what makes humans embarrased? like what made us "evolve" to have that "emotion"

embarrassment is mostly intended for females to seem like virtuous partners who will raise your sperm, the fact men can be embarrassed is a mistake of evolution
it shows that we realize that we've done something wrong, which helps others to realize that we either regret the bad thing we did or didn't do it on purpose, which makes living as a member of society much simpler and easier than without it
It's a social construct.
What's embarrassing in one culture could be the norm in another.

but what makes sonething inherently wrong? people are embarrased to be seen pooping, that doesn't make pooping wrong
Humans are social animals and like many social animals, fitting in with the group can be very important.
Blushing or the act of feeling embarrassed go hand in hand with empathy and help us save-face within our particular social structures.

People in India aren't embarrassed to be pooping. You get shame from pooping since you never do it in public.

It social construct.
If you grew up in a world where everyone shit in public you would not have such a stigma about it.

Another mental llness I mean emotion to enhance social cohesion in human groups, if humans could be feel embarassment or shame then you could do anything and not feel bad about it thats basically autism and one the reasons autistic people are so weird because they have no idea they are being weird emotionally.

Because social ostracism is just as painful as physical torture to the brain. It means that we will not be able to breed with a woman, or woman with a man, and this sort of realization of a gene death is painful, and gives you incentive to not ostracize yourself from the gene pool.
Unless you are like me and the pain is not felt anymore, you can care about the truth and you can tell people all the painful truths without caring anymore. It is liberating.
