In what situations do I feel shame or embarrassment for someone else’s behavior?
Thinking about this one. I remember as a child, my Mom bought me some really slick corduroy jeans for either Christmas or my birthday. They didn't fit, they were very very much too small.
I felt embarrassment and shame, that she didn't know what size I wore. Not for ME, for HER.
I was five or younger.
I've always cringed at others doing shameful or embarrassing things.
I really don't understand why.
