An unpleasant emotion experienced when we believe that we cannot perform coherently in a social situation.
Embarrassment is an unpleasant emotional state experienced upon having a socially or professionally unacceptable act or condition witnessed by or revealed to others. Usually some amount of loss of honor or dignity is involved, but how much and the type depends on the embarrassing situation.
"Embarrassment" is a song by English ska/pop band Madness. The song was written by Lee Thompson about a girl who had a mixed race child and people's ignorant attitude towards the situation. It spent 12 weeks on UK charts peaking at number 4.
