Feeling humiliated?
The agonizing combination of shame and anger when we're degraded, especially publicly. Humiliation attacks our dignity and social standing.
The unmet need
Restoration of dignity; acknowledgment that the humiliation was wrong; revenge or repair of our public image.
A question to sit with
Can I separate my inherent worth from this moment of humiliation? What action would restore my dignity in my own eyes?
What to do right now
Remember: one moment of humiliation does not define your worth. Ground yourself in your values. If public repair is needed, make it. Otherwise, focus on what YOU know to be true about yourself. Seek compassionate witnesses who see your dignity.
