Pride/Shame Dilemma

A situation where you feel deeply proud of an action only to realise that the act, however magnificent or unique, cannot be shared with others without revealing something private and shameful.
He emerged from the public restroom feeling liberated and youthful. His mind often returned to the girthy behemoth that he'd left behind. He reflected with pride at how much of his product was above the waterline. His reverie was cut short by the realisation that despite his Herculean effort, this was far too shameful to share with his friends.

"What are you thinking about?"

He smiles, gazing fondly into the distance before dropping his head, feeling the full weight of his pride/shame dilemma, and quietly muttered,

run of shame

the "run of shame" comes from the walk of shame but means something quite diffrent.

the run of shame is where the shame is so apparrent the solition entails running. this can happen in a number of diffrent ways. foot ball is a good example
You are innocently walking through the park and a nearby game a football is in motion and the ball flies in your general direction. You have a choice.
a. ignore the ball
b. kick the ball back trying to look as talented as possible

c. try and stop the ball and carefully pass it back trying not to look to silly.
You choose option b, you attempt to smash the ball as hard as one can to reach the football game eagerly awaiting the return of there ball. you fail you miss hit the ball spectacularly falling over and the ball goes even future away from the football game, you possibly break or deflate the ball in the process, lose the ball, or simply look bad at football in front of lots of people. The shame caused by this is over whelming the only thing appropriate is to run hard after the miss hit ball and pray you don’t make the same mistake again. “The run of shame”
Example 2. You run, you shoot at goal, you miss and it goes miles past the keeper, without stopping you continue to retrieve the epic fail of a shot, hopefully getting the ball back will redeem the fail. This is the "run of shame"
Example 3 you kick the ball over an impassable obstacle (fence, lake, country border), before anyone can get cross with you for ruing the game you commence the “run of shame” knowing full well there is no getting the ball back.
