Embarrassment is a light temporary emotion that causes us to blush. Here's a well written link on how to overcome it. Shy people who empathize easily with others feel it more deeply.
One day hubby and I were hiking, back to our campsite and he had to pull up his support hose. That required dropping his pants and getting them pulled up from his thigh, and he didn't wear any underwear in those days.
"Don't do that here" I tell him, "Go off to the side of the road behind a bush."
"No one will see," he says, "there hasn't been a car all morning."
He drops his jeans, bends over in the road to get his stockings in hand.
and around the bend comes a loaded car of a family with kids, they had big O's with their mouths and big eyes and swiveled heads as they crawl slowly by.
===============================
For a smart person I am a bit of a dope, Years ago, I was talking to our priest and assistant priest at St. Mary's by the Sea Episcopal church. I was introduced to Canon Peabody.
"What an unusual first name I said. , Canon. but I know one at St. Peters too." They all break out in laughter.
Pretty funny.
=================================
I walked my kid home from preschool when he was four. I was having some pretty bad memories problems at that time.
"Hold on sweetie, we have to go back..." I said at the door.
Why mommy?
Well mommy drove the car there. ...
