Publicly Shaming

the act of publicly exposing an individual's wrongdoing or social transgression to humiliate them, with the goal of punishing them or enforcing social norms. Historically, this included methods like stocks and tarring-and-feathering, but today it is widespread online through social media, where it can lead to severe consequences like harassment. While it can sometimes be intended to deter future offenses, it is widely considered harmful and can cause significant damage to an individual's reputation, self-esteem, and mental health.

ankle shame

Wendy wanted to talk yesterday after giving me head, but my ankle shame was making it hard to concentrate on the conversation... I finally just got up awkwardly and pulled my damn pants up.
