The Battle of Shame

Feeling shame about one's feelings and mistakes is destructive and can lead to constant self-judgment and seeking validation of being a 'piece of shit.' Positing an ideal for personal growth creates a painful comparison between where one is and where they want to be. The battle lies in balancing the desire to improve with self-acceptance, love, and gratitude. Driven individuals often struggle with this tension. The battle also involves societal expectations and fitting into the crowd versus being one's authentic self. Showing up as oneself leads to self-worth and control, while trying to fit in and not being true to oneself results in feeling worthless.
