Hi, thanks for all your inputs. I'm especially interested in Shame and feelings of inferiority because I recently found out these emotions are at the bottom part of what I called "Tip of iceberg of neuroses"
I now know these toxic emotions are the ones that are causing my neuroses and preventing me from succeeding in my life.
I read numerous books about emotions and I believe toxic shame is at the root of addicitions and OCDs. However, one must ask what really causes toxic shame? It's abandonment. Abandonment here is not only physically being abandoned. Any kind of insufficient love met by a child is abandonment. So as a result of abandonment, a child develops a false-self beliefs. Beliefs that " I am basically flawed." This is the cause of toxic shame.
And as for the poster above who said shame is useful and helpful, you are absolutely right. You're not gonna run on streets naked because you feel shame! But toxic shame is the other end of spectrum. Toxic shame basically tells you you are a msitaken human being. So yea I wanted to make a distinction.
