Shame vs Guilt

Someone put forward the idea that you feel guilty about something you've done, but shame is related to who you are - ie, feeling guilty about telling a lie, but feeling shame that someone would think are a liar.
I've never had the distinction made before. What do you think? Discuss :)

  1. I think maybe that shame is reliving the guilt. It's what makes you feel bad for a longer period of time. Maybe?? Tricky question!
