How Shame Affects Your Life as a Gay Man

Shame is that terrible feeling that arises when you get the sense that something is fundamentally wrong about you. It is often accompanied by inadequacy and self-doubt. Shame convinces you that you are not enough.  

Like it or not, shame plays a key role in the gay man’s life. Born into a straight world, we must contend with the fact that we are different. While we all have a unique way of dealing with shame, healing it is necessary if we want to develop an authentic sense of self and truly connect in our most intimate relationships. 

We’ll be exploring 3 key questions:

1. How shame affect us as gay men, specifically
2. How do we identify shame
3. What are some ways we can start healing shame?
