Brief Overview Unlike other emotions, self-conscious emotions are fundamentally connected to the self, require complex thinking, and involve reflection and evaluation of the self. Over time, we develop an awareness of social presence and make comparisons with one another. We internalize our goals and standards from these emotions. There are four self-conscious emotions: →Pride →Embarrassment →Guilt →Shame Failure and Acceptance As the film comes to a close end when Armand Roulin finally meets Dr. Gachet, Armand took the time to grow throughout each scene. He's had his fair share of pride through fist fights —for his family, for himself, for Vincent van Gogh. He rarely expressed embarrassment, which may be confused with guilt or regret when he made blind accusations of others who could not save Vincent from himself.  Guilt overpowers shame in Armand when he began to learn about Vincent and his struggles.
