I feel so guilty so easily!!?

Question

I'm a goody good girl all the way and almost NEVER do anything wrong at all.

And I feel so guilty for the most stupid things!!!

Is there a way to not feel so guilty all the time?

Answer 1

I sometimes have the same problem. I always seem to regret everything I've done that didn't turn out right.

The best way to overcome this is to look back. The last time you felt guilty for something that you believe to be rather silly, think back to what occurred because of it. Was there anything that affected your relationships with anybody as of now? Did it hurt you in the the long run? I find that in the end everything blows over, and becomes well again, or it didn't affect anything whatsoever. Everyone moves on.

Eventually I got accustomed to the fact that some of the silly things i felt guilty for really won't matter much in just a few days. And if that doesn't work, talk to someone about it and you'll soon find out that the person doesn't mind at all at what you did.

Answer 2

rationalize with yourself.. will it really matter in a day? a week? a month? half the time it will be forgotten.

Answer 3

That's just religious programming. You can't get rid of it without getting rid of IT.

Answer 4

Hey for the most stupid things, don't feel guilty. You probably have good intentions so even if it has bad effect, don't be so hard on yourself. Whatever happens, accident or not, just learn from your mistakes and move on. And you posting a question about you feel guilty shows that you must care. Hopefully this helped!    and take it easy, everyone makes mistakes...

Answer 5

of course break the rules every once in a while. relax and dont be so uptight about things ppl are expected to break rules and rules are ment to be broken otherwise life would be boring

Answer 6

Answer 7

shame on you , Young lady...just kidding..that little "almost" spoiling whole picture...Stop judge what is right and what is wrong, just live your life as you can for yourself first...the concept of right wrong you received from others, dear...why you assume that they know and you don't?They cannot know it either, they received that concept also from others...why do you think that your life is about to please others? That is why you feel guilty ...you neglected yourself...when last time you pleased yourself?Just made yourself happy without involvement of "others" Life have nothing to do with a bargain between one another..Life is given to you individually, do not give it away for the sake of another...there is no appreciation you'll get ever.Live it yourself and be your best...then you can share, not to trow it away for nothing as many do....

Answer 8

What you have , as a trait, is an asset and not a liability!

The overwhelming aspect of your life seems to be ..not to hurt anybody by accident or by design.  By design , I mean a premeditated desire to hurt someone physically or mentally. This you can do and this is within your total control. You are already doing this.

What you do by accident, say inadvertantly,  also affects you. here , you have to overcome this feeling. You are not responsible for the act but you were dragged in . I feel the best way to overcome this guilt feeling is to apologise immediately after the action and accept your stupidity. You have to overcome your ego to do this  and if you do, you will feel better instantly.

Answer 9

I have the same thing.

You just need to accept yourself for who you are and what you've done.

Everyone makes mistakes.
