sokolski··on Everything is my fault
It's impossible to live like that! Taking responsibility of ones actions - sure, but taking the blame even for random events is useless. Why does it matter whose fault it was, as long as you can learn from it? You don't need to feel guilty in order to spot the errors. It looks like making me feel worse about myself without any good reason. Guilt is a powerful mechanism and abusing it like that might lead bad consequences.
