Humiliation
Family: Threat and vulnerability
How it differs from similar states
Injustice from others; heat and the urge for revenge.
How this can feel in the body
Heat in your face and chest, a feeling of tightness—along with the urge to disappear or fight back.
It usually comes up when
Public belittlement; disrespect from another person.
What this might be pointing to
Signal that your dignity has been violated by someone else; may trigger a desire for revenge.
What you can do with this
Give yourself time before reacting—revenge usually deepens the pain when you're feeling humiliated. Ask yourself: Whose judgment is this, and is it actually true about me?
Where the name comes from
Humiliation is usually social—it tends to arise when another person violates your dignity, though you can also do it to yourself.
