Re: Second-Hand Embarrassment and fiction? (related to secret #15)
(Anonymous) 2013-05-16 03:17 am (UTC)(link)Public humiliation is what really gets me, I think. I'm able to deal with it if it's a generally private thing - like, just a few people see Character A get torn down in some way - but the moment the audience expands, it goes from squick to trigger for me. Possibly because I have social anxiety issues to begin with. Funny thing is, I'm far more able to cope IRL, but public humiliation is one of my big fears, and watching it play out on TV to a character I like is just... nope. Can't do it.
I couldn't watch The Reichenbach Fall, from Sherlock for that reason. I watched the first ten minutes or so, saw the trainwreck coming, and decided around the point I began to hyperventilate that it wasn't worth it. Skipped to the end to see John's scene at the graveyard, because I'd heard good things about it, but I still haven't been able to bring myself to watch the bits in between.
