Steven Dillard, Culture? What culture?
You don’t go insane. Usually it is a combination of genes that predispose you to act in certain ways under certain circumstances, together with circumstances that provide the proper stresses needed to activate those genes that causes people to behave in ways that others deem to be insane.
Shame makes people feel bad about themselves. If they have a genetic predisposition for mental illness, being shamed, either by others or by yourself, can push you into mental illness. Most of us have been raised by parents and teachers who use shame to try to get us to behave the way they want us to. Shame does enormous damage to some people. It’s probably not a good way to correct anyone at any time, but for some people, it is disastrous. They internalize the shame and start to feel like they are worthless and unlovable, and this is what pushes them to do unusual things to get along in life. When people behave in unusual fashions, others will say they are mentally ill.
