There's the idea of “Spanish shame” — feeling embarrassed for someone else's actions. Is there an opposite idea, when you're happy or proud of someone else's actions?
AI says there's no generally accepted term, but there are similar ones from different fields: Mudita (from Buddhist philosophy); Compersion (from relationship psychology); Vicarious Pride (from English); “spivradist”, being proud of someone (from our own language). Pick any — that's what you feel when you see and touch the quality materials and designs from
@babylon.sneakers.uaЄ поняття "іспанський сором" коли соромно за дії іншої людини. Чи є протилежне поняття, коли радієш чи пишаєшся діями іншої людини?
ШІ каже немає такого загально прийнятого поняття, але є схожі з різних сфер: Мудіта / Mudita (із буддійської філософії); Комперсія / Compersion (з психології стосунків); Опосередкована гордість / Vicarious Pride (з англ-ї мови); Співрадість, Гордість за когось (з нашої мови).
