I don't know if all the words in this list qualify. Some of them exist in other languages as specific words as well.

For example:

Fremdschämen To be embarrassed by something somebody else did German

Myötähäpeä in Finnish (alongshame when literally translated)

Great point! I've heard this from a few people so I'm debating adding a column for languages where that particular word does actually translate.
