June 29, 2014 Prompt: Do you feel uncomfortable when you see someone being embarrassed? What makes you squirm the most?

This is from Charlie ~

I am thinking the prompt is again not forthcoming so I am going with Charlie’s initiative. I am feeling unfocused today so a prompt is necessary.

I would have to say that I do feel very uncomfortable when someone else is being embarrassed. I find I cannot even withstand the experience when my husband is going to confront someone in a store. I will walk away. I feel for the person, like I am taking on their experience.

What makes me squirm the most is probably someone up on a stage bombing their act – sure they put themselves out there, but if it does not go well my, compassion kicks in and I feel their pain.
