Definition
Abashment is the feeling of embarrassment or shame caused by something you've done or something that's been said to you. It's more intense than just feeling awkward; it's a sense of being humbled or mortified. Imagine accidentally tripping in front of your crush—that's abashment! It’s that sinking sensation when you realize you've made a social faux pas. Abashment highlights a loss of confidence or self-assurance due to perceived failure or exposure. It’s a temporary state, but can feel like an eternity.😖
