Personally speaking, I don't like being humiliated in front of all the people. I would rather accept it if that person will confront me privately. Some people like doing this. Can you deal with it?

What do you do to a person who hurts you knowing fully well that it hurts, and does it to get perverted pleasure? I humilate them in front of others. I exercise discretion. A sensitive soul that considers others feelings will not be hurt. But a sadistic soul will be treated that way so that he or she realizes it.

Actually that serves as a lesson to others as well, as they realize what they should not be doing. At times, people are so lost in their thoughts and desires that they do not stop to think how another person would be hurt by their actions or words. At times, it gets too much and may be a person who did not mean it, but did it, without thinking has to bear the brunt because the person who suffers the hurt has been hurt far too much. People do need to think about others.

I would prefer it to be private most certainly. But the person that is telling me something about myself should have a good reason to tell me so. I would like to hear from my husband in private or one of my family members or close friends in private for sure. In public it would be very embarrassing. I often feel embarrassed for others when I see their significant other belittling them in public. Or parents excessively scolding their children.

My friends aren't that insensitive. I can't remember a time when I was humiliated in front of others.

I don't let anyone humiliate me in front of others. It happened once, years ago when I first started teaching. I admit, I was keeping my class too long. So the teacher who had most of my students after my class, came in and told me off in front of the class. I made sure she knew never to do that again.

Some people will humiliate you without realizing what they are doing, and then when you say something about it, they think it's funny. We as friends and family members should take into consideration of how someone else is feeling. If they understand how difficult if might be for you to step out of the shadow and then not say anything or letting it go, can be very humiliating for the person. I don't think we should walk on egg shells around others, but we do have to take their feelings into account.

I don't like being humiliated either and I don't like confrontation, if the person cares about you or is genuine and sincere they will take you aside and speak to you in private. Providing it's constructive criticism they are giving me and not using their position or their attitude to belittle me.

No. I hate that type of stuff. Some people seem to enjoy making others miserable. I don't understand what they get from it

I have had people try and do this many times. I would rather they confront just me but some people like an audience. Just keep your head up and do what you need to do in life.

Like you I do not like to be humiliated in front of all the people, as much as possible i do my best to become calm but of course there are some instances that some people provoke and push us to the edge of our limitations which fight back is the only solution to make them stop.

Who would like to be confronted and humiliated? Who would want to be placed in a compromising situation. I don't like confrontation neither. I am not confrontational type.

I don't like either. I would rather also accept if any person will confront me personally. I don't want my reputation to be stained by others (THAT CASE, HUMILIATION) because of their lost of control.

Yes, because I've already experience that humiliation in front of many people. I am not expecting anything and because I grew up in a religious family, which is Catholic-- I still learn how to control my emotions by using my mind. Mind over heart you see. Using our intelligence over emotion, we can deal all of it.

I would be really annoyed if someone would be humiliating me that way. And I am no way going to tolerate such act. If I were in a bad mood, I might be giving him a piece of my mind. But otherwise, I would just walk away.

I don't think most people can handle being humiliated in public. I've been publicly humiliated (intended and non-intended) for quite some time already but I just let it pass but if the situation really had a negative impact on me, I'll make sure I'll talk to that person afterwards. So, I think I can deal wit public humiliation.
Personally, I'm also the type of person who prefers to be confronted personally that in public. That way issues can be resolved in a somewhat calm and private manner.

It is not good to be humiliated and it is not good too to humiliate anyone. I don't get the idea of others who love making a scene but if it will happen to me and I know that I am in the right side well I will stand my ground and put some senses with this person's head... I will never accept humiliation and it is right that it is better to be approached personally but don't ever humiliate me for I won't make it passed by as easy as it goes...
