“At least embarrassment is not an imitation. It is intimacy for beginners.”

Simplified Meaning:
When you're embarrassed, it's a real feeling that comes from deep inside you, not something you're pretending. It’s like true, unpolished honesty—you can’t fake it. Think of it as a small step into being closer and more open with people. For example, if you trip and fall in front of someone you like, you feel embarrassed. They see the real, unguarded you in that moment, and it helps break down some walls. So, feeling embarrassed can actually help you connect with others on a more genuine level. It's a natural way to start being more honest and close with the people around you.
