bluff. I try to only bluff when it has a high likely hood of working, but I do always feel a little silly when I'm caught.

Bluffing its part of the game, so don't be. If you get caught bluffing it can be used to create a strategy that may serve latter in game. For example: Time to time in MTTs i play four or five hand with small amounts bluffing and i always get caught.
This will be enough to categorize me as bluffer and villains will tend to call me often in hands after that.
Here i change the way of play only with premium hands and play them as bluffs and mostly i fish big.
Good luck!

I feel exposed and at the same time it always helps. because when you have a good hand and you bet they will think that it is a bluff and sometimes they end up paying more

I feel very embarrassed when they catch me bluffing, but that rarely happens, Because I'm not one to bluff...

not at all, its part of the game, and actually, if someone thinks you are bluffing often, you can take a lot of chips when you have a strong hand

I'm not ashamed to get caught bluffing. It's natural to bluff any of the plays. I try not to create a bluff routine. I try to vary depending on the bluff and the actual plays. But I make small bluffs and most of the time when I have more chips than my opponent.
