You must have : Experienced some strong punitive disciplining growing up. Even though you are now grown when someone yells st you, you regress to feeling like a child caught doing something wrong, even if you have done nothing warranting the yelling. Consider speaking with a therapist to get beyond this.

Shame: Shame is a basic needed feeling. From very early in our life we start to have a relationship with this feeling. Shame is telling us that the world is not giving us what we want. The most important aspect of that is we want human connection. It helps us determine what is wrong but it can become toxic. Engaging with a good therapist should help. It is complex.

Shame: Shame is just about the darkest emotion people can face. It presupposes that there's an audience to our alleged wrongdoings, and that devastating judgement will be passed. Something to remember is that everyone has something they feel ashamed about; it's inescapable. Find a reputable psychotherapist to speak with. Getting it off one's chest in a safe, nonjudgmental place is the first step.
