[Faith-talk] guilt

[Brandon A. Olivares]

Vejas,

You need more confidence in yourself. It sounds like you expect to inconvenience people, or for people to be upset at you. You are not a bad person. Stop telling yourself this story about not being perfect. Of course things happen, but what is that story doing for you? Perhaps tell yourself the story that you are a good person, deserving good things in life. And indeed this is true. You have nothing to feel guilty over.

> The best example I can give is that awhile back we had a test, and my friend told me what was on the test without me even asking.  She was just trying to be helpful, but I saw that the test was really similar to what she had told me about.  So even though I didn't get into that much trouble, and was told how it was good that I was honest, my friend had more serious consequences, and I felt horrible that I put her in this situation and told my teacher about the test to save myself.  Meanwhile, she had no idea that it was me.  I spent a much longer time than I probably should have mulling over this situation and how bad I felt, even thou people said it wasn't my fault.
> I don't like hurting anyone's feelings, to the point that I won't always speak up for how someone can better help me so that I don't make them feel bad.
> So my question is, has anyone had a problem where they feel bad when they've inconvenience anyone at all, or obsess over situations too much? What did you do to stop yourself from obsessing over things? I hope that I'm making sense.
