Shameless Behavior<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

John Bradshaw contends that internalized shame causes us to develop behaviors that make us feel shameless. Shameless behavior is a strategy that allows us to either a) feel we\u2019re \u201ccorrecting\u201d our sources of shame<\/a>, or b) rid ourselves of the shame by “transferring” it to other people. There are many forms of shamelessness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(Shortform note: Bradshaw\u2019s definition of shameless behavior differs from how society commonly defines shamelessness. Shamelessness typically describes the act of brazenly engaging in unacceptable behavior without concern for the consequences or your public image\u2014in other words, doing something bad and feeling no guilt for it<\/a>.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bradshaw writes that<\/strong> many shameless behaviors stem from the effort to be impenetrable\u2014a form of \u201ccorrecting\u201d our shame<\/strong>. Perfectionism is one example of this\u2014if we\u2019re perfect, we don\u2019t have to worry about not being enough, and we can avoid shame. Another example is striving for power\u2014if we\u2019re more powerful than others, they can\u2019t shame us. These behaviors often lead to the tendency to brag or remind others of our superiority\u2014this ensures that everyone sees us as impenetrable and is distracted from anything that might be shameful about us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shamelessness as an attempt to correct shame may also manifest as being obsessively \u201cmoral\u201d and \u201cgood.\u201d<\/strong> For example, you might compulsively put others before yourself to cancel out shameful feelings of selfishness, or you might try to gain moral superiority over others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(Shortform note: In Complex PTSD<\/em><\/a>, <\/em>Walker explains that these two forms of shame, what he calls perfectionism <\/em>and virulent shame<\/em>, are trauma responses to the abuse (or abandonment) people endured<\/a>. However, Walker notes that these behaviors aren\u2019t just responses to childhood<\/em> trauma but to recurring trauma in general<\/em>. Further, these two responses are likely to result from experiences of victim-blaming\u2014when the abuser makes the victim believe they\u2019re being rightfully punished rather than wrongfully abused.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finally, shamelessness as an attempt to transfer shame to others often comes in the form of anger, blame, and acting out toward others<\/strong>. For instance, if we\u2019re having shameful thoughts or feelings, we may offload them by accusing others of having those thoughts and feelings<\/a> even if they don\u2019t. For example, if we\u2019re annoyed at someone, we might convince ourselves that they\u2019re<\/em> annoyed at us<\/em>. Another form of shamelessness is outwardly accusing or getting angry at others for exhibiting thoughts, feelings, or behaviors we\u2019re ashamed of.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(Shortform note: While Bradshaw positions this form of shamelessness as one of the many products of shame, Bren\u00e9 Brown puts a much heavier emphasis on it. In I Thought It Was Just Me (but it isn\u2019t)<\/em><\/a>, Brown explains that this phenomenon\u2014anger and blame\u2014is one of the big three effects of shame<\/a> that makes it toxic. She explains that anger and blame not only make us miserable but perpetuate our shame by disabling our ability to connect with others<\/em><\/a>. According to Brown, connection is one of the big three elements of both living a fulfilled life<\/a> and healing shame.)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
