Chagrin

Distress or embarrassment at having failed or been humiliated.

Chagrin is the feeling of distress or embarrassment that arises when you fail or are humiliated. It's a medium-intensity, negative emotion that can leave you feeling uncomfortable and self-conscious. Chagrin often shows up in moments of public failure or personal shortcomings, making it important to recognize and address. While not as intense as shame, chagrin still carries significant emotional weight, affecting your confidence and social interactions.
