I don't know what the point of this thread is. period. Now on to 1,2,3- if you feel embarrassed watching someone else's behavior, that appears to be some sort of odd empathy response. You would be embarrassed in that situation, hence you are embarrassed watching that situation. What you said was "It has been embarrassing to watch your response to his flatteries". One can only assume it has been embarrassing for you, because who else could you be speaking for, as a "watcher"? Now it was manipulative of you to mention this feeling of embarrassment. If you weren't feeling embarrassment and the whole use of the word embarrassment in the context of watching was false, and use merely for effect, then you were not being truthful and you were being manipulative. I've no idea which scenario is accurate. I will have to think about whether I want to share with you my insights into your character. Knowledge is power, and power is fun.
