I think that's the most powerful feeling I can have. The memories which stay with me longest are the ones where I feel intensely ashamed or embarassed. I can potentially wake up writhing in agony over some memory from middle school. Other memories exist strongly too, but not with the power of these.
That doesn't say much about me. Shame/embarassment is linked strongly to self love.
Still, I can use it. In a case of right and wrong when my moral sense won't wake up, I can always try and imagine the embarassment of being put in the wrong. I can writhe plenty. Whatever works.
