How to use “ashamed of” (not “ashamed from”)

❌ “I’m ashamed from eating the whole cake.”
✅ “I’m ashamed of eating the whole cake — but not ashamed enough to skip dessert tomorrow.”

Why “from” is wrong and “of” is correct

The word ashamed means “feeling bad or embarrassed about something you did.” In English, you are ashamed of something — never ashamed from. Think of of as connecting the feeling directly to the action or behavior that caused it (proud of, jealous of, tired of). The preposition from is wrong here because from shows origin or cause in a physical sense (come from, made from, suffer from), not the object of your shame.

Ashemed = shy? Noooo

It isn’t correct to use ashamed of meaning shy. Ashamed means or guilt about something. Shy means feeling nervous with someone (for example with a girl or a boy if you have a ….)
