Are there elements of yourself that you don't like? Would you consider these to be faults?
If so- how responsible do you feel for them? Do you think they came about as a reaction to the environment you were/are in? Maybe they came about as a defence mechanism? Or- maybe you feel solely responsible for them?
I don't think I'm all bad but I'm not all good either. I have acted very selfishly in the past. I haven't made the effort to stay in touch with people who were very kind to me because I was so utterly engrossed in my job. I feel guilty about that now and I can't make amends because they have died.
Partly, I feel my obsessive character came about as a defence mechanism early on in life. I think I also learnt the lesson that people let you down in life- so it may be better not to be close to them. So- I don't feel entirely responsible for how I've turned out. Partly it seems inevitable in a way. Still- I knew at the time I should have made more effort- so I can't forgive myself entirely either.
How about you? Any regrets? How much can you forgive yourself for the things you regret?
