Understanding Shame and Guilt
Shame is described as feeling like one is bad, while guilt involves recognizing one has done something bad. Guilt typically arises from actions that lead to a breakdown in interpersonal connections, prompting seeking forgiveness. On the other hand, shame results in self-isolation and the inability to seek reconciliation by being seen in one's vulnerable state.
