Feeling alone and unseen can intensify the experience of being harassed, shamed, or bullied.

Overnight, I went from being a completely private figure to a publicly humiliated one. I was Patient Zero.

As far as our culture of humiliation goes, what we need is a revolution. Public shaming as a blood sport has to stop.

People who know Clinton knew the guy has a real problem keeping his hands off women.

I mean, I felt terrible. And in the beginning, I mean, I was completely devastated. I mean, can you imagine the kind of guilt that you would feel, and the responsibility?

Anyone who is suffering from shame and public humiliation needs to know one thing: You can survive it... You can insist on a different ending to your story. Have compassion for yourself. We all deserve compassion, and to live both online and off in a more compassionate world.

Building a more compassionate society is going to be a bilateral exercise between individuals and the brands that represent their aspirations, their values and their truths. People make brands. If people are compassionate, brands will be compassionate in return.
