Do not feel guilty over what happened to you for example, an illness. Do not feel guilty over what you unintentionally did, can be called a mistake or an accident. Say sorry and move on. Sorry as an acknowledgement of it happening to the person, but not because you caused it.
Do not languish in guilt over what you did but NOW realise you should not have, lay it to rest by repenting, correcting, apologising and progressing to do the opposition. This is enough to make you start with a clean slate, the past should be left in the past.
Shame over what is not your responsibility or beyond you is double punishment.
Life happens to us all, reject judgements resulting from other people’s standards because they not relevant to your life situation. People's assessment of you should not define you.
Never be ashamed of anything you cannot help, if you can do something about any situation, do it, if that is what you honestly want.
If you are unhappy with the result of your actions, you should not feel any shame because you tried anyway, learn the lessons and use them to get a better result next time.
Shame is a dangerous negative emotion, which can cause serious illness, the origin of which may be difficult to trace. Humans have limited reserve of energy at any given time, we should focus our energy on planning and doing better next time, not on our past or what other people think of us.
Celebrate who you have become and enjoy life
