Short Description
Shame is a painful emotion stemming from negative self-evaluation, a belief that there is something fundamentally wrong with you as a person rather than simply that you did something wrong. It involves feelings of inadequacy, unworthiness, and humiliation, and often triggers a desire to hide or withdraw from others.
