There is no need to feel embarrassed.  Using the passive
voice when it doesn't help is an imperfection, not sn error.
And there are exceptions where it is an improvement.

As you learn to get sensitive to use of the passive voice,
you'll notice the opportunities to avoid it, and your habits
of writing will improve.
