ELI5: What makes the human mind dwell so easily on embarrassing experiences even after a long time since they occurred?
gpt
Embarrassment usually happens when you perceive yourself to have messed up in some way (especially when others witness it). Humans are social creatures, and our group is really important. We don't want to lose our group because they think we are screw ups, so the brain tries to hammer home every mistake so that we don't make it again.

Does that make sense/answer your question?
