shame spiral

A shame spiral characterizes the loss of self-control over something that makes one feel worthless and pathetic. Due to these feelings of low self-worth and guilt, the action that triggered the shame spiral is repeated and the degradation of one's self continues. It is a cycle that repeats itself, bringing one down further as it repeats. Example triggers for shame spirals could be excesses of junk food, alcohol, meaningless sex, buying unnecessary gifts for oneself and the like.

Out-of-shape Bob: "I had McDonalds for lunch today and now I am ordering myself a pizza. I am on a serious shame spiral. I hate myself. Ugh."

Shopalholic Sue: "My rent check yesterday bounced but today there was this cute pair of shoes on sale and I had to buy them. How do I get out of this shame spiral?"

Mask Shamed

When others treat you with disdain or contempt for (1) not wearing a mask in public or (2) wearing a medical grade mask that health care providers need.

I was mask shamed while lining up for groceries without a facial covering. The piercing stares and angry mumbles from those wearing masks left me feeling uncomfortable.

slut shaming

People say they are against "slut shaming" when they are trying to tell us a girl who goes around half naked is just as honorable as a girl who dresses nicely, and that a slut is as good as a girl who only has sex with one guy in her life.

How is having my boobs out not a decent outfit?????

Why does sexual history matter
You think women's choices have value

How dehumanizing
I am the same as a virgin wife

Stop slut shaming, bigots

shame carrots

Rubbing one index finger down the other index finger in a gesture of admonishment, like peeling a carrot.

In light of your inappropriate behavior, I can only make shame carrots at you.

Single Shaming

making middle age adults who have chosen to remain single feel like freaks.

A: Apparently, Sarah never brought a date to family functions and her aunts always gave her shit for it.
B: Ugh, Sarah's aunts are always single shaming her!
