It makes so much sense that a man such as Felix, who values his personal dignity so highly, would feel so ashamed of enacting something so personal in public.
It also makes me think of how he was found after he killed Evilthena, his darkest moment and greatest loss of control both there for everybody to see. That after he lost his leg, and tried to sing through his pain despite the fact that everybody could hear.
Of course, for all the times his private life was on display (people watching him in sickbay but not visiting him, Adama not reacting to either his stabbing of Baltar nor the incident with Eight), this makes me think back to the other ficlet, about how he has come to internalize that he's invisible. That's certainly one of the aspects of this character that I've always identified with on the most personal level, too.
