Did you say or do or even think of something that made you feel queasy or even sick?
Did you just want to hide?
The feeling of shame inside affects you physically.
Shame results when a person receives negative messages, internally or from others, leading him to believe he’s a bad or defective person who is helpless to change.
Adding feelings of helplessness and powerlessness that often accompany shame, the feeling of shame produces high levels of stress-related hormones.
