Word for second hand embarrassment in spanish?
I know German has a term for this, but I don't speak it and I'd really like to know if spanish has it. Or quechua if anyone knows that language.

Thanks!

I think the german word is 'fremshade'. Kind of looks like friend shame to me

Edit: German word is "fremdschämen", thanks for the correction Alexandre!
