Are you ashamed of me? This is an Armor-Piercing Question that characters might ask in an emotionally tense moment. It tends to show up in romantic relationships but is not restricted to them. There also isn't a set answer that the "accused" could give. Maybe they're a teenager with who doesn't relish the prospect of their partner meeting their Amazingly Embarrassing Parents. A less benign version of this conflict might be a situation where two characters different ethnicities are in a relationship and one of them is worried about racist backlash. This trope can be particularly applicable to queer couples. Adam and Bob or Alice and Barbara might be not be out in exactly the same way as each other and have asymmetric concerns about coming Out of the Closet, Into the Fire, leading to tension in the relationship. This can also apply if Alice and Bob are in relationship and one of them is trans. An argument that contains a Shame Accusation might form the basis for a Third-Act Misunderstanding. |

The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air: In "Not with my Pig you Don't", Philip gets angry at Will for telling a reporter the stories Hattie, Philip's mother, told about "Zeke's" youth, such as the time he ran inside a segregated bathroom, and how his pet pig, Melvin, helped him to become the first non-White winner of the youth farmer award at the county fair. Just as Philip is scolding Will about making public some memories he considers embarrassing, Hattie then scolds Philip for being ashamed if his past. In "She ain't Heavy", Will goes out with a heavier girl named Dee Dee that he actually enjoys hanging out with, but doesn't want to take her to the dance, and gets defensive when teased. She calls him out on treating her like something to be ashamed of because she isn't a conventionally attractive thin girl. They do eventually make up over a "Straw"berry joke |

The Simpsons: In "Three Gays of the Condo", Homer discovers an old message from Marge written the night Moe's Tavern opened, chastising him for drinking so much that he made an ass of himself and then got taken to the hospital. This makes Homer feel that she'd always been ashamed of him and go on a trial separation. In "Luca$", when Lisa befriends a budding professional eater named Lucas, Patty and Selma tell Marge that he reminds them of Homer and that girls end up "marrying their fathers". This makes Marge start to question her relationship to Homer, and she tries to turn him into a good influence (without hurting his feelings) by asking him to take his daughter on a date and behave like a gentleman. |

In Mercy (part two of the Sunstone trilogy), Anne and Laura's relationship starts to fall apart when Laura repeatedly blows up at Anne apologizing to her friends about Laura's erratic behavior and accuses Anne of actually being ashamed of her girlfriend. This is presented (admittedly from Anne's retrospective) as irrational and insecure on Laura's part as it sounds. | |
