👉 Mortifications are physical sensations or reactions that occur after a person has undergone a painful or embarrassing experience. These can range from minor irritations, such as chapped lips or cuts, to more severe consequences, such as pain or discomfort in the body. Mortification is often associated with the act of experiencing negative emotions, such as fear, shame, or embarrassment, and it can serve as a form of self-censorship or psychological defense mechanism.
