Could someone explain to me like I am five, why Sartre believed that the shame

Could someone explain to me like I am five, why Sartre believed that the shame was the inevitable and basic (authentic) existential response to the gaze of the other? I can understand somewhat when he says "that no once can be vulgar alone" but I don't understand how he can say that the other in some basic existential way can produce shame.
