Dear Ones,

I think there must be a way to deal with this for all of us, but I don't know what it is. I have been embarrassed all my life about simply talking normally - and maybe not so normally. Embarrassed about what I did or did not do, etc.

I think it is not so good for us to have to feel shame for this when we might just simply be acting normally! Or not. I came from a family that was shaming about any mistakes we made, about anything we did, things we said, etc.. A shame-based family, so to speak. What about you?

Should we be so ashamed of ourselves? I don't know if we should be. Why must we feel that way? Why does our family, society, psychiatry want us to be ashamed and embarrassed? Because we are different? Everybody is different. EVERYBODY! Some people I have known are total a-holes and absolute fools and they don't feel ashamed or embarrassed by the way they are. Why should we?

I probably ask an impossible question.
Thanks for this!
