Friendship Embargo

A friendship embargo is an immediate ceasing of all exchange of friendly gestures, activities, and pleasantries with your near and dear friends. This is typically declared when your friends irritate you, annoy you, offend you or otherwise cause your mood to damper beyond the normal repair.
Francisco: "I declare friendship embargo!!!!"
Teddly: "Well, looks like Francisco declared friendship embargo on us. It's ok, it will end when he realizes he has no other friends."

Third Party Embarrassment

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.

Second-Hand Embarrassment

When you cringe while watching people embarrassing/publicly humiliating themselves, especially when they DON'T deserve it. People who suffer from this are generally empaths, or they may suffer from severe social anxiety.
"I tried to tell my friends that Dave couldn't dance, but they forced him to anyway. I got second-hand embarrassment in the worst way while watching him. By the time I pulled him out, his face was the deepest shade of red imaginable, and it didn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that he was trying not to cry from embarrassment. We haven't been on speaking terms with those "friends" since that incident."

Moral of the story: Don't force people to do things they're not comfortable with, especially under protest. It may be funny to you, but you've gotta think of other people.
