  A person tells you not to do something but you insist on doing it. You promise him that you will do well if he gives you a chance. so he somehow reluctantly gives you the chance to do it. But now that you are actually doing it You find that what he said was true. The situation is really bad and its not what you imagine it to be How do I get out of this without humiliating myself

  Go back and apologise and acknowlege that what he said was true and seek his help. Then u can walk away with ur integrity intact... but ur pride shattered.
  
  That is the best possible way in my opinion.

  1. Solve the problem first
  2. Treat it as an experience
  3. Humbly apologize
  4. Learnt from the mistake

  i agree.
  
  people make mistakes, unless your friend is the "i told you so.." type, i think he'll understand.

  im in such a situation my self currently
  
  theres this class-related project, person A wants to take it up but the class doesnt seem so happy, so i stepped up and discussed about me taking it up, the class agreed.
  
  and so i took up the project( to do something for the class)with two other classmates who said they'd assist me. and so we did our proposals and did the survey and stuff.
  
  so things did not turn out well as time was running out(holidays.) and hence our project had to come to a stop.
  
  Now the new year is beginning(same class) but i realised from last year, that my two classmates arent willing in helping me out and the class doesnt much listen to me(i have to have their co-operation for this project.)
  
  So i decide to drop this project afterall, and hand it back to the person who wanted to do it at first next year.
  
  i intended to :
  
  1. to do an apology infront of the whole class, say sorry, tell them i couldn't do the project well and give a big bow.
  
  2. hand the project back to person A.
  
  But now person B, whom i've recently worked with for several projects(which turned out quite well) wanted to help me in the project.
  
  So i intend to:
  1 .Continue doing this project, but together with person B.
  
  i'd say an apology to the person/people involved is all u need. Though it'll be embarressing, but think about it, people will know u're not playing or fooling around but mean serious matter here.
  
  Good luck to you.
