the awkwardness of strangers/acquaintances knowing

My overflowing trash bin for a situation where it's common knowledge -- like, public -- that Bucky was subjected to horrendous and repeated sexual abuses in captivity. The public could also be aware of his difficulties with trauma, either through a trial situation or a leak. So imagine Bucky in this kind of milieu having to deal with the fact that not only does everyone recognize certain behaviors of his as trauma symptoms, but they know the abuses they stem from. When he firmly rejects a prostate exam, the doctor knows why. When he's at an event and has to ask a friendly attendee not to touch him, she knows why. The looks of pity, the awkwardness as people try not to interact with him like they don't know such horrible intimate details, and sometimes the invasive questions.
