Is Sham Conditioning a Necessary Social Adhesive

Shame is a necessary social adhesive that we need in order to live in groups. People who can't experience shame are really impaired socially. We know that if you feel shame and embarrassment that you're more liked by people. If your joy has been punished, if your sexuality has been shamed, if expressions of anger have been shamed,. all these kinds of things, not repaired, then you can end up with this pervasive belief that you're bad even when you aren't.
