anon, all of those things are good in moderation. Shame stops you from being a sociopath, and allows you to better fit into your family, community and society at large. Unless you're a mountian man, or a monk in some remote area, a lack of any shame at all will eventually get you the same way socioeconmic factors get got. Lack of ability to control your own emotions in the moment because of an inability to percieve shame. Without shame, eventually you will logically come to the conclusion that any action that benefits yourself is the correct one, regardless of any other outcomes. And that's not good. Guilt goes with it. Neither need to be excessive, but having an internal set of morals requires both. Empathy allows you to get along with people around you, because with it you don't need to personally deal with whatever they're doing, if you can emptathize. None of those are negative. All of them are negative if taken to extremes.
That's the part you should be wary of. Anyone trying to inundate you with extreme emotions. Having emotions is perfectly fine and healthy. Please don't be a sociopath (i don't think you're a sociopath)
