"Мне очень стыдно"

To my mind, "очень стыжусь" demands an object - Я очень стыжусь этого поступка. If your intention is to just state your emotion without any circumstances "Мне очень стыдно" is better imho.

But if you want to express shame for something specific, it's better to use the verb? What case does it take?
