humiliated
Made to blush
Humiliated describes the state of having one's dignity or pride stripped away, often publicly.
To be humiliated is to feel diminished, shamed, or made to look foolish: He was humiliated when his lies were exposed in front of everyone.
The feeling lingers—humiliation cuts deeper than mere embarrassment.
