SHAME

“最负面的情感既不是悲痛，也不是无法压抑的怒火，而是羞耻感 (Shame)。

羞耻是灵魂的疾病。它是自我体会到的、关于自我的一种最令人心碎的体验。羞耻是我们体内感受到的伤口，它把我们和自己分开，同时也把我们与他人分开。

在羞耻感中，一个人的自我意识(self-conscious)是‘分裂’的——想象当我们处在另一个人的眼光下——羞耻中的人的自我意识就会有这样的分裂，自己永远处在自己的眼光下。

羞耻感，是一切暴力(无论是针对个人的暴力，还是针对特定人群的暴力)最初也是最本质的起因。愤怒、攻击、暴力都是一种不良习得的、对羞耻这种过于痛苦的感觉的应对策略。

用愤怒这种看似强大有力的情绪，来遮蔽令人无力的羞耻感。为了应对羞耻，个体把内部对于自我的苛责，外化到了外界和他人身上，然后对这个外界和他人 感到愤怒、加以攻击。这种感觉，要比纯粹的羞耻感好忍受一些。

不同于绝大部分的情绪，羞耻感不会随着时间流逝而消失，它潜伏在我们体内。它是最不容易被承认和释放的情感，是一种最隐秘的情感。”

SHAME是Laughing Ears即将在FunctionLab发行的个人EP。羞耻、遮蔽、自我厌恶和隐瞒， 将四种情感糅合成这张EP，在情绪强烈消耗后难以控制的冲动下展现Laughing Ears最为隐蔽和裸露的个人情感。

"The most negative emotions are neither grief nor anger that cannot be suppressed, but shame.

Shame is the disease of the soul. It is one of the most heartbreaking experiences. Shame is the wound inside. It separates us from ourselves and also separates us from others.

In shame, one's self-consciousness is 'split' - imagine that when we are in the eyes of another person - the self-consciousness of people in shame will have such a split, themselves Always in your own eyes.

Shame is the first and most essential cause of all violence (whether for individual violence or for specific groups of people). Anger, assault, and violence are all coping strategies for shame.

Using seemingly powerful anger to mask the powerless shame. In order to cope with shame, the individual externalizes the internal blame on the self to the outside world and others, and then angers and attacks the outside world and others. This feeling is better to endure than pure shame.

Unlike most emotions, shame does not disappear with time, it lurks in us. It is the least easily recognized and released emotion, it is the most secretive emotion. ”

SHAME by Laughing Ears will be released on FunctionLab on November 19, 2019. Shame, To Cover, Self-loathing, Keep in the dark, combines the four emotions into one EP, showing Laughing Ears' most hidden and bare personal feelings.
