Do you ever feel ashamed of your behaviour?

I feel really bad when i say hurtful stuff to people. Sometimes when i get really really angry or someone says something that hurts my feeling/gets me upset/angry i slip and say something mean that i don't even mean to hurt the other person. I hate when i do that! I always try to say sorry and stuff but sometimes i think it isn't enough.

yes, i feel ashamed of my behaviour for bad things i have done or do. i don't believe everyone believes everything is acceptable. you were correct to leave this friend as it appears he or she didn't want to be a friend to you in return. you have shown your feelings and are caring. it is good to be this way and yes, being ashamed of our behavior is good too. it shows what we have done wrong and either will teach us or not make us do something like that again. best to you

I most definitely still have a strong awareness about my behavior. I try to stick to doing things that are morally acceptable to myself. I don't like the word "ashamed" because I think it is a negative word. Many people don't change their behavior because they feel ashamed. They change their behavior because they choose to be better or they feel more confident. Having said that I will admit that I engaged in some behavior which I didnot think was worthy of myself. I felt embarrassed. I guess that's the same as ashamed. I thought about it and I realized that what happened was a "red flag" that I needed to re-think some things about myself and that I was not as strong as I thought in that particular area. It actually ended up making me more conscious of how vulnerable I was and anyone . At any time all of us can make a mistake. The most important think is to be conscious of your mistakes and take responsibility for your actions so that you can move on to bigger and better things. If your friend didnot try to contact you I'm thinking that she may have been feeling the same way you were. She may have also felt that the friendship had run its course and the both of you were ready to move on.

Well, i do feel ashamed when i get angry and yell at somebody (the victim, of course). But apologies reach them depending on how i feel about them. Right now i'm in a very tricky situation in my life and i've become very temperamental. So i do feel bad when i have these dirty mood swings and somebody becomes a victim :)

I've had times where I've felt ashamed of something I did.It's probably good to feel that way,then you know when you did something wrong.Well,when I have done something,I feel I need to apoligize for doing something.especially if I've wronged someone.I had a few friends like that,that I drifted away because had no more in common with them.I just stopped socializing with them.They weren,t good friend anyways,because they never called me on the phone,I always contacted them.They acted like they didn't even notice,I stopped talking to them,and that's because I was the one who always made the first contact.I think it's ok to get rid of friends like this,so this I feel no shame for.

Yes of course I have. The most terrible thing I have experienced was when I was in college. Then I was resiponsible for the study stuff of our class. For example,it was my duty to inform my classmates of whatever related to study and to fetch the forms that all classmates need to fill in from the administration offices and distribute them among classmates and then collect them and hand them in. One day when I was a junior it turned up in my mind that I had forgotten to inform a girl in our class of the information about the make-up examination. She failed the Calculus one year later, and she should have been able to take the make-up examination one semister ago but in fact I fogort to inform her then. So at that moment I felt so bad and found her to apologize to her. She forgived me but I had been ashamed of that for more than a year until she passed the re-examination. Don't you think I am not bad for having some sense of being ashamed?

yeah in childhood we used to feel ashamed of many things but now we are not ashamed of anything we say or do but i am really ashamed of one thing , i still remember that day , oh gosh why i can't forget that day but no problem that was also a good day , i am very short tempered girl and one day i shouted at my teacher and i had a genuine reason for that also and even she knewed that she was at fault but still i felt ashamed because i think i did wrong by shouting at her even though she was at mistake.nevertheless she learnt a lesson from a student lol :p
