I have felt shame. You have felt it too.
It's that emotion when you want to tuck yourself into a tight little ball, roll into a dark corner, and disappear.
You feel like a bad person who is unworthy, unlovable, and cast out.
Shame feels like you've done something very, very wrong — so wrong that your self-esteem withers, and you see yourself as seriously flawed.
You are filled with self-loathing and inadequacy.
