==In Judaism== Embarrassing another person is considered to be a serious sin in [[Judaism]]. Rabbis quoted in the [[Babylonian Talmud]] state that embarrassing another person in public is akin to murder (literally "spilling blood"). Rabbi Naḥman bar Yitzḥak responds by noting how the analogy of "spilling blood" is apt since, when a person is embarrassed, their face becomes less flushed and more pale (after the initial flush).<ref>{{cite book |title=Bava Metzia |pages=58b–59a |url=https://www.sefaria.org/Bava_Metzia.58b.8?lang=bi}}</ref>
