Aftercringe

Considered a mild form of PTSD, aftercringe is the intense feeling of regret and embarrassment one feels in the aftermath of performing a cringe-worthy act (such as dancing with colleagues at a work function). The onset of aftercringe may occur at at time after the event, in some cases, this may be months or years.
