embarrassment triggered aggression

When u're in a embarrassing situation, u tend to snap more easily. For eg, my nephew(5-6yrs old?) trips on his own in front of us, and he scolded his younger brother( 2-4 yrs old?) for tripping him.

well in this situation, the nephew is trying to "save his face" by pushing the blame to his bro. it could have worked, just like in any embarrassing situations, but not when he did it in front of us. We saw the incident clearly. Yet, in an desperate attempt to recover from the embarrassment, he made a hasty and unwise move, which is to scold and push the blame to his bro, thinking it might worked. However, it did not.

Worst still, he embarrassed himself even more in front of the crowd and even lost the trust of his bro(altho i think he's too young to figure anything out). He could have just laughed it off.

This story is a case of embarrassment-triggered aggression. One feels guilty/embarrassed about something and gets snappish to conceal the guilt/embarrassment. Whoever u lashed out at will either be sad/angry at u, relationships soured (ask yourself. do you really want that? Is there no other options?) you are ashamed of yourself for doing this after you calmed down. The cycle continues.. This APPLIES to everyone of us.

everyone should learn to control their emotions, and not let emotions overtake you too easily or it might get out of hand. Even if you want to lash out, do it tactfully and properly.
