Escape from shame or true embarrassment?

When asking what constitutes the experience of authentic embarrassment, I come across various strategies that have little to do with real embarrassment. They seem to serve primarily to escape it by preventing or even denying the experience of shame.
In that genuine embarrassment is able to make us aware of both the possibility of shame and the power of affirming one's own being, the experience of genuine embarrassment reveals a means of emancipating oneself from that which seeks to keep people down through the threat of shame - both from the outside and in a person's relationship to himself.
I hope you enjoy listening to it!
