Blush

Blush is slang for feeling embarrassed or ashamed. It is typically used to describe a person’s response to a situation that makes them feel self-conscious or uncomfortable.

Blush is often used to express the physical response of blushing, where a person’s face turns red due to embarrassment or shyness. However, it can also be used metaphorically to describe the feeling of embarrassment without the physical manifestation.

Example 1: Sarah told a really embarrassing joke at the party and everyone laughed. She couldn’t help but blush in embarrassment.

Example 2: When Mark realized he had forgotten his lines during the school play, he felt his face flush with a blush of humiliation.
