dismay

verb

To surprise in such a manner as to disillusio

As a softy who is scarcely able to take a knife to a raw chicken - let along hold it to a person's throat - I was surprised, embarrassed, and dismayed all at once.

Surprised & embarrased are part of what dismayed is.

They Were Dismayed by the U-turn Policy
