do you feel embarrassment?

Post Reply New Topic

I feel embarrassment intensely - when it's warranted, and it's one of the worst feelings I know. I don't know how to describe it.

I relive embarrassing moments a lot after they occur, at least for a little while. Always with the thought "I wish I hadn't done that; I wish that hadn't happened."

i have never felt embarrassed or humiliated. i think it is because i have no pride. i could not care less what other brains interpret (from within their skulls) what i am. i am polite to a sufficient degree, i am courteous to a sufficient degree, and i am quite efficient in my execution of my affairs at the shops (my only form of social interaction), so i think i am considered acceptable.
i am eccentric however, and i think that the people who shine their acceptance through their surprise at my manner are far more valuable than people that cringe in their one sided reactions to what they may imagine that others may think of me in order to formulate how they think i am.
