Shame - We feel badly about ourselves

11/8/2015

0 Comments

 
We feel shame when we think of poorly of ourselves. It is our sense of our own incompetence or powerlessness. Shame is the emotion that encourages us to do our best. When we are ashamed we may feel vulnerable and even helpless. Shame reflects a decrease in stature while pride is the emotion reflecting an increase in stature.

Definitions
  1. Feeling badly about yourself.
  2. Dissatisfaction from your assessment of a decrease in stature
  3. Disapproving of your own actions or accomplishments.
  4. Failure to meet my own standard of behavior.
  5. Absence or deficiency of self-love. [Gil]
  6. Feeling inferior.
  7. Believing you are a bad person.
  8. Loss of honor.
  9. Blaming yourself for making a mistake.
  10. Knowing you did wrong when it was possible to do right.
  11. Not meeting your responsibility to yourself.
Root: from Indo-European: skem-, from *kem- “to cover, to veil, to hide”
