shame attack

A reaction of embarrassment/ self-hatred.

I can't believe I spent £150 in Primark on Saturday, I'm having such a shame attack!

I'm having a major shame attack! I can't believe I did that!

Whatever you do, make sure you don't get a shame attack in the second post. You've done nothing to feel bad about.

Shame Attack

The physical and emotional reaction to doing something particularly shameful.

"What's a 'shame attack?' Like what happens after you do something particularly shameful ... like getting shot down by a 34-year-old."
