Shame: The Hidden Virus of the Human Soul How it infects us, controls us, and how we begin to heal “I’m not good enough.”   “If they really knew me, they’d leave.”   “I’m a failure — not just at something, but as someone.” These aren’t just passing thoughts. They are the voice of shame — ancient, invisible, and vicious. Unlike fear or sadness, shame doesn’t come and go. It lives inside us. It shapes how we see ourselves, how we relate to others, and how we interpret every  moment of rejection, silence, or failure. Shame is not a feeling. It is a system of self-attack . And yet, most people don't realize they are carrying it — or worse, that it’s slowly killing  their sense of self. What is Shame? Shame is the painful belief that you are fundamentally flawed , unworthy, or bad. Not that you made a mistake — but that you are the mistake . Where guilt says: “I did something wrong.”   Shame whispers:   “I am wrong.” It’s silent. It’s hidden. It...

Though the trilogy on Resentment is designed as three stand alone blogs, I would suggest that serial  reading well serve better. This blog is going to be a little longer. Let's dive. Resentment Detox – Case Studies and  A 7 Day Detox Plan Resentment Part 2 of 3 This second blog is meant to ground the detox in real life. Not theory. Not ideal outcomes. But how resentment actually forms, lives, and dissolves in ordinary people. The names are changed, but the patterns are real across the globe—commonly seen in therapy rooms,  workplaces, homes, and inner lives.

I understand that the bitterness one carries in mind affects him/her negatively in more than one ways. It leaves an indelible mark on the psyche. Moreover the ember keeps burning deep inside  under several layers of made up masks of happiness. Resentment in effect is raising a toast of  poison to harm your enem(y)ies. Since I realise the importance and gravity of the subject I have designed the blog in three parts. Here is  the first part. Resentment: The Silent Weight That Shapes Health, Relationships, and Life Part 1 of 3   Resentment is not loud. It does not arrive with chaos or drama. It settles quietly, often disguised as strength, patience, or adjustment. And yet, over time, it becomes one of the most corrosive emotional states a human being can carry. This is a complete, grounded, and relatable exploration of resentment—what it is, how it forms, why it persists, how it damages health and life, and most importantly, how it can be released without denial, guilt,...
