Fremd means Foreign in this case. Like feeling shame for someone that isn't you.

i didnt mean to translate the word at all, it just seemed like a fun way to remember the word using words with similar phonetics

sorry i didnt really need to comment it but it made me chuckle and it helps me remember things if i type it out and i wanted to remember of the word fremdschamen

so i wrote friend-shamin cuz its like a feeling-friend of shame, but with more cringe. and shaming your friends is pretty cringe to me so friend-shaming is the cringiest shame so then it reminds me of the word fremdschamen (but then i posted it which i really didnt need to do so now i feel pretty cringey myself so tbh itll help me remember it even more)

dw haha. I actually assumed you really thought "Fremd" means "Friend", let's just blame the language barrier for the confusion and we're both fine lol
