Shame trigger

I have been reading Brene's Brown Book I thought it was Just me but it isn't.
In this book she talks about " shame triggers and knowing our shame triggers."  She says it is best to reach out to other people so we won't feel alone in our shame and to be empathetic to others that way shame can't breed.

I will share two shame triggers
1. Body image- Me thinking I am very heavy and I need to lose weight especially when the visitor comes.
2. Also this perfection-keeping the house clean and trying to do all the right things.

Who else feels these triggers? What are your triggers?
She says if we can name them and talk about them, we won't feel so isolated and alone.
