Hey everyone! In case you haven't noticed, this is a new community focused on NonPolitical Comics (NPCs), which essentially means no gloom and doom of the day stuff.

If you like the idea, help out by posting a comic that you enjoy for us to share!

For people who have grown up under fundamentalist religion or abusive families, this definition of shame is very narrow. Often times, shame isn't a vice that you hold onto for an excuse, it's something that you were told you should feel for so long.

I don't feel shame for being bisexual anymore or for thinking "filthy" and "sinful" thoughts but for years and years I did.

I know this is not related to the previous thread but I just wanted to point out that shame can sometimes be something placed on us, even if we don't want to believe it.
