The cringe... It burns us!
Original YouTube video from Jaime French:
After watching this video, it's nice to know I'm not the only one who experiences physically painful second-hand embarrassment. But I'm an adult and can't carry an “awkward pillow" around like a toddler with a binkie while I'm cleaning teeth or having a weird conversation with the check-out person in the grocery store.
Do any of you experience extreme second-hand embarrassment? How do you handle it? Kind answers only, please. I'm well aware that I'm a —tism blessed woman behaving like a little kid hiding behind their mother's knees when their goofy papaw comes over to visit. I need better coping mechanisms, not meanness—although gentle teasing is fair. My behavior is entirely ridiculous.
