    This video has probably saved my life. I've been going through a tough period where it feels like I can only do wrong, and any acts of kindness I do are artificial because they don't change what I have done. Knowing this feeling is universal, the physical sensation in my body, and that I can comfort others through this is a revelation. I think I can start the process of forgiving myself.

    When I feel shame theres a dirty disgusting man trying to abuse me or abusing me_ usually old guy who visits prostitutes following my 5 year old self to the playground swings.

    If your in enviroments that abuse people _ shame is a given and everybody flys like a winged monkey. Abusers wany u to dissociate. When I was 5 _ I was pyt into party dress and taken to factory for abuse _ it was shaming to be a 5 year old prostitute for my neighboyrs work place.

    There are long list of my 'shame' moments. When it happened, i feel it in my chest. I addressed one of my shame moments in the exercise last night.. i thought my chest is going to burst! i cried a lot! i imagine my mom lovely face said 'You're enough my child, i love you & thank you for your hard work all this time' hyperventilating & i was scare that i won't survive the session. But I did. Thank you Sir! I would like to know when can i redo the exercise again, i mean the safest time period between the last exercise? i would like to process my shame moments as many as i can.

    I noticed that one of my primary symptons of anxiety since I started to suffer from it when I was a teenager, was shame. I don't remember what kind of shame I was feeling back then, but I remember that when I got conscious of having anxiety, I already knew shame was one of the symptoms. But only last year I started suffering from shame a lot more to actually remember I have a problem with shame, because it was making my life so hard by not being able to be authentic, use my voice, my knowledge and abilities. I said to myself by the end of the year that next year (this year) I wanted to work on shame, that was one of the biggest if not the most important goal. I was motivated to help myself heal from this emotion. Then I realized, when I separated from a friend by the end of the year, that our friendship was a big source of shame for me. When we separated, the shame stopped a lot. And not only that, I was being close with another friend, I was feeling true connection with them, it was a person who was making me feel safe in myself, sure of who I was. So shame disappeared for some months this year, but I got separated from this person so I lost that source that was giving me confidence in myself and my life, and shame returned. I was so frustrated that this happened. Because I remember that some months ago I was noticing shame and naming it. When I was feeling shame I would say "shame", and I knew it wasn't true what shame was saying, so only with saying "shame", I could start to feel better with not so much effort. Later it wasn't even needed naming it, I would feel just a little bit of shame, I was noticing it and when I noticed it, I would think quickly that I'm worthy, that I do make sense, that I'm smart, that I deserve what I did, and it would go away, all of that in a few seconds, because I actually believed that of myself, my friend helped me do it. But my good friend is not my friend anymore. My brain is not receiving that positiveness I was receiving from someone, and it's hard for the brain to create it itself. In other words, it's hard for me to make myself feel better about me, I need help. We all need help. We all need connection, validation, love. We need to have all of that while growing up, but I didn't have it and had to build it myself. But it's hard, we are social beings. I don't know what I'm going to do with this, with the need of connection. We all need a support group, we all need to feel a sense of safety, of trust, that someone holds our backs. Someone who notices our accomplishments and compliments us for being who we are. I know I have to build more self compassion in myself, because I don't feel comnection with others right now. But this is what I can do. My responsability is to find a way to change my beliefs of not being worthy, of not being someone who can be authentic, someone who can share her voice, thoughts and appreciations and knowledge with the world. I feel like I'm back where I started, I'm afraid that I can't go back to dealing actively on shame like I was doing, but hey, this is what I got now, and I'm studying (about to read John Bradshaw's book) and looking for amazing and helpful videos like this. Much love and strength to everyone!

    Aa a 30 year old man i have such crippling shame because of childhood sexual abuse and excessive bullying and body shaming that I almost feel naked when I go out among people. Its like people can stare through my soul. I cannot wear certain type of clothes, cannot play sports, cannot go to public places because I hate myself. My friends think im depressed and tell me to go for walking, swimming, to exercise but how do I tell them that my crippling shame doesn't let me step out of my room. What was my fault in all of this. Even though I try hard i cant keep anger and resentment from rising when I see people happy and joyfyl while im despite all my hard work and achievements cannot even go to the grocery store with my head up. What a miserable existence it is.

    i haven't thought too much about this, at least not consciously, but it entered my mind while watching the first 2/3 of this video: my desire is to be OBJECTIVELY a good person rather than SUBJECTIVELY according to other people's perspectives of me. i don't think my shame is triggered when i feel like others view me badly, IF i feel they are wrong about their perception of me (in that case my fear/anger is triggered because i feel they're a threat to my wellbeing because they don't understand me). my shame is triggered when i feel/know i'm acting out of alignment with MY boundaries and preferences for how i should behave, and sometimes this is reflected back to me by others, but not always - sometimes i know they're wrong about me, and i know i'm acting well. thank you for your talk ❤

    Wow, this is incredible. I recently started counseling and my counselor has been reinforcing Self Compassion since Day 1. Hot damn, I feel great to know this is already working in my life and I will add those reminder aspects to my daily life. I deserve love, I have to love myself when no one else is there.

    Bad take. In my experience, the people who would benefit most from aspects of shame aren't the ones who have the predisposition for feeling it. This video speaks more to the concept of self-abuse picked up by the types of personalities who paralyze themselves from feeling any sort of positivity inwards, such as those who suffer from depression and low self-esteem.
