embarrassment squick is a phenomena i have been feeling literally my entire life bUT I NEVER KNEW THERE WAS AN ACTUAL TERM FOR IT???
except second-hand embarrassment i guess, but it’s not quite the same
there’s being embarrassed for someone else and then there’s being unable to sit through shows like the office and parks and recreation even though you KNOW they’re good, funny shows that everyone references all the time and you want to understand buT YOU CAN’T WATCH IT WITHOUT WANTING TO RUN OUT OF THE ROOM SCREAMING OH GOD I CAN NOT AAAAHHH
ALL SITCOMS EVER. ALL OF THEM. 100%.
there was already a perfectly good german word for this! fremdschämen!
Oh yes, THIS is the true translation of “myötähäpeä”; Finnish has it too, we are very familiar with the feeling.
