How do you feel when someone is being humiliated right in front of you?

i agree with you that no one has the right to humiliate anyone. but if i were to witness someone being humiliated in front of me, i think i could not help myself to talk to the person whose doing the humiliation to, or if not i would have walked out to save the person for being humiliated more, because seeing someone with this situation will add up to the humiliation.

Shouldn't we be asking LisaHW's opinion on this? She tends to be good in these areas. Im serious! Is that strick drawing your work? BWAHAHAHA...ooops, sorry for humiliating you in front of all these wonderful people.

well if a person is being humiliated in front of me and he doesnt deserve to be humiliated then i would go and take the person aside...away from the person who is humiliating him and make the whole situation stop.... if i find out that the person who was supposedly humiliating this person would really want to sort things out then i would let the two of them make their own decisions and get away from the scene.... but if the person who was being humiliated doesnt want any compromise and so doesnt teh one who was humiliating the guy then ill seperate both of them and tell them to go their own ways and tell them to not sort it out in public but to do it in the privacy of their own home.....

To humiliate a person is bad but to do it in front of somebody is like stamping over the persons self respect. I hate it when people humiliate others without a thought for that persons perstige or respect. There are ways and ways how things can be sorted out. I think, if I am unable to do anything for that person, I'll walk out of that room, and if its the boss doing the humiliation and I cant even do that, then Id meet that person afterwards and give him a pep talk, just to make him feel better. After all we are human beings first and last.

I hate it too. I can't stand how rude some people are. I was in a situation one time where someone was being humiliated. I was in a grocery store check out line. This man in front of me was clearly homeless & poor. his clothes were dirty & he was buying 1 loaf of bread. The woman checking him out was saying rude things like 'man something stinks' & after she checked him out it was my turn & before she'd ring up any my stuff she grabed some sanitizing whipes & was whiping her hands & was saying loudly enough for that man to hear her things like 'some people are so disgusting they need to take baths, so gross' Man i was so mad...i was telling that woman you know some people don't have a nice home to go to to get cleaned up, they don't have the money & with the failing economy it won't get any better. i tried hurrying outside after i made my purchase i was going to give that the things that i bought & offer him a ride somewhere but he was gone. I don't know where he went so fast unless he had a car ride. I felt so sorry for him. i really did.

Well I have seen a lot of scenario like that. I feel bad, really bad. Usually I stare at that person, I feel like I wanna stop that person, and tell that person it's to much. I wanna tell that person that are you happy now. Usually people who humiliates afterward they feel bad also. When it's a friend of mine humiliates someone, I'll just talk to him or her after wards. I'll speak what is inside my mind for what he she did. I'll tell him her I hope that will be the last time you will do that. That hurts dude! Have a nice day to you my friend!

I completely agree with you, modstar. I hate it too. I feel terrible for the person who is being humiliated. It isn't right to humiliate people. It's sad that some people can do such a thing to other human beings.

I feel sad for the person humiliated especially if it is over a small matter. I had several experiences of being humiliated in public over something done by many others. That is why I can understand and symphatise with the victim. Apart from the humiliation there is also the long term effect(s) that should be looked at. In my case my brain simply switched itself off whenever I met the persons involved. I do not hold any grudges against them but as lecturers they should have known better. all the best, rosdimy

I would hate to have someone be humiliated in front of me and for that fact in front of a large amount of people or in front of people period. I hate to when I get humiliated in front of people as well. I would be so embarrassed for them.

I will feel sad for that person. I think no one have the rights to treat someone that way and no one should be treated that way. We must respect each other in order to receive respects in return. In the eyes of God everybody is the same no difference, no great one and no poor one. Everybody are equal..

I don't like it at all and if I can do anything to stop it I will. I know that there are people who can only feel good about themselves if they are putting someone else down. I avoid these types of people whenever I can.

I agree. One time I saw this woman working at the post office being yelled at by a customer. The woman was asking him if the box she was pointing at the wall was the box he wanted. He went "Do you really think I can see that from here?" There was a lot of people in line just witnessing what a jerk this guy is. Everybody was just looking at each other. The manager came out and asked the guy to calm down. After he got served he was about to walk out of there but not too fast...the woman went "Sir, you need to pay for that". lol

It depends really. If the person who's being humiliated is mean to other people, I probably won't care because I'd personally write it off to karma but if that person is nice, I approach the person humuliated and give him/her some pep talk.

It happened to me with my friend way back 14 years ago. The person who did this humiliating events in my life was no other than my Godmother. It happened inside the train when me and my friend about to ride, and surprised we saw her standing in front of us. Because it was too long before we saw each other again, I asked my friend to ask her if she's the person I know, he did it and she ask her. But when she answer she begun to shout and told those words that makes me paralized that momment. I cannot breath that time and feeling I want to disappear in front of those people looking on us. This experienced I cannot forget until the time I got my last breath. It was so humiliating.

I don't like it. Most of the time I'll come to bat for the person being humiliated. We've all been there and everybody puts their pant on the same way.No one should be made to feel less.
