The Worst Thing to be ashamed of

Are the things we do that are labelled “wrong” actually so?

Who among us REALLY has the the most to be ashamed of?

Just how bad is everybody really?

What’s the worst thing you’ve ever done that you’ll admit to doing here on this topic for the purpose of discovering how we all stack up in accordance with… ”The Worst Thing”?


  • I don't support war storying

    I think that the telling of the negative behaviors of the past satisfies a desire within the self and helps sate the appetite of the listeners. It glorifies the behavior in the way that only deeds of kindness should be glorified, and even then only to teach others and never to promote oneself.

    That’s not to say negative actions of the past shouldn’t be spoken of, but not as part of a contest, not to place a bloodstained feather in your cap.

  • The past can't be revisited

    Why the desire to resurrect? Speaking of one’s inequities does nothing to advance oneself nor anyone else for that matter.

  • continual shame

    I still get a buzz from negative energy, which is pointless. I have exhibited this behavior in this very forum :-( Damn the intellectual mind as it battles the soul.

  • I can't remember

    But you should be ashamed of the negative energy you are giving out. Shame, shame on you, PsydewaysTears.

  • i stole a....

    i stole a corvette when i was 14 years old…now it isn’t all that bed because it was originally stolen from one of my friends and i just stole it back for them, i did like 90 all the way to their house without a lisence but i avoided three car wrecks and got him his car back. the worst thing besides that is stole some candy, i did stab a guy in a fight though, wasn’t my fault he cam at me with a knife and the only move i knew to not get me hurt had to hurt him, thats a different story though. yea stole a car has to be the worst i have done.

    a person should be ashamed of being a bad person. in the end that person will have to go before god and explain his/herself.

  • When I was 12...

    When I was twelve I told my principal that his school was fucked up and I took off during homeroom. My house was a two hour walk away and the cops got me when I was 3/4’s of the way there. That is the extent of my bas-ass-ness.

  • Be Human

    Guilt and shame is a part of human health in my opinion. If you cut yourself you feel pain, that's supposed to make you want to stop. If you hurt someone hopefully you feel some sense of guilt or shame, and it becomes physically and mentally torturing. It's our natural instinct to want to survive and be happy, don't try to screw with mother nature!

  • There is no "worst" thing

    I don't think you can compare people in this way - it's exactly the same as "Blah has suffered more than blah2." You can't compare that - what has been bad to me, but not have been bad to you, and vice versa. What does it matter, anyways, though? It's not a contest, and it shouldn't be.

  • The worst thing I have ever done

    we all have done and it is the only thing worthy of shame if it is repeated and that is to LIE TO THE SELF. If one can lie to the self... one can lie to all other selves. Hypocrasy is a close second but shame isn't a beneficial emotion to cling on to either. It comes with the notion that one can't be forgiven. One that imagines they can't be forgiven has nothing to lose and is one scary son of a gun.

  • Ran over a Kid

    I ran over a three year old kid when I was like 11 with my gokart. I put the little dude in a full body cast, on my little brother's birthday, caused my father and uncle to fight and not talk for a year, and I put shame upon myself.

    Actually, I'm glad I ran over the little bastard. He tripped in front of a go kart going 60mph running and he expected me to stop completely.

    Puh-leese.

    Anyways, that's the worst ever.

    *The little dude is fine, but he's still a bastard*

  • me

    The worst thing i have ever done is something i wont ever get over. Last year i was 14. During that time both of my parents (who are Marine Corps and Navy) went to Iraq. While thay were gone I was completely wild I stole, had promiscuous sex with guys at least 7 years older than me, smoked weed, ditched school and lied to everybody including my parents who weren't there. When my mom came back she found out what I had been doing. So despite not having much money at all and not being really able to afford it, she had to send me to a $15,000 christian boarding scool where i stayed for about 8 months. Even until this very day my mom still doesn't trust me (i cant say im truely surprised about that.) and she'll never let me forget it.

  • drugs

    one time, I had a high-stress job. I am not kidding, these people would literally follow you around with a stopwatch too see that you were keeping the pace they demanded. the trouble was, I was always getting timed late in my shift, when i was getting tired and slowing down. the money was good, and i really wanted to keep the job, so, out of sheer deperation, I started taking amphetamines- speed, to you who speak the language- in order to keep pace with the demand. After a few weeks, I was suffering from nervous spasms, would go days without sleep, became so irratable and short-tempered that my girlfriend left me, because I was being such an asshole I didn't even like being around myself. At last the company did the one good thing they ever did for me, and fired my ass. I went though three days of detox in order to clean up and swore an oath never to do anything so fucking stupid again.
