Regret opens a door and says, I wish I had done things differently.

Shame locks it and says, this is who I am.

The distinction untangles everything.

Regret focuses on our actions and behaviour; shame stains our identity and labels who we are, freezing us in time, convincing us that who we were then is who we are now.
