*repost* Shame is a difficult emotion for any hum

*repost*

Shame is a difficult emotion for any human to feel, let alone talk about. Brene Brown distinguishes healthy guilt, “I made a mistake,” with shame, “I am a mistake”.

The deal that Shame makes with us is this: to keep it secret, to be silent, and to judge ourselves (Brene Brown).

In other words, don’t talk about it, pretend like you don’t have it, and when you are in it, be extra hard on yourself. However, this often keeps us in our own stories about how we are bad, there is something wrong with us, and we are the only ones who feel this way.

There are a few things that self-compassion can help us to remember when we are experiencing this difficult human emotion:

1. Shame is an innocent emotion, arising from the universal desire to belong, to be accepted, and to be loved.

2. Shame is one only one part of us rather than the whole picture of who we are.

3. Feeling shame actually makes us more similar to other human beings, than different from them.

Human beings have evolved to the point we are at today BECAUSE of our capacity for cooperation and connection.

If there is one thing the pandemic has highlighted for us, it’s that we can’t do this alone.
