You may feel warmth rise to your face, look down, or avoid eye contact. This feeling occurs when you believe others see you in a way you didn’t intend. Social scientists find embarrassment may have evolved to repair trust by signaling awareness of social norms.

A fresh, cool wave, so why am I flushed
and not washed?"
