Cancel Culture: A Shameless Plea
I go by the name Shameless Psychiatrist because I talk about how to reduce shame. In fact, I wrote an entire book about it!
Call-out or cancel culture is focused on shaming. This means group shaming to publicly humiliate someone in person and on social media. Hindsight is a gift, and using it to shame others is perpetuating the idea that other people deserve your hate. You might not realize that what is happening on the larger political scale is also happening on a microlevel in middle schools.
