The Uninvited Visitor
Vicarious embarrassment (also known as secondhand, empathetic, or third-party embarrassment) is the feeling of embarrassment from observing the embarrassing actions of another person. Unlike general embarrassment, vicarious embarrassment is not caused by participating in an embarrassing event, but instead by witnessing (verbally and/or visually) another person experience an embarrassing event.

Dear Fleur
As much as it hurts that my hands will not be the one that encapsulates yours tonight. That my lips will not be the taste that you want tonight. That I can no longer rock you to sleep or kiss you goodnight. That my embrace will no longer be as satisfactory to you as a warm bowl of soup on a cold winter evening. That my presence no longer brings happiness to your delicately beautiful face. That I can no longer run my hands through your silky hair.

Vocal+ — The Product
On a very nice sunny Sunday afternoon, I was scrolling on Instagram, as you do. It was 6 months after my graduation with a masters in filmmaking, a decision I was totally regretting after changing into that from a bachelors in chemical engineering. I was unable to get a job in either. The majority of recruiters found it so hard to understand where engineering and film meet, there were barely any transferable skills and I was starting to doubt my abilities and question if there are enough opportunities to make money in the creative industry. There’s also the fact that the pandemic had stopped my film internship 1 week in, so the chances of being hired after my degree were non-existent.
