1717 || when shame is a demon || book club

The more one experiences shame, the more one is ashamed, and the beat goes on. It is this dead-end quality of shame that makes it so hopeless. But it's not hopeless, it just feels like it.

“Without feeling, nothing matters, and with feeling, anything can matter.” - Silvan Tompkins

When you internalize toxic levels of shame, you create a "false self" to cope. It takes lots of energy and hard work to live a false self.
