The person said "People without shame are mentally unwell."
You said "How do you expect to treat mental illness through shaming?"
My interpretation of the first statement is that lack of shame is a characteristic that is present in some mental illnesses.
My interpretation of your reply is that you were portraying the original statement as saying that people that are mentally ill should be shamed in order to get well. Which I thought was very far from my own interpretation.
Due to this I went to google and searched for lack of shame as a trait of mental illnesses to check if there were any, and NPD came up as one example. So it seemed like the original statement was correct while saying nothing about how to treat people which is what you implied.
