Edward T. Welch Quotes

There Is An Important Difference Between Embarrassment And Shame. Whatever Caused Your Embarrassment Has Been Experienced By Everyone Else Too, At One Point Or Another. Your Sense Of Social Isolation Was Fleeting. Within The Hour - Or Decade - You Laugh About It. With Shame, You Never Laugh At It. It Feels Like Unending Embarrassment, But It Is More Than That. Embarrassment Doesn't Afflict The Core Of The Person's Soul, But Shame Becomes Your Identity. It Touches Everything About You. Embarrassment Points Toward Shame, But It Wears Away Over Time. For Shame To Wear Away, It Feels As Though The Shame-ful Person Would Have To Wear Away, And Some People Have Tried Such Things.
