This is something I need an opinion on.

I suffer from shame from a particular event associated with a love interest.I acted like quite a different person at that time . Also I suffer from shame attacks from even remotely sexual like I can't watch porn or I can't see someone else suffer from humiliation.
I recently figured out that I am a love addict and all the shame is my inner critic warning me about my love addiction.
I finally could connect the dots by recognizing this.Does anyone else feel this is a valid reason for my shame attacks? Does this make sense? I just need some reassurance to move on.
