In therapy:

"no, that's not guilt, that's shame" "I don't understand the difference."

In a flash of insight, I realize I actually do not understand the difference. I am completely at a loss. And I feel really bad about it.

I needed distraction. Mindless entertainment.

"I'll watch Big Mouth! Oh look, a new character: David Thewlis is The Shame Wizard! FUCK ME!"

I love the Shame Wizard. But yeah, the distinction leads to some uncomfortable places.

I have a serious conversation about this with my therapist

"You act like there's someone watching and judging you"
"It's called being Catholic, Morrie"
"No, it's more than being Catholic. It's not guilt, it's shame"

Then I watch Big Mouth:

Rabbi: "Jews, we do not feel shame. We feel guilt."
Me: "fffffffffuuuuuu"

But yes, the Shame Wizard is hilarious.

Then I look forward to my favourite show, the Good Place which has nothing to do with morality or judgement. Nope. Hahahaha. Fuck me, I'm Chidi.

I’m Chidi but less smart, alas.
