Shame is a Sadness, accompanied by the idea of some action {NS: of ours} which we imagine that others blame.

Exp.: On these, see P30 S. But the difference between Shame and a Sense of Shame should be noted here. For Shame is a Sadness that follows a deed one is ashamed of; whereas a Sense of Shame is a Fear of, or Timidity regarding, Shame, by which man is restrained from doing something dishonorable. To a Sense of Shame is usually opposed Shamelessness, but the latter is really not an affect, as I shall show in the proper place. But as I have already pointed out, the names of the affects are guided more by usage than by nature.

And with this I have finished what I had set out to explain concerning the affects of Joy and Sadness. So I proceed to those I relate to Desire.
