shamebaiting

The act of stating or doing something in the hopes that it will bring shame or mockery from others, especially from friends or otherwise close companions.

Shamebaiting is a word that roots from the term ragebaiting, where ragebaiting is intended to bait one into anger, shamebaiting is intended to bait one into disappointment.

One can shamebait by attempting to get into a community specific hall of shame, and thus getting called out for doing so.
