Were you raised in a Catholic orphanage? Shame is not integral to anything but personal morality if ascribed to by the individual.

Noooo, you cane be ashamed of all kinds of things that have may or may not have something to do with morality, like being stupid or poor or fat or clumsy or dependent or dishonest. It's about evaluating oneself relative to standards, often societal, but they can also be communal like those of a team or class, or familial, or even personal. Shame is essentially a feeling of remorse or regret inadequacy at one's own shortcomings whatever they may be, not necessarily moral, they can be practical or even superficial.
