What's in your conscience?
The problem.
The emotion of guilt. I want to overcome it.
I want my conscience to loosen up a bit, but nope. Even with people's consent and blessings, I cannot 'take' anymore or wanting to receive any blessings.
And I cannot 'give' either. What am I supposed to 'give' if I truly don't want to in the first place? Or heck, the act of giving itself gives me guilt for whatever reason.
I don't know
I hate guilt.
That sounds like a problem that needs professional help. Have you tried?
I can't afford professional help.
Even if I know someone who's capable of assessing this, I won't tell it to anyone who had actually known of me.
It's no different from not taking you seriously for being too high functioning. Well, at this case, I'm too 'fortunate' to be taken seriously since I don't actually 'have' a 'problem' except that it's just me. People simply would tell that I 'should be grateful', that I'm 'lucky', that I have 'no real problems'...
Seriously. What kind of a person who can't get used to or outright reject contentment?
Why can't I just become a spoiled selfish egocentric brat who disregards at people's worries and refuses to move beyond that?
Even though that's a bad thing. And I don't exactly wish to be a good samaritan either.
Perhaps you are describing what Catholics call "scrupulosity"?
That's when someone thinks everything is a sin, even innocent things.
Some people say scrupulosity comes from pride.
I would say it comes from fear,
maybe a fear that you need to be perfect.
Well, nobody's perfickt ! !!
Or maybe I've got this wrong, in which case,
you're welcome to disregard my guess.
Anyways ...
The cure I prescribe:
Go watch some cute cat videos and feel better?
