Anyone ever heard of toxic shame?

I recently learned of it and realized I suffer from it... also learned how to overcome it. It's basically where you think deep down you are flawed to an unhealthy extreme. Anyone else suffer from this or think they do? Any advice for those that do?

I'll be honest, I hadn't heard of it, but it sounds a lot like "imposter syndrome" which may be another name for the same thing. And yes, I do suffer from that. I don't think I'm anywhere near good enough to even exist.

@Peppa You're right. It is. I don't like people being overly arrogant but I do like the idea we might have confidence in ourselves.
