“Fuck off, I’m Trying to Sleep”: Living With, and Embodying Embarrassment
Abstract
This paper is situated within discourses of phenomenology and philosophies of embodiment. I conceptualize embarrassment as trauma to open up a discussion about ways of coping with personal embarrassment. I hope to share a framework for addressing and navigating instances of embarrassment without forgetting the associated trauma and hurt in the process.
