My feelings on shame theory

I am happy that I decided to do my paper based off of shame theory. I was interested in seeing how shame controls all of the other emotions humans have. I also enjoyed learning how a person’s character is not based off of the shame event itself, but mostly how they react to it. I wasn’t aware before that there are four scripts in shame theory that people use to cope with shame to gain back their pride: Avoidance, Withdrawal, Attack Other and Attack Self. I didn’t realize what an importance pride has in humans, and what depths we will go to in order to gain that pride back.
