Read original publication

There is none. Embarrassment, guilt and shame are just games people play to pretend that one person is better than another. There is no other reason. Some people never feel embarrassed - it’s just a question of how strongly you buy into the narrative of other people’s judgment of you. It’s all mind games and it doesn’t relate in any way to your survival as a biological organism.
