A Philosophy of Shame Quotes

“Major signs of such shame aversion include narcissistic rage and narcissistic perversion. The narcissistic pervert devotes himself to shaming the other (a female partner, friend or lover) through constant reminders of this type in order to block and prevent any outbreak of shame within himself – making the partner or friend ashamed as she becomes aware of her uselessness, for example.”
― Frédéric Gros, A Philosophy of Shame: A Revolutionary Emotion
