<s>[INST] I recently read a great book about overcoming shame. It was very helpful. As I reflect on the book, I realize that I’m still carrying shame related to past mistakes. I feel the shame deeply and it’s affecting my relationships and self image. I’ve been wanting to talk to friends who are also working on overcoming shame but no one wants to talk about it. It feels discouraging and isolating.
My question to you is: Why do people have a hard time discussing shame with each other?[/INST]
