Sometimes feeling of embarrassment or shame come from comparing ourselves to others. It happens too often in this social media enriched world. I suggest unplugging both figuratively and literally from some of these sources of comparison. Social media is a highlight reel and you can't compare your bad day with someone's best day. A fleeting feeling that you're not good enough can turn into an continuous feeling if you let it overcome you. Looking deeper into where your feelings of embarrassment or shame is coming from, maybe its a feeling of rejection from a friend or significant other, maybe it's a change at work; whatever it is when you put it into words you can move past it.
