I made a fairly small mistake at work last week and the shame is still sitting on my chest. It is way out of proportion to what actually happened, but knowing that does not lift it. The error was minor and forgotten by everyone else, yet I am still replaying it and burning with it.
More people experience this than they realize.
A small failure at work brings shame far out of proportion that lingers for days.
