Some say he is still falling to this day 😭⁠ ⁠ People get embarrassed when they fall over because it triggers a strong social response rather than just a physical one. Falling is unexpected and breaks normal behaviour in public, which can make us feel exposed or vulnerable in front of others. Our brains are wired to care about how we’re perceived, so a sudden loss of balance can feel like a loss of control.⁠ ⁠ Psychologists call this “self-conscious emotion” the same category as shame or awkwardness. Even if no one is hurt, we instantly imagine how we look from someone else’s perspective. That rush of heat to the face or nervous laughter isn’t about the fall itself it’s about social awareness kicking in at full speed.⁠ ⁠ 🎥: Contentbible⁠ ⁠
