I live with so much shame

I live with so much shame. Things that have happened over the course of my life that I’ve never let go of. I did something stupid recently and it is eating me alive.

Have any of you escaped the shame?

Yes I ran naked on a beach ! I am a shameless person.

But there are different types of shame.

Everything happens for a reason. Whatever u did in the past happened because of who u were.. but the Shame u feel about it means u regret it and u have learned from it.. u learned that there was a better way

It is just a growing experience. U feel the shame.. now u remember that feeling and probably won’t go back to what u did. Shame can be good but don’t dwell on it. Forgive yourself because we all make mistakes.. and unlike some people at least u feel the guilt that makes u timid to repeat the same actions
