With love, please consider - the "shame" you're describing is really something else in a mask.
Perhaps... a longing? Maybe this stranger has helped you find the place where you do truly long for life.
Let the feeling be. Don't label it shame. Don't label it longing. Just let it be. Give it space. Cry if you feel like it. Laugh if you feel like it. Just feel it.
And when you're ready to speak about this with others, there will be many, many willing to be there for you. You are loved.
