Humiliation
Shame imposed from outside by another's action — involuntary, public, and other-caused, often carrying anger at the humiliator alongside the shame.
How it shows up
Humiliation happens when someone else lowers us in front of others: being mocked publicly, demeaned by a superior, exposed online. It often brings intense heat, a wish to disappear, and anger at the person responsible. It can leave a long mark and is associated in some research with later conflict or withdrawal. What separates it from shame is that it is imposed from outside, involuntary and other-caused.
How it differs from Shame
Shame can arise from one's own judgment of oneself; humiliation is imposed by another's action, publicly and involuntarily.
Notice
If humiliation is remembered, notice whether the anger in it points toward the person responsible or turns back toward yourself.
Where it is felt
Felt most in the face, chest and stomach.
