Course overview
Lesson Overview

8.5 – Cultural and Social Sources of Shame: Society often teaches people what is “acceptable,” and anything outside that can lead to shame. Cultures shape ideas about beauty, gender, success, and family roles, creating invisible rules that pressure everyone to fit in. When you don’t meet those expectations, shame can whisper that you’ve failed. Media and social platforms make this worse by showing unrealistic images of perfection. Shame grows when you feel like you’re being measured against impossible standards. But culture doesn’t define your worth—you do. Understanding how these pressures shape your feelings helps you separate what’s yours from what’s been placed on you. By questioning those social messages, you reclaim your voice. Learning to value authenticity over approval allows you to live more freely and truthfully.
