downward spiral of shame

the self-humiliation and degradation of respect of an awkward individual in the course of a conversation with normal people due to the individual’s lack of communication skills and general social ineptitude

I think Cakes should stop while he is ahead and end his downward spiral of shame before his nerd jokes scare away the last remaining females at the party.

The Downward Spiral

A conceptual album and the second studio album released by Nine Inch Nails in May of 1994. It revolves around an unidentified man who basically goes on a "downward spiral" essentially, or path to eventual and imminent self-destruction.
It went quadruple platinum, and was deemed (I can't, for the life of me, remember who said this) "The bleakest platinum album probably ever released."

The Downward Spiral basically put Nine Inch Nails on the map in the 90s.

The Downward Spiral

A blantantly sexual, profane, beautiful Concept Album by Trent Reznor, aka, Nine Inch Nails. It might be the best CD by Trent Reznor.

The Downward Spiral is most likely my favorite CD by NIN.
