being humiliated.
Humiliation (also called
stultification) is the abasement of pride, which creates
mortification or leads to a state of being humbled or
reduced to lowliness or submission. It can be brought
about through bullying, intimidation, physical or mental
mistreatment or trickery, or by embarrassment if a person
is revealed to have committed a socially or legally unacceptable
act. Whereas humility can be sought alone as a means to
de-emphasise the ego, humiliation must involve other person(s),
though not necessarily directly or willingly. Acting to
humiliate yourself may be linked to a personal belief
(as with mortification of the flesh, with some religions),
or it can be part of erotic humiliation where the belittling
activity provides emotional and/or sexual arousal or heightened
sensation... |
