I'm ashamed of my own people.
Why are you ashamed of your own people?
Thinking about them and how they act makes me feel awkward.
You don't have to agree with or like everything that people do, but you shouldn't focus too much on these feelings. If you dwell on it, it could turn into hatred of your own people which is not healthy. Try not to be so judgmental of others.
Maybe you're right.
I'm glad you are willing to consider my advice. I think you will find you are much happier if you aren't so focused on worrying about what other people are doing. Being ashamed of your own people will just cause you to feel worse overall, and you should instead focus on the positive things that your people do.
