Hey there! Welcome to Life Noggin! You know that inward shiver you get when you witness something embarrassing?
大家好，欢迎来到脑洞大开的生命奇想！你知道当你看到某件尴尬的事情时内心的尴尬不安吗？
It happens on youtube a lot. Circlia: It especially happens when you make a bad pun on Life Noggin!
这在油管上很常见。圆脸娜：当你在节目中做一个很差的双关时，尴尬尤其会出现！
Blocko: Okay! Haha very good! Triangle Bob: and when you talk to Circlia.
好吧！哈哈很好！三角鲍勃：还有当你和圆脸娜说话的时候。
Blocko: alright, well we should get to the- Triangle Bob: or when you talk with anyone else really. Blocko: ALRIGHT!
好吧，我们应该聊聊这个...或者你和其他任何人说话时。好吧！
So why do people cringe? That's what we're talking about.
所以为什么人们会替别人感到尴尬？这就是我们要讨论的问题。
Blocko: Embarrassment is an emotion that makes us feel bad when we publicly violate a social norm -
尴尬是一种当我们公然违反社会规范时让我们感觉不好的一种情感，
like when Triangle Bob trips down the stairs or burps loudly, or trips down the stairs while burping loudly.
比如三角鲍勃跌下楼梯或者大声打嗝时发生时会很尴尬，或者大声打嗝时跌下楼梯。
It happens a lot. Cringing is a sort of vicarious embarrassment that happens when we see someone else make one of these mistakes -
这经常发生。cringe是当我们看到别人犯这样的错误时，我们会替他们感到尴尬，
even if we don't know the other person or if they don't realize they are doing it.
即使我们不认识这个人，或者他们没意识到自己做了尴尬的事情。
Triangle Bob: We can also get this feeling when we're faced with a reality about ourselves that we were unaware of,
当我们面临着一个我们没有意识到的关于我们的事情时，我们也会产生这种感觉，
like when you hear your voice in a recording or watch yourself in old videos.
比如当你在录音中听到你的声音时，或者在旧视频中看到你自己时。
Blocko: ugh! I've changed okay!? I've changed! Circlia: Melissa Dahl, the author of Cringeworthy:
额！我已经变了好吧！？我已经变了！梅丽莎·达尔是此种尴尬理论的提出者：
A Theory of Awkwardness refers to this as "cringe-theory,"
她将此称为“尴尬理论”，
which is the idea that we are embarrassed when the version of ourselves we think we are presenting to the world clashes with how the world actually sees us.
也就是说，当我们认为自己呈现给世界的形象与世界实际看待我们的方式发生冲突时，我们会感到尴尬。
But why do we cringe when someone else does something embarrassing?
当别人做了某件尴尬的事情时，为什么我们会替他们感到尴尬？
In the '80s, before the term "cringe" came about, one researcher referred to this feeling as "empathetic embarrassment."
80年代，在“cringe”这个词出现之前，一位研究员将这种感觉称为“共情尴尬”。
He theorized that because our culture is so concerned with proper social conduct,
他将这个理论化是因为我们的文化很注重恰当的社会行为，
simply envisioning ourselves in place of someone else doing something embarrassing makes us feel embarrassed.
简单地想象自己代替别人做一些令人尴尬的事情会让我们感到尴尬。
And we wouldn't be able to feel this way if we didn't have this important social trait called empathy.
如果我们没有同理心这种重要的社会特质，我们就不会有这种感觉。
Triangle Bob: Empathy is essential in our social world because it allows us to know what someone else may be feeling or thinking so that we can treat others compassionately.
同理心在我们的社会世界中是很重要的，因为它让我们知道别人的感受或想法，这样我们才能富有同情心地对待别人。
This means that the more empathetic you are, the more you will cringe.
这意味着，你越有同理心，你就越会产生尴尬。
But, now you can say you cringe because you care!
现在你可以说你会感到尴尬是因为以会关心！
Blocko: In a 2011 study, researchers measured brain activity while showing test subjects a sketch and description of an embarrassing scenario.
在2011年的一个研究中，研究人员给测验对象展示了一个尴尬场景的草图和描述，同时检测他们的脑部活动。
They found that the same regions associated with empathy - the anterior cingulate cortex and the left anterior insula - were activated during these times.
他们发现与同理心相关的区域——前扣带皮层和左前岛叶——在这段时间被激活。
Scientists call this area the "pain matrix" since it has been linked to our compassionate perception, or empathy, for both physical and social pain.
科学家将这片区域称为“疼痛矩阵”，因为它与我们对身体和社会痛苦的同情感或同理心有关。
While this study looked only at how strangers make us cringe,
这个研究只研究了陌生人是如何让我们感到尴尬的情况，
a more recent study published in 2015 by the same group looked at how our brains react when our friends make us cringe.
在更近的2015年，同一批人又发表了关于人们的朋友让他们感到尴尬时他们大脑的反应的研究。
Circlia: As you may expect, they found activity in the pain matrix increased when seeing friends embarrass themselves compared to strangers.
正如你所预料的那样，和陌生人相比，他们发现当看到朋友们尴尬时，他们的疼痛矩阵的活动会增加。
But they also found more activity in a region associated with self-related thoughts called the precuneus,
他们也发现，与自我相关的思维相关的区域楔前叶的活动会增加，
suggesting that we share our friends' embarrassment or are concerned about our own social image.
这表示我们会分担朋友的尴尬或者担心我们的社会形象。
Triangle Bob: So, while cringing isn't fun, it means that we have the ability to relate and care strongly about others, which isn't all that bad if you ask me.
所以，如果你问我的话，虽然尴尬不好玩，但是这意味着我们有能力与他人建立联系并强烈地关心他人，这也并不全是坏事。
I make a lot of mistakes. The animator kinda messes with me. It's my thing, but I see a lot of comments that feel bad for me.
我总是会犯错误。动画师似乎在搞我。这就是我，但是我看到很多人在评论区为我感到难过。
Kinda neat that everyone like- Triangle Bob: Oh come on not again! Blocko: So do you actually like watching cringey videos?
有点棒，大家都喜欢-别闹了！你真的喜欢看使人尴尬的视频吗？
Or do you hate seeing people get embarrassed? If you have a cringey story, and you're comfortable with sharing, share it down below in the comments!
或者你不想看到人们感到尴尬？如果你有一个令人尴尬的故事，你也愿意分享的话，请在下面的评论区告诉我们！
I'll be responding to some! Curious to know the dengerous effects of bullying, well then you should check out this video I did with triangle bob.
我会适当回复的！想知道霸凌带来的危险后果吗，那你应该看看我和三角鲍勃一块做的视频。
They often experience neglect or are themselves being bullied by parents or siblings.
他们会经常感觉被忽视，或者他们受到了父母或者兄妹的霸凌。
Due to feeling shame from their own experiences, they might develop defense mechanisms like aggression.
由于因自己的经历而感到羞耻，他们可能会发展出像攻击这样的防御机制。
Targets of bullying often do worse in school and are more likely to skip or drop out.
