The phenomenon of going to a party or large social event and finding that either you don't really know anyone and you feel uncomfortable enough to want to leave early or simply that people are coupling off an creating a 'six of them and one of you' effect.
However, to leave you feel obliged to announce the fact which you find embarrassing, as a result of your lack of social contribution to the event. Therefore you feel it requires less awkwardness to stay at an event you would rather get out of there and then.

That party was dreadful. It was all Steve and his Leicester Uni crew and if you weren't in the 'Scott Hall Three' massive you couldn't follow the thread of what they were going on about. I tried to contribute but ended up in a 2 hour embarrassment hole pretending to watch the late movie on Five while they reminisced about 'Carnage' on Leicester High Street in the mid Nineties.

If you are with a friend in the street, and they start dancing out of nowhere, then you will become contact embarrassment.

Committing an act that not only makes you look like a total douche bag, but may actually be a crime against humanity.
Dude 1: "Dude, did you see that 2001 CIA video finally released in 2010, where the CIA contributed to the death of innocent Americans, by suggesting the Peruvian Air Force intercept a small plane with American Missionaries inside?"
Dude 2: "Dude, that was the living definition of Criminal Embarrassment. I can't believe that a CIA liaison for a Spanish speaking country, in the War on Drugs, could only speak broken Spanish. The Peruvian liaison could speak better broken English."
Dude 1: Yeah, I'd say that was the most criminally embarrassing thing I've seen, if it weren't for the actual War on Drugs being 30 years of innocent lives ruined in foreign and domestic actions, when the USA can't even properly fund Honest Drug and Alcohol Education, and Effective Drug and Alcohol Treatment to stem the world's highest demand for Drugs.
Dude 2: You're right, the War on Drugs, as a whole, is the ultimate Criminal Embarrassment. When do you think the USA will learn that prohibition doesn't work?
Dude 1: I hope soon, because I'm tired of Trillions of Dollars of my tax dollars being used to fund a senseless war, when instead they could regulate AND bring in Billions of Dollars in tax revenue, and properly fund Drug and Alcohol Education and Treatment.
Dude 2: TOTALLY!

When you feel so embarrassed for someone else's actions that you feel the embarrassment for yourself as well.
Stefanie is singing loudly in Portuguese! I feel second hand embarrassment... I can't be in the same room right now.

Someone else embarrassing the shit out of themselves, so much that you get extremely embarrassed for them.

Third party embarrassment is similar to second hand embarrassment. However, the third party does not witness the embarrassing act. The second person tranfers the embarrassment to the third party via communication ie: phone,text,email or in person after the initial act of embarrassment has taken place.
Guy 1: While giving a speech during a meeting at work farts really loud
Guy 2: a co worker also in the meeting experiences second hand embarrassment for guy 1.
Guy 2: shortly after the meeting, tells another coworker what happened during his meeting who was not present.
Guy 3: experiences third party emabarrassment.
Please note:
For third party Embarrassment to happen, Second Hand Embarrassment must occur before hand.
