Shame
Description
No description available.
Shame is an unpleasant self-conscious emotion associated with negative self-evaluation in relation to social norms and one’s personal moral standards. It can generate feelings of pain, exposure, distrust, powerlessness, and worthlessness, which in turn may give rise to anger, denial, avoidance, reduced sensitivity to shame, and a tendency to externalize blame.
