I hate to admit but I have sometimes been embarrassed socially this probably because of some of the social "problems" I have.
Also some see me as the disabled kid, "retard" "spaz" and due to using a laptop in class "Steven hawking"

so in that way it is a bit embarrassing.
However I agree that its not a great thing to say as it isnt always, in fact even tough the show is great I disapprove of the name of the show.
