Maybe it's just me..

...but I have a problem with watching shows sometimes.

If I know there is an embarrassing scene coming up (i.e. "Friends" episode, where Rachel is wearing a slip for her boyfriend and his parents walk into the room and fun family hijinks ensue.), I tend to change the channel to get past that part before I can resume watching, otherwise I feel embarrassed for the character it's happening to.

Same thing with movies.

John thinks it's cute AND strange, since I can't change the outcome of the scene, I know exactly what's going to happen, I visibly cringe for the character going through the embarrassing issue, I may have seen that particular episode or movie a million times ("My Best Friend's Wedding", plenty of embarrassing moments in that one), yet I continue to try to avoid those moments or fast forward through them.

Yeah, it's just me.

you're not the only one. I do it to, but I usually just cringe, look away or cover my face so I don't have to watch it.
