This feels to me like when you're a teenager and your parents try to be cool around your friends but it only makes you more embarrassed and want nothing to do with them.
- dcsommer 10y agoThere's a great German word for this exact feeling: fremdschämen.
- mastermindxs 10y agoIs that pronounced "friend shaming"?
- dcsommer 10y agoFremd actually means foreign, referring to the external source of the shame (schämen).
- kafkaesq 10y agoˈfʀɛmtˌʃɛːmən, or if you will: "FREMT-shay-men". (You need to gurgle a bit, or at least hint at gurgling, when doing the 'R', now). However you pronounce it -- I find it hard to have any kind of empathy at all for recruiters (internal or external), and hence, can't quite imagine myself "feeling a sense of shame for them in their place" (per the generic translation).
