Do you feel uncomfortable when you see someone ;else being embarrassed? What’s most likely to make you squirm?
What makes me uncomfortable is seeing anyone think they have the right to attack someone, in public, for whatever reason.
I wouldn’t call the feeling I get, uncomfortable. It leans more toward anger than uncomfortable. As Americans we have rights. In my book, one right should most definitely be; the right not to be attacked in public unjustly.
I feel more uncomfortable for the person doing the attacking. Not only is what they are doing embarrassing, it is just not nice. The reason/cause of the attack doesn’t matter. It, flat-out, is not right!
Coming down off my ‘Nice’ high horse, I’ll admit there is something in public that makes me cringe and want to point something out to another person. I never do it, but I feel terrible for even thinking about it.
I’m embarrassed to start with, that today’s society has a named things like “muffin tops“, “whale tales”, “tramp stamps”, and “bro-pants”. It is just sad that our society thinks it is OK to dress the way they do out in public. Since when is it OK to wear your pj’s to the grocery store?
As a woman, when I see another woman or girl out in public dressed as if they should be wearing “Spanx” from head to toe makes me cringe.
I am uncomfortable being shown the top of someone’s rear when in public. Call me old-fashioned, I do not care! Whatever happened to having a little mystery in your life? Do you have to show all you goodies off, every time you are out in public?
Next time you think you are ready to leave the house, take a second look. Think about the people who will be looking at you once you leave your home. Have a little mercy, please!
I love this and I know exactly what you mean! I was sooo picky when my girls were growing up about what they could/should and couldn’t/shoulldn’t wear. Thankfully they understood that I wanted what was best for them. Our clothes really do reveal things about ourselves (hee hee).
When I saw the prompt, I could not resist. I’m not a small girl, but there is no way I’d be out in some of the things I see people dear today. I found out after I did this post, there is a dictionary with all these new terms in them. What a waste of a good book.
