I mean, it's kind of on her if she felt humiliated. I feel embarrassed by things that no one notices and no cares about. But those feelings are a reflection of me, not society.

Humiliation, which is different from regret, is a product of self reflection in confrontation to social feedback. That said it’s hard to blame anybody for a feeling of humiliation when it’s almost always the product of social reinforcement.

Society was the one that originally taught you to be embarrassed by those things, though.
Yes, with work you can try and take back some of that control. But those things that you are embarrassed by were taught to you to be embarrassing.

Not really. They are reflections of what you have learned from the way other people react to you or to someone else.
