verguenza ajena
  43

It is a feeling that occurs when you feel ashamed for the ridiculous or scandalously unsuccessful performance of someone different from the one who feels it. It usually occurs when the "ashamed" is a relative, friend or acquaintance of the one who cannot suppress this feeling, but it is also given, even if there is no relationship between them. In some areas the word "Lipori" is used to describe this feeling.
