On the other hand, things that don't embarrass others sometimes do embarrass me.

I guess I'm just the other way round. :)

that's what i am like. i get mortified about things that apparently are no big deal, but as anyone can tell i have a lack of embarrassment about other things. perhaps it is more like a lack of shame in my case.

also, like Kon i have almost-constant anxiety, which is a heck of a lot like pre-situational embarrassment.

I am embarrassed by things that other people aren't and not embarrassed by things that other people are. For example, when I get an injury, I get embarrassed about the fact that I am injured, regardless of how many people were around. I think this might be partly related to the fact that I don't like sympathy when I am physically hurt. I don't seem to mind it when I am emotionally hurt though.

I grew up with a very open family who isn't afraid to talk about bodily functions, ect. and in fact make jokes of it. I've come to understand that most people become alienated if I talk to much about that.....


ha, me too, about the jokes above. I've been told I have no shame, at least in this regard.
