What is the difference between guilt and shame and how do they impact our mental and emotional well-being?

Guilt is feeling bad about a specific behavior or action, while shame is feeling bad about who we are as a person. Guilt can motivate us to make amends and change our behavior, but shame can lead to feelings of worthlessness and self-blame. Both guilt and shame can negatively impact our mental and emotional well-being by causing stress, anxiety, and low self-esteem.
