#1 Guilt: We did something wrong. Our actions might be wrong. But that doesn’t directly define who we are as humans. Guilt helps us to grow

I did a mistake

#2 Shame: When we do something wrong it’s us who take the blame directly and “label” ourselves as bad as the mistake that we did. Shame traps us in a bad emotion.

These are personal learning notes from the books and articles I read, the videos I watched, podcasts I listened to, or people I talked to.
