Shame proper: The emotional experience of having exposed one's inherent “flawedness” or “defectiveness” (e.g., vulnerabilities and needs) to a viewing, judging other. (We, ourselves, can be our viewing other.)
Moral shame (as distinct from guilt): The experience of having exposed one's moral flawedness to a viewing other.
Embarrassment: Mild shame.
Self-consciousness: Anticipatory or signal shame.
