Embarrassment, Shame, and Guilt

What can embarrassment, shame, and guilt teach you? These are all normal, human emotions. We've all felt them at one time or another. We feel embarrassment when we're uncomfortable about something we've done in front of other people. Shame is worse; it's what makes us feel like we are bad or worthless people. Guilt is the emotion we feel when we feel sorry that we did something specific, like telling a lie or hurting a friend. These emotions are no fun to feel—but they can help you understand both yourself and the world around you a little better. The more you learn about these feelings, the better you'll be able to handle life. Find out more inside this book!
