About this Quote

This quote speaks with the idea that our embarassment is rooted in our own insecurities and worries. We are ashamed of ourselves since we are afraid of what others may consider us or how we may be evaluated. We hesitate of being susceptible and exposing our real selves to the world. This fear of judgement and vulnerability can cause us feeling ashamed of ourselves and our actions. It is essential to keep in mind that our embarassment is often rooted in our own insecurities and fears, and that we must not repent of ourselves for feeling scared. We need to instead make every effort to be brave and accept ourselves for who we are, regardless of our fears.
