It's true that we sometimes cause our own hell from past actions, and sometimes it's monumentally difficult to recover from our past mistakes that could affect our present situation...but there has to be a reason for the experience. Of being publicly shamed. Of being ridiculed. What is it? What's the lesson? You could say the person is incredibly stupid for putting themselves in that particular situation in the first place, but there's so much more to it...like an extreme lack of self-acceptance (self-hatred), and a desperate attempt for love and validation at whatever means. I'm rambling... And yes, some people in this world have such a low opinion of themselves that they'd humiliate themselves just to be loved for a moment in time...even though they know it isn't genuine or real. That girl was at her absolute lowest.
