Do people have a tendency to confuse these 2 words here?
Sometimes it seems like people are using mortified instead of horrified. Am I just reading the conversation wrong?

Ya know, your post made me look up the difference. Lol. I think I interchange them. Thanks. I was wrong.

I guess I should’ve done that.
Mortified means deeply embarrassed or ashamed.
Horrified means extremely shocked, filled with horror.
While many times both make sense to use, it has a different meaning.
IE. I was “mortified/horrified” that my mil walked into my room.
Were you embarrassed- because the room was a mess?
Or were you shocked that she would do such a thing?

I am both horrified and mortified that every scenario here is a red flag for something.
And the fact that the posters here don't know the difference between being mortified and horrified is a red flag for... something😉
