Embarrassing scenes in movies make you-?

[Lunalicious 223]

For some odd reason, whenever I'm watching an embarrassing scene or Youtube video, I feel as if I can't watch it. Such as a horrible America's Got Talent audition, I'll watch about a couple seconds into the embarrassing scene and just go to a different site. This is odd, anyone else do this?

[Dr.RedundantPh.D 60]

You feel it too? I thought I was the only one... But yes, I know exactly what you mean. I really shouldn't be so excited that someone else feels it too.

I do that too. If I'm watching a movie or tv show and I know something embarrassing is about to happen to someone I have a sudden impulse to change the channel even if I'm watching with a group. I even walk away from from a situation in real life if I know someone is about to do something embarrassing. It might just have to do with having a lot of empathy for other people and feeling their embarrassment or something. Just a guess though lol I don't know much about psychology

i don't get that all the time, i love the bad auditions i'm sorry, i couldn't watch shows if everyone was a fantastic performer. So that's why i especially like simon cowell in the xfactor, he is just so...epic.

All the time. Ranges from cringing and looking away to not watching anymore. I'm the only one I know who does this, so it's nice to see that others do.

I feel embarrased for them! It´s not just about the movies. When I see embarrasing photos of facebook or when is when acting embarrasing in front of me and there´s also someone else, I feel embarrased for them. But about contests like America´s got talent, if it´s really funny, I won´t feel embarrased, more like dying of laughter.

just an example...

I really don't feel embarrassment during those awkward moments but that's something that you kind of learn. No, I kind of enjoy the reaction of the people around me, if anything.

[Abstract 831]

I feel like this thread may be a milestone for many; I too never knew others felt that way. I always get this, almost ticklish feeling in my chest when such things happen/are about to happen, and it's hard to make myself watch.

[Heart's Desire 181]

I've always been that way. Usually if I am watching something and I know someone is about to do something embarrassing I will cover my face. Sometimes I peek, though.

 

Embarrassing things are just hard to watch because I am so familiar with that feeling.

[Dice The Titanic Brony 68]

I usually bury my face in my hands and try to block it out.

I get weird looks a lot......

I often feel sorry for whomever is making a fool of themselves.

[Dr.RedundantPh.D 60]

I didn't really expect this many people to feel the same way, to be honest. Guess im not as weird anymore.

[Chill Mists (Chilly) 801]

I used to be like that, nowadays, not so much. I used to not be able to look when I was younger and get embarrassed, but now I don't really feel anything.

[Miss Light Diamond 2,801]

It depends on how bad it is if someone is hurt than I hate it, if someone is really embarrassed I feel bad but if its a small joke that isn't bad than yea I may laugh but it really depends.

[Cookie Feather 490]

When something's so incredibly awkward on a video or movie, I just...I just can't watch it, I cringe for some reason. >:

Maybe 'cause it reminds me of me. D8

It feels so awkward... :|

 

I keep asking myself "WHY IS HE DOING THAT?! That should have never happen D:" but when I'm watching it with someone else, I just cruelly laugh at it...

[VioletLinked 100]

Sometimes when I watch a real exciting part in a movie My hands and legs want to flail around...

No idea why, It's just nerves or something I guess.

[TheFabulousPony 102]

I know exactly how you feel!! I feel embarrassed for myself having to watch stuff like that hahaha I just leave

[~Chaos~ 3,966]

This feeling, I know it! I wouldn't of thought that anyone else felt this haha, it's wierd, but now I know I'm not the only one.

[KTP Pretorius 16]

Well, i guess that i feel emberressed. A bit sick as well, in some scenes. Like i don't want to watch it.

[Dusty Soul 2,611]

When that happens I cover my eye's and try not to watch it. I thought I was the only one go figure there are a lot more.

[XUNUSEDXXX 3,459]

If it's really funny, then usually I'll stay, but if it's like cruel embarrasment, then I'll definitely leave.

[PonyPassions 32]

The same thing happens to me too! Especially when i'm watching a scary movie i just cant bare to watch. Sorrt i kinda went off topic there.

I just cover my eyes and leave a small opening, as if that's gonna make a difference haha. Btw what happens in horror movies that are necessarily "embarrassing" rather than just plain horrible?

I Really don't know i kinda went off of topic there.

[Retro*Derpy 3,085]

I defiantly feel the need to look away when someone is doing something embarrassing. I guess its because if i was doing something embarrassing, i would want other people to look away so i just do that.
