Thoughts of suicide are almost certainly not triggered as a way of regaining status unless they're thought of by a person whose culture encourages that course of action, or for some other reason already thought of suicide that way before an actual embarrassment happened. Your subsequent thoughts may be about the status of suicide, and those subsequent thoughts may reinforce the initial thought, but the initial thought being first triggered as a status mechanism seems far-fetched.

Do you feel a sense of pressure, not necessarily of anxiety, when an embarrassment happens?
