: Yes, "quedar mal" is often meant this way in Mexico. I was about to post "fear of letting others down" when I saw yours.

(Fear of) making a bad impression on others.
What an impression they will have of me.
You can read the pdf about this in the link:
revistas.uned.es/index.php/reop/article/download/79/67
In the text in Spanish it is missing precisely this phrase, but it is further down in English, page 81.
Factors are named fear of failure, fear of overwork, fear of selection processes, fear of not being able to develop one’s talent at work, fear of unknown future and fear of making a bad impression on others.
| Thanks. I think I'm going to use "Fear of making a bad impression"... |
| agree |
Robert Carter
: Good research, although Tomás already posted "fear of making a bad impression".

I would be very surprised if you hadn't already given us any available info, but I have to ask: do we know what ENT, ENM etc mean?
