    This might indeed be comorbid with the end of something.

    Shamelessness is said to be an expression of freedom which is ironically an admittance of repression.

    The shameless actor is anxious about lost freedoms, and feels compulsion to perform. Unfortunately their performance is entirely dependant on a viewer, whether to take pleasure in their disgust or to justify further acts in others.

    Ultimately if the shameless were truly free they would not have these extreme compulsions. It is said to be common in historical social decline, or when the future is uncertain.
