shame
Shame is an unpleasant self-conscious emotion often associated with negative self-evaluation. The focus of shame is on the self or the individual with respect to a perceived audience. According to cultural anthropologist Ruth Benedict, shame arises from a violation of cultural or social values while guilt feelings arise from violations of one's internal values. Psychoanalyst Helen B. Lewis argued that the experience of shame is directly about the self, which is the focus of evaluation. In guilt, the self is not the central object of negative evaluation, but rather the thing done is the focus. [Wikipedia]
