Embarrassment is a condition of self punishment in regards to a programmed belief that one must adhere to the standards of acceptance from others. If I make my own rules, I do not suffer embarrassment, regardless of what I do. Case in point, truly not caring what anyone else thinks, I could dress in drag, say, and go to the mall, and still laugh about it. Not that I am willing to do that, but the point is, embarrassment is a response we give as a form of self punishment for expectations we have about what others expect from us. It can be disconnected from, and even destroyed.
I see no reason to need or want embarrassment.
