Okay, but I wanted more information.

So Tony, I asked her, hey, can you give me an example?

Because it sounds like you're talking about something pretty specific.

And she started getting embarrassed.

That shame started building up.

You know, she thought about it for a second and she said, yeah, you know, the other day I had to go return something that I bought at the store.

She wanted credit back.

She wanted a refund for it.

You could see her, you know, blushing and getting embarrassed just thinking about this moment.

But she said, I thought to myself that as I walk into the store with this item that I want to return, she started getting anxious just thinking about it because she thought, you know, the clerk at the store would judge her.

Maybe the people standing around would judge her.

Now, I know that's really small, but think about the sort of belief somebody must have about themselves and the world.

To think that if I bought something and then I want to return it because I don't like it, people might look down at me.

In what other places in her life does she not ask for what she needs?

Does she not say what she wants to say?

Does she not raise her hand in the class or tell somebody she's in a disagreement with that she disagrees with them?

Because the fear, shame, is that if I do this thing, I will be different than, I will be laughed at, I will be looked down at, right?

And I think most people listening right now have had at least a couple of experiences in their lives where they can relate to feeling like people are going to look down at you.

The fear and the feeling is semi-natural.

If you start stopping yourself from doing things in the world because of that feeling, or if you start having to drink or use drugs or in some other way, escape the feeling, that's where we develop some serious problems.
